Beginning and end
Beginning and end
Thought I would share this photo I took. Iced and Baked entering her last few days as Orange Diesel is just beginning her life. 💚
They both look pretty happy, did you start them at the same time? If so it looks like one is sensing stress and racing into flower
Absolutely mate, reminded me of this image aswell.
I tried to get a picture with more of the stages in but I couldn't find a focus that looked good so I stuck with first and last.

After 20+years of soil growing, the heatwave at the end of last summer wiped out my growtation and I decided to switch to hydroponics.
It wouldn't have survived this summer in soil and I am not planning on switching back.

I was talking about this the other day. I’ve not long started and only have a few grows under my belt. This is the last batch of this soil I have and was going to try that next and see what the difference is and what works best for my set up. It’s only a 2x2 but good fun
In a 2×2 you can grow a decent plant but if you are just starting out and want to build experience have a look at the solo cup grows, some people have really good results and you could probably get 4 in your tent or run a 4 week growtation just start a new one every 4 weeks.
I’ll have a look but I think I’m going to run the one and then make the decision on how I want to go next. Got a new fan and light and not used them yet and my space is quite tight.
This way I can make a fair comparison to the others.

Sounds like you have everything ready to go mate, start a seed germinating and then you will soon get the space sorted.
Sounds good Pal!
I actually had both of you, the Brit was a winner on all fronts for me and I've saved the Banana for weekend - it has quite the intoxicating aroma to it!

New strains coming down in a week, the pineapple muffin looks already finished but still wanna flush it longer. I'll add some close ups on the buds they look so good. This one here is one of the pineapples
What are you’ll trimming with…. Dry trimming seems to be very much the trend looking at the pictures of lots of the bud on here and elsewhere.
While trimming by hand is favoured, it’s just not always feasible.
I trim my smalls with a trim bag and a toms tumbler (dry) ( surprising good )
Mids with a centurion pro table top (wet)
Tops by hand (wet)
Over the years I’ve had bowl trimmers
bonsai trimmers
Flat grated table top style trimmer
Tried near everything and I think the combo I use now works best for my needs… how about you guys?

Broke mans grow
Little grow I’ve started, seeds from a bag of shake I got from the local budman
£30 5 year old LED strips
£15 small fan
Amazon bookshelf
Tin foil
That’s basically it, I’m growing with the equipment I can afford so far it’s all been things I already owned. I don’t expect top shelf bud from this but it’s exciting nonetheless.
This is truly as budget as it gets I’m not sure how this will end up but we’ll see
It’s also my first time!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

To be honest with electricity cost now yours cheaper but got a nice bit of less than 100 Watts
Dont forget to feed them . When the plant is 4-6 stems high tie the top down to create more bud sites .low stress training goes a long way to a better yield . Cut huge fan leafs off as they are not needed once it grows . Im sure there many more but thats the basics for now . Scrog is also a great way to gain big yields . Enjoy and have fun my friend .
Awesome! A few things I’ve heard of people doing I’ll make sure to give them a go once the plants are ready, I really appreciate the advice mate!
Give them a stronger light otherwise you willl be very dissapointed at the end if you'll stick with this setup till the end. Expect 2-3 joints worth of something at best with those lights
Yeah a few people have told me to upgrade the light, I’d absolutely love to I’m just not in the right place financially for that, hopefully I’ll get one before they’re too far into veg
Summer is round the corner, you are honestly better off putting it on a window sill and itl yield a lot more than this current setup as the led strip has minimum to zero light output which can be tranferred via photosynthesis, my honest opinion is just whack it on the window sill and youl be more than impressed. ✌️
If it’s better than my current setup and I don’t have to spend any cash I’m down to give that a go I think I’ll put two on the sil and maybe get a cheapish light when I can afford it
Always remember the sun light is the best source of light for a plant, I have friends that grow only in the summer and they just put the plants on the windowsill and still achieve a decent yield, and yes bro first thing you want to do when you have money is get a little 600w led or whatever and take it from there but for now imo I say whack them on the window sill and youl be amazed with the results
literally any desk light would do a better job than those led lights.
You can find cheap grow lights on amazon £10-£30 that will be a step up from what you have (still nothing great will come from it but better than those strip leds)

I’ve seen a few of what you’re talking about do you think buying one of those now would be better than waiting a little bit til I can afford a proper light or would keeping them where they are be a better option
Bro tbh I’d just get a few auto flowers ,start them off on a windowsill and move them in ur garden if ur in an area where your able to once the weather gets hotter you’d definitely get a lot better crop at the end of it outside than using that setup
Grab a second hand 1000w led from ebay cheap as chips and will make all the difference
Might have to look into that didn’t even think about 2nd hand due to the nature of what they’re used for
I combated the smell by using double filters one inside the tent and that leads to another filter outside . Seemed to work for me . 4x4 5 plant set up . 1000w mars hydro led .

Start week 6
Awesome stuff bud. I'd love to chill and have a smoke in there with the lady's. You've got a fair bit of trimming to do. Do you employ any trimergrants? Lol
Bro,
Popcorn buds all need strapping up as they can't hold there own weight.
These ones have fallen and ,are on on the light, can't get any closer than that. Can I?? Could you??
These lights are too bright and too powerful to be closer. I need sun glasses on now

I feel like those under canopy lights are too low, it looks like there's no branches/bud near at that level, I'd raise them up to power the lower popcorn buds if there's any.

Here we go I finally got the funds to upgrade my first grow.
Since I posted the last grow I’ve upgrade to a solid light and better equipment all round.
Growing Tropicana cookies purple auto bought from Seedsman.
So far the progress has been extremely fast I’m talking germination to now in about 2/3 days, I’m really excited to do this all properly!
Again any advice is greatly appreciated

Keep at it mate, youl get better and better, I say get rid of the foil as itl burn your plants and just leave the light as it is. You don’t need any reflective material. Just whack some white paint and it’s as good. Looking forward to seeing how this goes for ya. Good luck!
Loving these guys. Reminds me of my first 40x40 CFL setup.
Which quickly took over an entire spare room with 2 tents and all manner of equipment 🤣
Good luck and keep us updated on the diaries

Once again I couldn't resist I just had to show this to you all. There's so many tops it looks amazing to me. Hope you find it just as pretty.
This is under 1x 750w led.
Can you guess how many plants?

Nice mate. I run 9 under each 1.2m2 with san lights. Looking into adding some of the under canopy’s, still to decide if it’ll benefit me as I strip 60% if not more from the bottom up. What strain are you running are they from clone ?
There's exodus cheese, mac #1, gelato cookies, blue dream there might be coouple more can't remember. They were from seeds but these are cuttings from those.
Under canopy light will benefit the lower buds if there's any that doesn't get enough light

Same it sounds lovely to me and I know Barnes Farm always delivers but never had anything from doja.
Doja has some iconic strains, Permanent Marker for one. Never had from them themselves, cos to fuck with $80+ for a 3.5 lol, but the strains are good.
Do people pay that much for it? Reminds me of the 2015 era madness when "cali weed" being sold for 30 a gram lol
Well, the Gentleman Dealers have it at $90, for undeniably questionable jars of Doja, and people pay that
Sounds like Thailand smoke, remember LSD from them unbelievable transparent plant, black kush and 8ball kush.

