Looks good mate. I suggest getting some 3-4 foot bamboo stakes and stake those ladies, Cheese has pretty weak stems and needs some support.

the guy in the shop sounds like a decent bloke. most want to sell you everything they have in stock. I'd do this grow without any nutes and watch it carefully, then compare that with next grow where you add small amounts, and then you will start to dial your grow in.

yeh he was a decent bloke, didnt try and push any extras on me.

i will try it without any nutes, but is there any obvious signs to look out for to do with a lack of nutes? i dunno yellowing of the leaves or something??

The all mix is a pretty hot soil mix, it has a fair bit of nutes added, so you probably won't need any nutes in veg. Bio-Grow isn't that expensive, but I would suggest just buying a cheap bottle of organic feed and some seaweed extract from your local garden cnetre, will work just as well as Bio-Grow and Alg-a-Mic. I am using Bio-grow at the moment cos I happen to have a bottle an it needs using up. Alg-a-Mic is good stuff, but it's just seaweed extract and the cheap stuff works just as well for me.

If you see the lower leaves starting to yellow, she is hungry and needs a feed, the All-mix is strogn though, so you might not need to add any nutes. The seaweed is a good idea to use when watering and as a foliar spray, keeps plants healthy and also stimulates roots.

I'm using All-Mix for the first time, and it is pretty hot, so for two weeks I just ran water, Rhizotonic and Cannazym, but then gradually upped to full strength nutes over a week, and haven't noticed any problems at all in terms of over-feeding. It might be strong stuff, but I think it's smoothly absorbed by the looks of things.

I'm currently growing a Flo plant, which is not meant to be tolerant of heavy nutes at all, but it's thriving on this regime at the moment:

When a soil that is premixed with fertilisers is a bit too strong for the plant thats growing in it, it is described as 'hot' because the plant will exhibit symptoms of nutrient burn. :wave:

thats interesting, when i aquired the cuttings they already displayed signs of slight nute burn, ive been monitoring them and it dosent seem to have worsened, theres faint purple/reddish lines up the main stalk.

anyway all's good, planning to get sum more pics up later on this week, theres nice flower tops starting to take shape.

From what ive heard, the Cheese needs time to develop in veg...otherwise yield is poor. :joint:
