KingAether Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) Good afternoon, First and foremost a huge thank you to @Seedstockers-Mark for providing us all the beans for the challenge and putting such a generous prize pool up and good luck to everyone else involved, I'm excited to see what everyone can do with what we got. After a bit of time waiting for pay day, waiting for stock, waiting for delivery and then returning everything and just cleaning my current tent i am finally getting started on this! Set up currently: 75x75 bud box 35w grow the jungle strip A heat mat with a root!t thermostat Ac infinity extraction fan and good quality tower fan for circulation Govee thermohygrometers As time goes on ill add another small circulation fan and Scope X 250 or HLG 288 r-spec light, switch the heat mat for a large underfloor heating pad on its own thermostat. I may move it all to a cloudlab 422 in my room soon with some photo periods but it depends on how a new S6 sounds when i sleep. Beans where placed in water mixed with a little fresh aloe and left for 12-18 hours until they have all sunk, then placed straight into soil mixed with great white myco, sprayed, covered with film and placed in the tent under the light ready for when they pop. I find the thick, clear plastic storage box lids make great bases for the pots to sit on because they have an area around the outer edge that work great as a reservoir for a bit of humidity in the early days. I have started 2 x wed. glue and 2 x Jack Herer (kindly send with the wed.glue beans) in biobizz lite mix and will be using biobizz nutes throughout; i recently won a litre of the whole range so ill be experimenting with some of the additive bottles to see what i like; i'm really excited to give Bio-Heaven a go as the price is kind of crazy and the reviews seem to back it up really well. I used the biggest and smallest of the Jack beans to see if there is any difference in the beanstalk and added 3 air holes to the back of one of the noodle pots to see how i feel about the idea of air pots in the future.. I used a heat gun and allen key to make small curved "flutes" so they shouldn't leak when watering (fun fact- the label is on heated shrink wrap and not printed on the pot... who knew) Edited November 18, 2021 by KingAether 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Badgeley Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Are you going to use all those Nutrients and Additives? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very unlikely; I use fish, grow and bloom already but may even knock off the grow as fish is just better. Ill try the leaf-coat as necessary to see how i feel about it and I'm looking forward to trying root juice and heaven. I'd need to look more into acti-vera and alg-a-mic but i believe are stress relievers so will likely keep them on call in case needed. My water has ALOT of calcium and a roughly 35:1 cal:mag ratio so ill probably not touch calmag but get epsom salts instead. I do need to get some ph papers but i think the kitchen water is roughly 8~ ill use tiny amounts of PH- and not need the PH+ Top max doesn't get a lot of love and especially with more recent science coming out it honestly sounds like a bit of bullshit to add more to the range 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATB I have no clue at all mate, I might sound like it but you gotta fake it until you make it right? Mostly experimentation this run given some new things a try 22 hours ago, KC said: I'm a bit drunk, but that picture made me laugh so much Good luck with the grow, hope you find something nice You picturing a tiny plant on a couch in front of all the nute bottles too ? Once i have a sproutling ill retake the photo and add a "pornherb" label 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatwentwrong Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Did you win a biobizz competition or something. there must be about £200 worth there, surely you didn’t spend your own money on it. Buying ph up and down seems a bit odd but a full kit would include it so what’s the story. Why every biobizz supplement in the shop (in fact, I doubt most shops even stock their full range). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang on the nail mate, it was one of those "like, follow and tag 3 friends" pot lucks on social media. Technically i came in 2nd but 1st place winner was disqualified for living in the land of freedom eagles; it was UK only entry... poor sod Edited November 21, 2021 by KingAether smelling mistake 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