I tried to take so many photos but unless it's a close up the colors don't really show that well but the Gelato Cookies buds are so purple.
Anyways these girls are very close to be finished, Gelato Cookies (greener leaves) and Mimosa x Orange Punch (dark purple leaves).

All autos taste like rudarails, not worth the dissapointment at the end for me.

I am guessing you haven't grown any autos in the last 10 years.

Quick pic of zombie kush
Quick pic of zombie kush
Don't wanna give away too much until it's listed but 10 days or so until chop! 4 zombie kush plants and 4 silver grape sherbs 😋
One of my favourite hashes that I’ve had in the last 10years has got to be zombie kush. It was from another website (which is how I found littlebiggy in the first place though their forums) and never used them again since! The zombie kush had a lovely smell, almost lavender to me, tasted great and was very strong!
Oh hell yeah! I wouldn't say these ones are too heavy on the lavender but that note is definitely there! I can't wait to see how it turns out 👀
Very much looking forward to these grows Rozzy, glad its all going well! Had 2 other lots of flower in between your last crop, and they're just pish in comparison :(
Aw man I'm sorry to hear that. I know there is some fire elsewhere on biggy though so don't be too deterred! That being said I'm gonna keep trying to outdo myself each time... I don't wanna speak too soon but I think this stuff is gonna outshine the previous!
As ever man I'll drop you a message as soon as things are ready :)

I couldn't give an exact date just yet but I'm hoping before the end of April. For a while I was kinda saying it'll be ready before 4/20 but I don't wanna be putting out or squishing undercured materials. A lot of learning has been done and I can't mess that up over my own impatience lol. I'm sure I'll make a post when alls ready though :)
Im in no hurry. Would you mind saving me some when you do or messenger when its ready please.

Advice on fruit flies please 🙏

Advice on fruit flies please 🙏
I’ve got a bug problem with my grow. Can anybody give me any advice on dealing with fruit flies please? I’ve bought some bug strips and some ‘natural’ bug spray. I’m avoiding over-watering the girls as I know that attracts the little bastards. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Sure they are not fungus Gnats (Sciarid Flies) or thrips?
Either way, nematodes are a good natural option to combat major infestations, letting the medium dry between waterings in order to limit larval growth is practice and then dust everything with diatomaceous earth to create an unfriendly environment for the little buggers.
Also, good call with the yellow sticky cards

Nice one. I’ve just ordered some nematodes.. they look like just the job. Many thanks amigo!!
Diatomaceous earth. order a tub! in future mix a small amount in with new soil, and in the case you have sprinkle a thin layer over the top of yor pots and repeat every 2-3 days until 7-10 days after they've gone. yellow traps also, as a visual aid to check the frequency, when they're really gone, and if/when they come back.
Bottom watering to keep the top layer of soil dry.
Also, try adding hydrogen peroxide to your water, this will kill the eggs along with sticky traps around your pot.
I forget the ratio of h2o2 to water so you'll need to look it up.
good luck 👍

A layer of pebbles over the surface is also helpful
Canna cure is a good product that's worked wonders for me.
Them long, hanging sticky fly traps, than unravel are mint. Hang them away from the plants abit, just out of direct light

Yes ,not a nice situation to be in.
I had it once but the plant was in flush already so it didn’t ruin the end product. I hope you can save yours. I used both of these products in past.

When I saw this I was going to say get some bug strips, might be worth setting a trap in there as well, fucking cunts I hate em
I had this really bad once. Make sure you have some sort of filter on your air intake, even a stocking, I used a sieve. Then buy a bottle of “Knat off” It says add 4ml per litre in every watering but I added 2ml per litre. I only gave them 2 watering of the knat off and they all disappeared. My soil was swimming with the little buggers and 2 applications of knat off and an air filter and I never had those flies ever again. Also if you’re using soil or some other substrate make sure it’s from a reliable source. Also there eggs hatch when you water that’s why it seems worse after watering. I think the knat off stops them from being able to lay eggs and fungus knats (fruit flues) only live for about 7 days at the most so it should clear in a week. Hope this helps 👍
I used to have no end of problems with gnat based bastards, and nothing seemed to work.
The last solution i tried was a thin layer of sand which killed my entire grow, even though i actually tasted a mouthful to make sure it was not salty!
The way i got rid was never, ever using New Horizon compost again, and switching to BioBizz lite mix.

Super cropping

Whats people's views on Super cropping??
Im all in, why would you not boost your yields.
This Kush had 8 main shoots, now she has about 50. Each main shoot will have 10+ main shoots

Super crop is really good, I usually just wait until the 8-10th node, chop the main head off and train the rest of the arms to be main heads or il monster crop and get a 100 main heads.
Here you go mate hope the ankles on the mend ✌🏻
Guide to Monster Cropping
1 Select & Cut: Choose a healthy, flowering female plant (2-3 weeks into flower) and take cuttings from the lower branches, as they tend to root faster.
2 Immediate Care: Immediately place the cuttings in water or dip them in rooting hormone to prevent air embolism.
3 Rooting: Place cuttings in a rooting medium (rockwool, perlite) under a humidity dome.
4 Re-vegging: Once rooted, place the clones under an 18/6 or 20/4 light schedule.
5 Recovery: The plants will grow strangely for 3-4 weeks, producing single-fingered leaves and a dense, bushy shape before resuming normal growth.
6 Training: Utilize training techniques like Screen of Green (ScrOG), topping, or Low-Stress Training (LST) to manage the massive amount of side branches.

Its allegedly the remaining florigen, (cannabis natural flowering hormone) left in the cuttings that gives them that turbo boosted growth and the potential to produce main colas from all upper nodes. Monster cropping combined with the gas lamp lighting regimen on a n.f.t. tank is incredible.
Gas lamp lighting??
I've never taken cuts more than about 10 days max into flower.
If i do a 36 hour darkness period at the light switch to 12/12, I'll take the cuttings straight away as the growth in the 36 hours is abundant

Sorry, I meant Gas Lantern routine. It gives two lights on phases in a 24hr period during the vegetative phase. Improvements in economy, growth, reductions in stress. Can be followed by 11/13 flowering phase. Its an interesting horticultural rabbit hole. Lots of info to delve into.
Something new to research.
About 4 years now ive done the 36 hour darkness routine at the start of flower.
For me it speeds up the plants transition from Veg to flower

I love the banter. Mainlining and supercropping is fun.
A single cola dominant mother plant, cloned and fliwered in 4litre cells in a sea of green will win all day in terms of grams per watt.
I do appreciate that mainlining and super cropping is m8les per smiles.
Give me a single cola dominant mama and sog all day long.
Im not being facetious. Just doing my thing.

