Yeah thanks GG i had a look at both products websites so now i have more of an idea, it seems they aren't too common over here yet we have most Adv Nutrient's products.
Hey Asil good to hear that mate! You know it even has a 100% guarantee! They are claims i have just never seen on products over here, i think that's what intrigues me.
Bloombastic? Is that the 3part all in one powder? If it's getting the hype and the comments are positive the price don't really hurt you if you get the best end product for X amount.
I've found that since i have started my grow i am becoming hooked on looking at nutrient's, i mean i did before but that was looking for nutrients to start with but now it's like enhancers and high yields.
When i first set out i wanted a single pot bubbler with a 400 and now i'm 3 times that!
Is this normal behaviour?

I think it is normal. At least for us growers. I never got to caught up in all the nutes. I was sold on GH's Flora micro and Flora bloom with the Lucas formula. It is simplicity at it finest. I have seen many tried and true grows with it and you can't argue with the results. I have been reading up on rezdogs recipe using the same nutes just different amounts and times. Bloombastic is the first time I have even looked at anything, and that is after a ton of reading on it, not just ads but a few threads. Like I said it is like $90 for 325ml so I am still thinking about it. I don't know if I am going to add any enhancers this first round.
I know I have say that although I like my 400w I do regret not just getting the 600w right away. Now I am trying to figure out away to work it in in the next couple of grows. Maybe a growzilla hood with dual 600w lumatec ballast. That would be sweet. The only reason I did go 600 right away was I did want to get the conversion bulb. But hind sight is 20/20. My little ones are growing like mad. I should have some updates for you tomorrow.

Standaman this is perfectly normal behavior we always want more.

Good to hear i ain't alone then. I really wanna try the lucas formula but can't find in depth break down in litre's and i want it to be as accurate as possible for maximum effect.Bloombastic does seem pricey but run it without enhancers first then you will have a benchmark to work with in future.
Yeah i decided to go with the 600's because i wanted more dense buds and not end up goin bigger in the long run, i'll never need to go any higher.
Yeah get some pics up maaan! i only have 3 BB's left out of 5 and only 2 of my AMS have germed! Today is a very dark day
GanjaGrower I can relate to the wanting more, not in a greedy way just the best quality of life for my babies lol

Okay so i have just got a bin bag full of clones a friend just rang me saying "some kids on the estate" have loads of weed!" It turns out a grow house had been found out and the guy was getting rid of all his stuff cos he got paranoid that he was being watched, he apparently dumped all this stuff lastnight at a bus stop of all places!
I don't think there was any equipment dumped though but i am still on the case to find out, all i know is i have bag of clones they dont look too clever though but i'm gonna see if i can save any because my 3 AMS ain't doing a thing 7 days and they are just sitting in the root riots looking stupid, i have given up on them as of now if they pop they pop.

No mate they are shagged big time i think they must of suffocated in the bin bag
There are 14 binned 1 as it was a stem 1 looks greener than the rest the other 12 look like they have been underwater and the leaves are shrivelled badly on all leaves.
My question is can i put them on my window sill to dry out the leaves with the lid off my prop? It 22c at the moment they are in soil or peat with like muslin cloth around them
Thanks

Asil- yeah i have put one in my spare pot and it is coming on nicely!
I just wish i knew what strain it is.
Smoke3- nice one for the pass by mate. I have one that is thriving in my pot so i'm cool with that i got them for nothing so it's no biggy if i cant save them.
On friday i bought a humidifier HR-15 and i gotta say it is the dogs back wheels! Got my Humidity running at 60% plus all i gotta do is turn the dial!
My babies have loved it and have grown like 10-20% in 24 hours and i ain't even BS'ing!
My temps are running at 23c from like 28-30c! Now that's what i'm talkin about! i really don't think i need to do a 6 week veg now so might flip the switch on in a week!

Thats good to here about you got the one clone to come back. I completely forgot about having you thorw them in a bubble cloner. Just a airstone and tap water about 78-80 degrees and you sailing. So you got a De humidifier? one that take the water out of the air or puts it back in?
Hey that would be cool I am ending week four and I am think of hitting the switch also. They are starting to fill the screen to bad I don't know if they ar male or females yet, I was hoping they would preflower in veg. Let me know when you are going to flip I just have to have 24hours notice. I want to let them sit in the dark for 24hrs first then hit them with 12/12. I also have to change the bulb. I don't know how long these are going to go it going to have to be done by the thric's.

Hey Asil....Yeah i actually made my own out of a small plastic tub but like an idiot i spayed it 1st so when i came to cutting my holes the paint sort of came off so i gave up.
No i have actually bought a humidifier only for clones and vegging period, i was just concerned about the slow growth and felt it was my humidity causing the problem, and i think it is the missing link i was after as far as my high temp's in veg.
Ah so you are thinking the same too then? I really want to go 5 weeks but i have got an itchy finger! I will see what happens over the next couple of days but it would be cool to flip around the same time for sure! Mine are showing loads of pistils but i hope you get lucky and have all ladies, and i will let you know when i am about to switch, i'm going to let mine sleep a good while before i do too.
I will have a look at that link now and i will obviously check out your grow too mate

Hey buddy, I got some things going on and I had to send my plants into 24 of darkness. I will be running 12/12 starting tommorrow. I think I am going to go from 8 till 8. Just thought I would let you know I have to have them finished and dried and cured by august. By looking at them I think they were mostly indica so the should finish somewhere around 55 day I hope.

That don't sound too good Asil but you gotta do what's good for you
if i do a 4 week veg i could flip on friday but i'm gonna try and go another week but may have to go 2 more weeks as i have 2 fast growers and 2 slow growers ( 1 is very slow)
Well at least in a couple weeks things will be exciting for you! And i can't wait to see how you get on
