PS I agree with cc2012 above in wondering what the good of top max does, Ive used it a couple of times with no apparent increase in yield as the grows I have done without it. Like I said above its Bio Grow, Bio Bloom and treacle for me

Fair point mate, I just googled the Lucas Method and its true what you say, but as far as I can see the lucas method is a hydro formula. and I think for soil its bio grow all the way, right through the grow

Ok mate-I use bio biz all the time, and what I do is put half a teaspoon of bio grow into a 2 Litre bottle of water, use an empty coke bottle, this works out at just over a mL per litre of water. Because Bio Grow is an organic fertiliser and is made mostly of seaweed extract it is virtually...

That could be good old fashioned nitrogen deficiency or maybe magnesium deficiency ( see Pic ), for nitrogen --feed, even during veg---for magnesium def-- teaspoon of Epsom salts in a 2 litre bottle of water--water plants with this and repeat every 3 weeks right through grow.

float a couple in a cup of lukewarm water--give it a few hours--if they sink chances are they are ready to go--like the dude says above--get reading --see how far you get--get the gear together you will need--keep reading........good luck

Always fancied the look of Acapulco Gold, plus, I like the old school name. Welcome to RIU mate, good crowd here if you behave yourself. To post pictures go to the '' Go Advanced ,, tab below the posting box and first upload any pics into your RIU space--then when posting go advanced again and...

Good thinking mate, nice to see a bit of good old fashioned improvisation

The thing missing from your method so far is heat, in my exp the thing that brings them on quicker than anything else is a little heat, around 80f usually does the trick. I used a heated propagator that can be got cheaply at any garden centre, but if you put your container with the seeds in in a...

Ive got a similar sized closet, and got around 3 ounces per plant my last growin 10 inch diameter pots ( sorry I don't know equivalent gallon size---UK ) you would get a bit more if you used square pots as the have more volume. Even more if you could use 12 inch square pots but I think the...

cheaper to buy one of these if these and put it in the grow box with a timer to coincide with the lights off period. only takes 60W and keeps it normal

Yep it looks like mag def, I'd keep it simple and mix a teaspoon of Epsom salts into a 2 litre bottle of water and water that into your plants, repeat every three weeks right through the grow, works every time

Dannyboy above speaks the truth,, water seedlings a little every day but not enough to drown them, after 2 or 3 weeks of daily watering, start letting the compost dry out a bit before watering again. biggest danger with seedlings that don't have an established root system is drying them out, the...

You lost count of how long they've been flowering ?, jeez, well you could wait till you see the calyx's swelling, then have a look at the plant through a mini microscope and tell for sure. They look about between 25-30 days in to me judging by those pics. They look pretty decent to be fair.

Another thing you can do, which maybe you are already doing is to use a timer to switch off the extractor some of the time during the dark hours, and at the same time using another timer to switch on the tubular heater, with a little bit of experimenting you can greatly improve the temps during...

Hell, those look fine for 25 days or thereabouts, I'd rather have a bushy plant than a lanky tall one any day of the week. Heres a pic of my last grow at roughly the same age, yours look better

Ive heard it argued by growers here whom I have a great respect for that when vegging is over, give them 24 hours of darkness then go to 12/12 apparently this helps the plant switch to a flowering state faster and ultimately means a little less stretch

Welcome Jack--good crowd in general here, keep it friendly and get stuck in, whether you are a grower or just like to chew the cud with other stoners you'll be fine here

Old Hippy here, I do a couple of grows a year and smoke maybe half the year round, my couple of grows basically give me what I need and I seldom have to resort to dealers and obtaining weed elsewhere. What do I do with half the stuff I grow--I give it away. local elderly dudes are affectionados...

Bio Bizz all grow is a good chep soil and lends itself to future organic grow or chemical fertiliser additions.

I use a 250W Metal halide with the usual reflector, its not on your list but I thought I'd post and say I get great results with it, you may have reasons for using CFL's etc such as keeping heat down etc and if so carry on, but don't disregard a MH