Fair play mate.
If I had no restrictions. Xl DwC Alien system.
The way I play it is, Veg costs less electric. So i veg loads of plants then at flower time.
More roots more fruits

Its a high stress training method which you take clones while the plant is flipped/flowering, occasionally between the first few weeks and when it starts revegging itl start pulling out heads upon heads. All Main heads.
Right ok,
I take my cuttings during week 1or2 of flower as the new growth is lush and roots strong.
ReVeg can take a while though would you say mate??
I will give it a go

Correct brother, during the first 3 weeks of flower is all fine, bottoms preferebly as theyl root up faster, will take an extra weekish or so compared to normal clones, reveg will take about 3-4 weekish but by the time its revegged youl have unlimited ammounts of heads, its also a good way to just keep a mother of the same plant as when it grows itl bush up exactly like a mother without training etc.
Me too.
They are the most important to maximise returns.
Ive had a couple wake up calls on my last round, few important jobs i didn't get around to getting done. They are going to be done a little early this time for sure

Depends on your setup and priorities. Time, space, desired outcome - running the single main stem can results in a big fat cola. For maximum yield & efficiency ( light) in a given space and keeping even canopy then yeah crop.
Sometime its just more fun to let that girl do her thing.... 😜

Plants definitely don't go as mental as they used to when running HPS. I keep my LeD's pretty close.
I had a Kushberry once that I left for few days and she was all in the lights, had to bend the main shoot few times

Cuttings, only if a shoot gets abit happy. If your stripping fan leafs cuttings are magical

Little peak at some plants, week 2(ish) from seed!
Little peak at some plants, week 2(ish) from seed!
(3/1/26)
The top row and left middle are zombie kush and the other 4 are silver grape sherb... not that they're expressing the genetics too much yet.
These are photos, but because I got introduced to growing with autoflowers I always start them in the final container... because of this (and the lights I have) I always find the seedling stage the most finicky. This pic is a few days old but they're officially in veg and starting to have their first explosion of growth so I'm hyped!!
I have a 4x8 tent so the plan is essentially to have 4 plants in each 4x4 space and do some topping when they have a couple more nodes to even out the colas in flower. I'm also gonna put some trellis nets in when flowering starts and do some lollipopping to reduce smaller/more fluffy buds. I got all the time in the world to let these babies do their thing so I'm gonna absolutely ensure that they're as dank as they can be!
Hope you've all had a fantastic new year biggas and apologies if this seemed a bit rambly lol 💚
Also, as a sidenote, after the mintz is gone I'll be bringing in some new and absolutely fire hash! 2026 is set to be a good year man!

These are photos, but because I got introduced to growing with autoflowers I always start them in the final container... because of this (and the lights I have) I always find the seedling stage the most finicky. This pic is a few days old but they're officially in veg and starting to have their first explosion of growth so I'm hyped!!
I have a 4x8 tent so the plan is essentially to have 4 plants in each 4x4 space and do some topping when they have a couple more nodes to even out the colas in flower. I'm also gonna put some trellis nets in when flowering starts and do some lollipopping to reduce smaller/more fluffy buds. I got all the time in the world to let these babies do their thing so I'm gonna absolutely ensure that they're as dank as they can be!
Hope you've all had a fantastic new year biggas and apologies if this seemed a bit rambly lol 💚

Thank you mate! Yeah, absolutely, it's always a great feeling when that first explosion of growth starts and you know they're getting comfy in the pots. I've literally just seen your recent post and DAMN! That red red wine plant is an absolute beast, what sorta training did you do? 🔥
I use most of the low stress training techniques.
Few game changer process/rules i wish id of known all them years ago. They have doubled my totals for sure
Your fabric pots are they 19/22/25ltrs??
What Nutrients are you using??
Do you start your seeds in Root riot cubes or germinate them in water/tissue??
I'm always very interested in how other people grow

Good schtuff! I've never tried LST properly but topping seems to work pretty well at the minute. Similar to you, if I'd started doing it a while ago the yields could've been so much better, but hey ho, all a learning curve!
I'm currently in 3 gallon pots (not sure the litre conversion) and just running advanced nutrients sensi coco veg/bloom with a few extras (b52, big bud coco, bud candy and overdrive) and I tend to just do the water and then damp paper towel thing for germinating. What about you man? I'm just as happy to try and share some tips and tricks as I would be to receive some lol ;)

How much more do you end up spending with RO? Or how much goes to waste? I've heavily considered it but some sites were telling me I'd end up with 3l of waste water for every litre of RO water. Is it really that bad?
And damn man! The root growth must be crazy in the 30+ litre pots. No wonder your plants look so good! 🤣

I don't ever think about the money side of it.
More than pays for itself. It does waste something like 3ltr for 1.
The Red red is in a 56ltr pot mate.
Massive plants but you can do 39ltr pots and get 20+ ounces a plant

Good point man. Tbh, for the amount more control it gives you with feeding that's not an awful trade off.
God damn man! What's your record per plant? I think mine's only about 8.5 oz

I'm just using LEDs, a 640w philzon and a 1000w. They do the job well but when they break I'm definitely going for a more premium brand like mars hydro or spider farmer. Wbu?

I have 8, Lumatek zeus 2.9 led lights mate. They are pretty much top of the range but lots of much cheaper brands that are really good.
Lumi 750 is a powerhouse led and pretty cheap. I have a couple of them.
1000w Hps?? What reflector??
For Hps I have a Gavita 750 double ended hps. It's the tits but you need a 2.2 high tent for them really.
3500g off four big girls and one smaller plant.

Poor girl, too much weight to carry.
These buds are +2.5 inch wide. They make the fan leafs look small.
My glove fingers were almost wet after a little handling. That's a first for me.

Looks like you hand water?
Are those white things radiators or you lighting lower canopy?
That photo is reminiscent of the old heath Robinson pics but he had 4 x 600w lighting each tree iirc.
Well done bet you will be keeping that in rotation!!!

Yeah 60/40 coco mix.
Hand water yes Sir. These girls were having 6ltr every day with no run off.
All 4 larger plants each broke my personal best.
Under canopy lighting, yes.
Game changer for sure.
Still can't get my head around it tbh
Kilogram one plant and very close with 3 others of a different strain. Plus 12oz off the Cherry
Ill run them again but not now. Fresh strains to replicate the results

Exodus Cheese - Week 4 Teaser
Exodus Cheese - Week 4 Teaser
I wanted to show off how big these tops at week 4 but can't really tell from the photos. Anyways here's a little teaser. Just testing the pheno there's only 1 plant in this cycle so first batch will be small but I have a good feeling about this one ;)
Could I please buy some cheese when it's done there's absolutely none of it on LB atm not even blue cheese I'm sad 😢
First batch should be available end of January so keep an eye on the announcement. It will be small amount in the first run
I can already see stock won't last long so keep an eye for announcement near the end of this month :)

Exodus Cheese, Mimosa x Orange Punch, Gelato Cookies etc
A little late with this update but the new strains been hung up and will be ready soon. I just had to share this photo, that gelato cookies so purple 🤤 can't wait to try them.
First run small batch just to test out which ones worthy to keep.

Smallest you should be using is 22ltr bro.
Get fabric pots too
You'll never get decent results with no roots

Smallest ones for flowering are around 12L and the biggest ones are 20L. There's plenty roots and the tops are heavy leaning down by the end. The new flavours were just a test run to see the bud structure before running more.
The gelato cookies grew in 20L pot, bigger plant, lots of smaller buds not massive tops. Exodus cheese grew in 12L pot have big tops.
Here's a photo of sour diesel heavy top size of a coke bottle.

Do you use anything like Great white powder??
That Gelato cookies in the photo, around 3 ounces dry weight??
I'd give that Sour cookies another 2 weeks in flower. She would plump up more for sure. Do you follow the seeds guidelines for flower length or when you have 30% amber tricombs??
Get yourself some 2ltr fabric pots, plastic are a growers enemy

the sour diesel solid buds 2 more weeks would be overkill the stalks already can't hold the weight, it doesn't come through in the photos how big and heavy they are. I don't know yet the final weight on the new strains
Bud density is not an indicator of maturity dude. I have solid buds at around week 6.
Tricombs and a microscope are the only way.
When the tricombs start turning cloudy, you could chop. Or for a more potent crop, wait till 30% turn amber.
In the extra weeks in late flower you will be amazed by the extra weight gained. If a seed company state 8 weeks flowering, always add at least 10 more days

Yeah that's what I mean at week 6-7 they are so heavy that they lean to the floor so they need support by week 8 they are in the extra 2 weeks, these strains have been grown for nearly a decade and the afghan kush cutting is over 15 years old being a very strong pheno and there are people who religiously buy only that strain.
The new ones are very promising also at least 1 good looking pheno out of 5 seeds, we'll see which ones gonna be the keepers. I got good feelings about that gelato cookies and exodus cheese.

Plants should be staked or netted from about week 3 flower, generally after all the LST is completed
You should start Super cropping and lollypoping next time too bro. Will increase your yealds 100%.
Easy 2 more weeks on that Sour diesel in the photo, you can see they aren't solid yet.
15 years ay. Wowzers

Auto Surprise
Auto Surprise
One of the Gelato Cookies turned out to be an auto...it was in a small pot for it's first month and was too late once we figured it was an auto so ended up with this little bonsai tree.
I think this will be given away once taken down and dried.
Anyone can guess the final weigth?

Ill guess a Q.
Ive done loads of autos, the end result is always the same for me!
Between 7-28g of ludicrously good weed, but, not worth the leccy!

Usually wouldn't run autos but this one turned out to be one so it was just kept next to the others. Should be finished soon looks frosty
Your guess of a Q was the closest. Ping me a private message and I'll send you and 8th of it ;)
Thats really kind of you CC.
I stopped smoking herbs earlier this year, and only vape now.
Could i "donate" it to someone nice who will pledge to put the value into the foodbank container at their local supermarket next time they do their shopping? Would that be OK with you?

I made them into 9 dogwalker cones and will be giving them away for the first orders of the new year so get an order in tomorrow before it's gone
Autos are a great way to learn that 100 days of growing can actually be smoked in 6 hours. It’s cruel but necessary to get you into the ‘12 n 12’ heaven of a 10 oz plant.
The auto scene is radically different than a decade ago. They have them now that finish the same size as photos. I think it was a MAZAR auto I saw.

They don't smoke nice and not very forgiving, I wouldn't recommend anyone to grow autos. This was discovered late when it already started flowering at which point you can't train it anymore but still didn't want to chuck it and lived its life by the side of regular girls.
Little over 7g after removing the stalks. I smoked a little joint of it. Still fresh and flavours nothing special to me, high was nice and relaxing. I'm giving away an 8th to Zapgaz as his guess of a Q was spot on the money :)
I will also make some prerolls from what's left and giving it away for the first few orders of the new year.

only sugar leaf they covered in crystals, I smoked a bit of it could do with a bit more curingn for the taste but smokable and gets you stoned.
It's been trimmed around the buds but not manicured so most sugar leaf left on but tips are trimmed around it. I already made prerolls and gave them away to the first buyers of 2026
Like the optimism :) I'll chop it down next week hopefully be more than 2g xD

Gorilla Cookies shaping up to be some of the best I've done so far!
Gorilla Cookies shaping up to be some of the best I've done so far!
I've made some mistakes in past grows, and I still wouldn't consider myself an absolute pro, but I've fixed any issues I've had with these gorilla cookies before they've really became issues (growing in coco is some learning curve!). They're starting to smell delicious and the one at the back right, which was the runt of the litter in veg, has that true forum cut GSC smell to it and is due to finish first. I can't really give a time estimate as to when a listing will go up, but what I can say is that good things are in the pipeline!
Thank you all for the support on past listings and I hope you're all having a good week in spite of the gloomy weather! 💚

Looking gorgeous Rozzy..interesting you're going with coco I've been researching like mad before I give it a go in the new year, I may bend your ear you've clearly got the knack
Hey, sorry for replying so late, I don't know I missed/didn't reply to previous messages.
Yeah man, coco is a bit of a tricky one to learn compared to soil but absolutely worth it... the results for me have been fantastic when everything's done right. I've made more than a few mistakes I'll be honest, but those are easily avoided with the right knowledge and planning :)
If you ever fancy a chat about coco growing or if you're curious about anything please just send a message, I'm always happy to chat... especially about weed and indoor gardening! I'll never claim to be an expert but I've picked up a thing or 2 over the years
(also I'm using fabric pots, apologies to Lee for somehow missing the reply)

100% mate will definitely touch base when the time comes. Have some work and £ to do, getting my environment right before any moves. Been focusing mainly on run-off tests, EC and PH management tbh as they are new to me having only ever tried soil. I like the idea of full control of the root system and what goes in vs what comes out, and seen very good reviews and journals once you get the right light intensity
Sounds good! Yeah, it's great to be able to control it like hydro but with less risk of flooding the place 🤣 like you say it's just about getting that environment and light intensity dialled in
One of the best things about coco imo is that the plants give you REALLY quick feedback compared to soil... literally within hours of feeding they can start telling you if something's gone a bit wrong. EC, PPM and pH are obviously really important, but coco makes it far easier to learn to "read" the plants

For me. The fabric pots are too flexible and root damage is highly possible in the many feedings/movings.
The added rigidity and direct 3mm holes really are superb.

I'll let the grower answer themselves but can say the felt/fabric pots are highly rated by many a coco gardener

Week 6 Flowering (14/11/25)
Week 6 Flowering (14/11/25)
Two more weeks before chopping them, here's a couple photos of some tops
Yes started around week 4 and it's getting stronger. Fresh weed my favourite smell! :)
Looking at the leaves you got some deficencies there you might want to dial back on your nutes a bit for the next run.
Nar thats because they are already about a week into the final flush mate.
I also let them get real dry every few days so they use up all of their stored nutes in the leafs and root zone.
Most leafs on the plant should be yellow or dead. Then you can be sure the flush is perfect with a decent white ash.
This method has been bullet proof for me and my set up.
What Ec is your water before adding any nutes bro??

It's not mine I don't mix the feed for them but yellow/brown tips suggest nutes burn tho.
How long they have left?
How long they have left?
Yeah true mate.
Any normal grow once the tips burn, pull back on the feed. You also need to push your plants to get the most out of them.
Its not just the tips.
That leaf looks like its using up all stored nutes within it.
Tip burn is a very good inducation that you are giving them enough food for sure. My ppm's struggle to get over 0.8 with 2ml per litre more than the bottle says to feed. And thats with Calmag/Silicon/pk/boost/A+B all added
When i was using tap water my ppm's would be about 1.2-1.6
Tap water starts at about 0.6-0.8
Thats around half of your ppm's used up with the shit thats in the water.
Ro water is very different
About 1.5 weeks left

Yeah depending in what area you are the tap water will be different. I know that our nutes are fine tuned for the local water quality. A proper RO setup removes too many minerals that you would have to add back to the water.
Them nutes sound wicked bro. What's the brand??
What size is your flower room dude??
Love to chat growing and geek out

Sneak Peak - Week 4 Flowering
Sneak Peak - Week 4 Flowering
These girls are so happy, few more weeks to go
I do it all the way through Veg and flower. Try to top the tallest shoots off at least 2 weeks before the switch.
And never do more that 20% of the plants total(would stress)
As a rule I never chop branches off past day 21, while im lollypopping them.
What's your process and guidance Franz??
Anything on at the moment??

Flip day tomorrow!
Flip day tomorrow!
I'm really happy with how these girls are doing so far! The back 3 are blue cheese and the front 3 are bola mintz. Those weren't gonna be the initial choices but having heard good things about bola mintz (and having a lot of nostalgia for cheese) I thought why not! This is the first time I've tried topping and I don't know why I left it this long! They bounced back really well and now with that, a couple of trellis nets and some lollipopping we should really be able to maximise quality. Tomorrow, the fans will get a quick adjustment, 3 plants will be moved to the left side of the 4x8, trellis nets will be in and the lights will get switched to 12/12! It's still gonna be a while before the chop, but when they're REALLY filling the tent I'll come back with more pics!
Big love to all the biggy family, hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Check out these beautiful girls!
Going forward I will be trying to sneak some photos here and there so you can see behind the scenes life of your favourite buds.
Also some new strain's been popped so pheno hunt is on and the first tasters should be ready this xmas/new years. I will be looking for testers of the new strains!
What do you think of this canopy? Do they look gorgeous? I'll add some more pics in the comments.

Beautiful man! Mine are a week or so away from getting flipped but if they end up looking anything like this I'll be happy af! Happy growing! 💚

Northern Lights, day 1!
Northern Lights, day 1!
The next grow has officially began! I figured I'd go for a more oldschool and well renowned strain, and the northern light autos from RQS seemed to fit the bill perfectly. It's only a 4x4 tent so the yield won't be huge (and will take a lil while!), but I'll do everything in my power to make sure the flower is perfect. A lot of lessons have been learned, a lot of time has been spent researching and a lot of time will go into caring for these 3 babies. They're under a 640w full spectrum LED light, in coco coir and will be fed with advanced nutrients until the flush! After this crop, the plan is to get a bigger tent so that I can list multiple strains with even better quality at even lower prices, and on a much more consistent basis! For now though, let's bloody grow! I wish all biggas a good day, week and month, and if any experienced growers have any little tips/tricks to improve, I'd love to hear them! 🙂
Happy growing mate. I love using these foam ties, they are cheap and make 'low stress training' really easy. I usually trim the foam to pin the stems down with them early on and then use them as spreader bars between stems later in the grow to keep airflow between buds.
Good luck mate 👍

Thank you! I'm definitely gonna do a bit of LST on these and wasn't sure how to go about it so that's a huge help :)
I really appreciate that man!

Hey boss,
I just want to drop my 2p here as I have grown this exact auto strain from RQS. If you take my advise you should swap this out to a better strain before you put too much effort into it, just to be let down by the results at end like I was.
Autos have much less potential for yield and I ran several auto strains when I started out growing none of which tasted up to today's standards.
I would advise against growing from seed as a beginner because they are a hit and miss. If you heard the term pheno hunting before it refers to growing a number of plants of the same strain from seeds and taking cuttings labelling them and at the end of the grow they choose the best pheno to keep and clone for consistent good quality.
If you insist on keeping the autos I would suggest you start low stress training as soon as you can because time is limited with them.
Once it starts to get bigger strip down all the lower sites so the plant will put all her energy into the tops, this way I got nice looking results but I was always dissapointed with how they smoke. Once I got hold of some fire cuttings my whole game changed for the best :)
Either ways best of luck and feel free to reach out if need any help with growing.

Thanks for the advice and the kind words man! They seem to be doing pretty well so far so I'm gonna keep them going, I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate some more oldschool genetics and if the bud isn't up to par it'll be priced accordingly. The plants aren't quite in flower yet but they're really healthy and seem to be adapting well to the environment so I'm just interested to see where they can go. Next run will probably involve a pheno hunt so I'm a lot more excited for that!
If you're into old school genetics , check out The Real Seed Company . They do all sorts of land race from around the world and a few Western classics too . Iv'e grown a couple .The best so far was the Afghan90. The flowers were lighter and leafier than modern varieties , but the skunkyness really lingered in an old school kinda way .
There's no question they will adopt and flower with nice looking buds like all autoflowers. Try to run a non auto of the same strain and see the difference in flavour and effects.
Autos are like a watered down versions of the original strains having the ruderails genetics added to them to make their life cycle fixed.
You will be shocked how much more you can get out of "normal" plants with your setup. :)

Yeah, I get you there, but in all fairness I've had better results from autos than photos so far. It could just be that I've only been growing a year though. The mangos from the last crop were photos and I think down to my own mistake they started flowering too early and didn't get very tall. The bud is pretty nice but honestly not the best I've grown. The best I've done so far has been an auto (choc orange by dr krippling) and honestly it was up there with the best I've had in my life! But the next run will definitely be photos just so I can pheno hunt and get some consistency going. Growing from seed in general has been a bit hit and miss so far
It is for sure a bit of a hit and miss and also some seedbanks are better than others. I wasn't much impressed with RQS but had few from the US with exeptional results.
With regulars you get more control and can veg one plant to fill up your space before flipping to flower. Cleaning the lower sites that get small to no light will give you better tops in both cases tho.

This is them at 22 days from sprout and they seem to be loving life! No signs of any flowering or any major stretch yet so that's a positive sign! It means they can get a lil bit more height before the actual stretch and hopefully fill the canopy up
All looking healthy there mate, are you just letting them go straight up or have you got any other plans for them?
I'm just gonna let them go straight up, tuck some leaves so the branches/nodes can get good light and separate the bud sites with a trellis net before any buds actually grow. Also gonna cut the really low down branches that'd grow crappy buds. The plan was to do some LST and use the trellis net early on but I figured I'll let them do their thing and get some height before I mess with them too much 😅
At that size I would be tempted to nip out the tips and aim for a more even canopy.
If you do decide to top autos then never cut them just gently part the top and knock the tip out with your fingers, if you do it right the plant won't notice anything has happened and they will bush out big time, losing the main kola gives you the benefit of being able to get the light closer to the canopy.
Whatever you decide to do keep us posted they are looking happy and healthy 👍

Good luck! I've heard you can grow NL outside in the southern parts of the UK. Anyone else heard such rumours?
All plants will grow in the uk during the right time of the year.
Gorilla grows using autos can do 2 crops a season, 3 if they are under cover and get good sun
Gorilla grows using autos can do 2 crops a season, 3 if they are under cover and get good sun
I've heard similar rumours about some oldschool strains, I don't think NL specifically but there's a lot of strains that people say do really well in the UK climate... I grew a solo strawbnana plant outdoors in 2022 and was genuinely shocked at how well it did
I really appreciate the advice but autos just seem to get out of control for me! I think it may be something to do with being in coco and also maybe because I keep feeding veg nutes during early stretch (until bud sites are really forming), OR possibly because I've been lucky with genetics, but I tried running 5 autos in there before and sadly had to kill 2 of them due to sheer size. This pic is the canopy with 3 grapefruit autos in it (grow before last) and that wasn't even the buds at full size!

Good things are coming soon!
Good things are coming soon!
Good morning, afternoon or evening biggas! It's been a while, but for good reason. For any of you who saw/remember the thread about the Northern Light Auto grow, this is where the babies are at now! They should be getting chopped in the next 2-3 weeks and be ready to list around mid December. These are 2 of the 3 plants, the first one came down about a week ago because she was pretty small and finished REALLY early. There's a lot of airy nugs on her though, so a lot of that plant will go towards making capsules (more on those in the coming weeks). These last two are smelling amazing and have some lovely trichome formation on them. Every penny made from this grow will go towards a bigger tent and hopefully some Rozzy exclusive strains via clones within the next few months! As always, I hope you're all doing well and I cannot wait to get back to LB! Big love to all! 💚

Obviously I'm tripping I don't even know where to write this, but oh my fucking God polly, I honestly, honestly love you, and I'm actually nearly crying about it! 🤯🎉😂😂😂♥️♥️♥️
Also, I love you The Spacemen, oh my god...I love you!! Haha but i really do

Awwwwwwww Fifi ❤️❤️❤️❤️……there is genuinely nobody else like you on LB- Please stay with us🙏🏽….and post MORE OFTEN 😘🥰😘
Oh my God! 😵 thank you SO much Polly!
Well, definitely not tripping now, and still think the same :))) And here is a super, SUPER special thing for you, with 'Puff', in it :))) .... ( but not because I'm hoping you'll lay puffer fish eggs for me, haha, don't worry, but just because - girl, boy, fraggle or sandperson, I don't know, but you're super special :)))

I don't think I'm going anywhere anytime soon, haha. To quote you, Big Roo, ( big up ☺️ ), I read this on your manifesto thing -"I love this place, it feels like home" - Really resonated with me. Bit cringe-ely up close and personal, but I'm going to say it anyway - I had parents who couldn't accept that their child had learning difficulties, and moved me from school to school to school during primary /middle school. All this did was make me feel that I didn't fit in or belong anywhere, and as is often the case with stuff that happens during such formative years, these belief systems tend to become hardwired as the blueprint for how the rest of your years will pan out. I've Always struggled with feeling like the perpetual outsider, but not here :))) even on other forums I've been on, say, about my pets, I'd go on them for a few months, and as soon as someone was mean or critical I'd peg it. But on here I have actually been called ridiculous, fake, desperate, attention seeking and honestly I think most of those things are probably true, but when I've come on here, out of my tree tripping my face off and bang on about how much I love this place and my friends here, I totally mean it, and the 'fake', bit definitely isn't true :) And normally hearing stuff like that I'd be gone , lickety - split, but because I know so much that I have some seriously good, REAL friends here, it's not so hard to weather the horrible stuff :))) and I love it here, even though I'm very aware that this place is definitely not all sweetness and light, and let's face it, a place that you really do need to be super cautious in, I've made friends for the first time in a long time, and I love it so much. And thank you Polly for being a big part of why LB feels like a soft spot to land for me :))) °•♡•°🌷🌷🌷

Wow...that little fish digs 24 hours a day for a week to build the "most complex and perfect" construction in nature and all for love huh?.....gotta love da puff! lol!
I do know what you mean about LB. Stay here long enough and you pick up all kinds of flack- I've had the weirdest of threats and hate over the years but its a tight little community who contribute and really watch out for each other. The haters simply don't win. We do...
I'm so glad you've stayed with us (heart heart heart- no emojis on this keyboard lol) xxxxx

Who doesn't adore Polly, even if they just scratch their surface. That's 100% not a question, hence the lack of question mark.
I feel Polly needs to trip more to feel the universal love for themselves though...

Its crazy...I've got the Psychonaut gear in the fridge - its been there for months. They've talked me through it and we all know what experts they are, B0W13 said he'd trip with me, Ruxxy cajoles/encourages me all the time...and yet still I haven't tried it. One bad trip on a blotter when I was a kid has ruined me lol....but there's still time...ooooooh....
The true story of the Rabb1t and fox explains how life can be better when we make friends.
Friends make our lives happier in many ways. Also, showing mercy and sympathy will make a person's heart much bigger.
Ah fuck wrong fox and Rabb1t is spelt wrong 😑

I love this, a beautiful random act of positivity from you FJ and it's well deserved too, in fact you're both right up there with the goodest of eggs as far as I can tell💜💚
Love you bud!! Thank you for being my friend 💛💛💛
And here's a line from that song I just posted, just for you - as a nod to your love for nature, and your green fingered prowess -

Hi Fifi
You are the kindest soul on LB.
What you are actually doing is what Buddhist call Metta meditation - loving-kindness meditation and you sure will get lots of good karma for it.
Stay Blessed

Oh my God TWDuke!! 😭💛💛💛
Thank you!
Do you remember last year, a vendor did some competition, and to enter you had to tell everyone who your favourite bigga was?? Well I put Psychonauts and Polly, but ever since I have ALWAYS thought to myself- man! I wish I'd put TWDuke aswell. You are the epitome of class, soul and verve, always served with a good dollop of mega clever,
helpfulness :)))
I love what you said about the Buddhist meditation :) 💛💛💛

Ah Fifi
I'm merely sharing some of the things I've learned with others, people have been very hepful since I've joined LB so if I can help anyone else in any kind of way.
Glad to hear that I've been helpful!
Thank you very much but I don't know if I deserve to be put up there next to Psychonauts (Deity status) or Pollypuff (Hero Status) 🦸♂️
Allow me to return the compliment by quoting Debby Harry "I am always touched by your presence dear" 🙏

Wow! Goes straight into the "best compliments of all time", top 5!!!! Thank you TWDuke! 😃🫠🦄💕
best place to symp is lb dedications but you'll have to pick a song to match your love
Thank you 😊, I was pretty far gone when I posted that, and didn't know where to put it.
So I'm just going to let rip on some kind of sick making drivel, but it is sincere, if naff AF, haha.
I DID pick a song to demonstrate my love, admiralBishop- and it's this -
https://youtu.be/iq_WkGHuuX0?si=2xD6-9XG1qEwmLIi
I think Polly is the embodiment of the lines" You give a little love and it all comes back to you,
you're gonna be remembered for the things that you say and do"
And this is going to sound supremely arse kissy, but I don't care, it's what I really think - If aliens came down right, and hijacked LB, and said, "take us to your leader", haha, who among us wouldn't point them in Pollys direction :)
And I think that this is irrefutable evidence, to say that, at least on this site, that hate and horribleness has tried its best to bring down, kindness and decency wins, because that's how Polly rolls, isn't it :)))
So that line's for Polly, and this one's for all the many, many "👐GOOD GUYS!👐", on LB that I think, definitely outweigh the meanies:)))
"It's been decided,
We're weaker divided,
Let friendship double up our powers" 😍😍😍
Everything else aside, I honestly think that if you watch/ listen to this till the end, and don't feel at least a little bit happier, you're already dead, haha

Now THAT was a blast from the past! (how do you find these things?!)- and yeah a great big grin on my face!
Its so true though- even on a site that somehow attracts some truly dodgy AF folk, the positivos rule. Just look at how much positivity and love you have generated from starting this one post- I mean wow!
I have a couple of LB T-shirts with the original logo/slogan that reads "humanity reaches adulthood" which was the kind of hippy ideal that must have got this place started all those years ago.
Long Live LB and you FJ!- xxxxx

3rd attempt Growing advice
3rd attempt Growing advice
Recommendations for cheap grow tent/compete set up ,I recently got a ts3000 450watt from Mars hydro, I’ve tried to grow a few times but It seem to end up with mold in late flower so I was thinking of some kind of air exhaust/carbon filter also too regulate the humidity?
There is no such thing as a cheap set up mate.
Buy cheap buy twice!!
There is an awfull lot more to growing than throwing a light over them in a cheap tent!
An extraction set up is manditory really,for numerous reasons...First and foremost is to make the whole grow odourless to the outside world!! Secondary is to keep the relative humidity below 50% in late flower to avoid your beloved crop turning to grey mold before your eyes.
I suggest joining a forum and posting your grow up.uk 420 maybe? Lots of experienced growers on there will help you have a successfull harvest.

Have you got any recommendations for an exhaust system for a 5x5? I’m going to check out that website after I’m home for work thanks !
What else do you have e in your grow kit?
You got a meter that measures temp and humidity. I’d hazard a guess this is the issue.
You can grow without and exhaust fan, I had several crops fine but as stated will stink without a carbon filter, mainly in flowering near end tbh.
However with a fresh air intake at bottom of tent and hot exhaust extraction at top you will get better results.
You can couple the exhaust fan to a temp controller too, I found this would help regulate at night in cold winters.
I managed to sort a whole carbon exhaust and smaller intake with fans and tubing for under 100 quid.
Make sure you got a little circulation fan in tent too, plants will love you for that addition

That’s all I kinda just winged the first 3 times but this time I got a decent light and tent so wanted to know what else to buy to make it all go perfect this time 🤷♂️, yeah my problem was definitely humidity and heat. Luckily for me smell isn’t really a issue I’ve found so far
Smell not an issue in terms of Random’s smelling or your skunk ain’t hit that overwhelming stench 😂
Avoid all in one deals, usually can get cheaper.
Amazon delivered most my stuff including soil lol a bit bait I know but did for years 😂
If growing in soil get ph meter you stick in, can get ones that switch between a few things including ph and wetness - 10 quid or so
Humidity meter / temp - 5 quid
Cheap tent - varies on brand and size - I’d go biggest you can first rather than neeeding to upgrade when you grow monsters lol
clip on fan for inside tent to circulate air (one that can oscillate) 10-30 quid
Key things you need to manage are:
Temps / humidity
Water
Air
Temps - can’t stress this enough!!! Dropping a couple of degrees is fine at night but big spikes will stress you babies
I believe leds ain’t as hot as I used to run hps.
The ONLY reason I had extractors was to manage temp via controller AND smell when peak flowering!!!!
You can get away with opening flaps and fan inside but I’d crack a window for some fresh oxygen.
You can go deep into more automation, nutrients and all that shit later mate.

No ones mentioned pot choice. It does matter.
I used Airpots-⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
But messy to water with,but because they have holes in,you can get air to those roots—-I completely by accident ended up blasting the roots with winter uk temps (jan/feb) and the results we’re spectacular.
If I remember right I got 30 oz from a single 600w bulb.!!
Ak48-will never forget.
Good luck

Environment is Number one.
Get yourself a hygrometer with min and max facility on it and you'll know what is happening in the tent when you're not around.
With LED's you want about 27c lights on, and no lower than 22 with the lights off. While they are still Vegging, humidity should be around 70% but when in flower you should be aiming for 50%. Probably a tenner from amazon.
You need an extractor fan, probably about a 150mm for a small tent, but this needs to be wired into a fan controller such as an SMS, which will regulate the fan speed depending on what temp is in your tent. When it gets hot, the fan speeds up, and when the desired temp ir reached, it turns itself back down to the minimum. One end of the fan should have a carbon filter on it to hide the smell as best it can and the other end should be vented out of the tent. Not only does this control temps but it also draws in fresh CO2 which is essential to growth.
Next you need a heater of some kind for when the light is off or its particularly cold. Oil filled rads work best. Again, you need a controller for the heater to turn itself off and on as required. G.A.S make a pretty good heater controller for about 50 quid.
These are the most important steps. You could have the best cuttings or seeds in the world, but if your environment is not right, they'll still come out shit.

Hey 5x5 tent , 3-5 auto flowers I have seeds though not cutting, I’m growing the top back of my house
All good advice above...
If you don't get your environment right...you will always struggle...air flow and extraction are a must imo!
Good luck!

If you’ve built a pc, try emulate a tower that has bottom / front intakes - exhaust out your top and back.
If really wanting good intakes - get smaller in-line fan and flexi trunking and seal this to window.
In winter i used to run my spent exhaust gas through the door on the room and into the house.
Saved on heating through winter 😂
Also remember air flow drops drastically with frequency of turns and harsh bends!!!

You can try with a carbon filter but I wouldn't bother, never found one that works. But yes you do need suck all that hot air out of the tent - not push - put the exhaust fan at the exit point within the tent and the other end attach to your light fitting - get a cool tube. And get the most powerful fan you can because you want a powerful suck so that the walls of the tent get sucked inwards, like the opposite of a bouncy castle - this creates the perfect grow environment as well as a few side effects such as killing bugs, they can't live in a negative pressure which is what inside your tent will be if you have the walls going inwards and you shouldn't get any mould. BUT... you still need to move the air around inside the tent and have good air flow over your crop - this will help strengthen the branches and also eliminate mould, end of. To do this get 2 oscillating desk fans and 2 bits of 50cm long bit of timber - turn the fans upside down and unscrew the bottom, screw that to the bit of timber then screw the bottom with the timber attached back on to the fan. Then screw a hole at each end of the timber and get some wire - each fan will be in opposite corners upside down with the wire tied to the top poles of the tent, get them right back in the corner and on oscillate - now buy a timer and plug them both in, put the timer on random times eg 1 hour on, 15mins off, 30mins on, 45mins off, 15 mins on etc for the full 24 hours. This will give you max yields for all the reasons I have mentioned and more. Best of luck.
Cool tube? What's is this 2001?
Man said he's using a mars so that's gonna be a LED panel.
If a carbon filter not working for you, you're defo doing something wrong.
I've run in both push and pull configs and always managed to get a good seal.
If you've got neighbours of any sort then you need a filter.
Otherwise good advice about keeping the air flowing.
I used to use oscillating fans inside the tent plus the extraction set up.

look at deals on londongrow brother always got full kit deals...
If you just need better Air flow try and get a inline extraction 300m3hr
Just out of interest your obviously not using any form of humidifier in flower? or folliar feeding? XpeaceX

You just need to replenish air, personally in a 5x5 I would use a 8inch extractor on a speed controller, that way you're covered if humidity spikes in flower. A 6inch should do it tho. intake is kinda optional I guess if your on a budget. defo leave vents open tho if not using a intake.
keep RH below 60% in flower and you should avoid mold. You will need the give your grow area and room a very good clean since you have had mold before. You should also see a huge improvement in yield since they would have been starved for co2 on your previous attempts.

Use airpots,and utilise the hundreds of holes in the design to blast colder air at the roots inside.
I did exactly that during a winter grow that finished on feb 13th- air was freezing !! Biggest crop I ever got from one 600w bulb 30 odd ozs.
Best of luck.

If mild is your main issue then you’re not moving enough air out.
This is paramount to keeping the moisture under the required amount.
Get a built in sensor that you can monitor with.
Maybe don’t water til run off when plants get bigger? Just add a bit at a time?
You need a good exhaust system (air out) and your game will change,I’m sure of it.
You won’t have to spend more than £70 for a brilliant extraction unit. And don’t forget about the ‘last line of defence’——the inline ozone attached to that exhaust. ABSOLUTE zero smell leaving your gaff. This is the most important purchase my friend.
Definitely join the forums,
So much advise there.

Number one piece of advice before seeds, tents, lights, extractors, nutes:
Get a decent air intake ie. cool, fresh air being drawn in from outside. You'll need to drill / bore a hole. Drill 2 holes, side by side and extract your air from the other. The cool air intake should preferably lay close to the floor so that it circulates around and then upwards. Invest in an adjustable fan - that way you can keep temps within the ideal range, even with hot lamps.

I’ve only grown once, as much to see if I could do it as anything else (cost/effort wise, it’s debatable how much benefit you ultimately get with a small grow, but I enjoyed it). As others have said, air flow and temperature were key things for me. And you also mentioned the smell not being an issue. This is interesting, because—done right—it’s going to smell *really* strong. So that filter is a must. I used a Black Orchid (100 mm) extractor fan and a 4inch filter made by a company called Ram. And make sure you’re taking care of them when they’re getting started (I read up on topping and pruning, and it really helped to establish sturdy/healthy plants). Good luck!
I would say also research different strains. Some are more resistant to mold than others.
I used to grow auto flowers and found the ones with a short flowering time like the F1 were far more susceptible to mold.

Couldn’t agree more with everyone! They need to be taken care of like babies ;) Fresh air is difficult especially in winter and humidity when we use heating and all the rain has definitely made us seen a difference and we had to exercise more control. There’s some really top dehumidifiers out there bud but as everyone said spend the money and you won’t regret it as the yield will pay it all off in no time
Have you you got any equipment you could recommend ? This all sound like so much effort but I really need to I spend over 1k a month on weed 😂 just wish I lived somewhere I could just plant and leave it to grow 🥲🥲

Advice for Growing
Hi LB buddy . I plan to grow an autoflower outdoor of my balcony for this summer and think about organic grow .I have few question hope you all can help me out .
1 - Which brand of soil for organic grow ( ? how long it last until I need to add nutrient
2 - What organic nutrient brand should I use ( simple to use is good idea ) or add nutrient by nature way like ( eggshelf , banana skin ec. )
3 - my plant will get about 7 hours sunlight and the rest under 100w mar hydro light ts600 I tend to go for 20/4 light cycle .
Thanks you so much for any other advice . Love you all

UK420 (linked above) is a good forum for information so get yourself signed up and ask the guys on there.
I'd help but I don't grow in soil nor on a balcony!
Good luck🍀
Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

Hi Buddy
- BioBizz has a decent line of organic products, including a ready to use organic soil. The nutrient bottles come with the feeding schedule on the bottles, but I'm sure you can find this on their website too if you wanted to know before hand. Follow their directions and you should be good. You'll need to read the signals your plant is giving off too, and add nutrients from there. There's alot of help and charts online to identify different issues if you run into them.
If you wanted to use dry amendments instead of organic liquid nutrients, check out "Living soils UK" on eBay, they sell bundles with everything you need - minus the soil. No matter what you go with, make sure to use worm castings in your base mix , they are phenomenal for the health and eco system in your living soil. Make sure to use water that is filtered and has 0 chlorine
- I'm only guessing here, but wouldn't moving your plant to different environments every day stress it out? Would it be best just always leaving it under the lamp, or always outside?

Yeah I think about that way may stress the plant , I may have to go 7hours under sunlight but affair that won’t produce anything . I don’t have a setup inside on the light and a small store room .
Agree with the bio bizz, grow and bloom will do an auto flower. Most soils will provide the plant enough nourishment for two weeks. Tropic Mix is good.
Autoflowers require less nutrients than photoperiods and will actually get stressed if you overfeed and overwater. Most bottle nutrients dosage schedules are for photoperiods. You should start feeding an auto at the 2-3 week mark and start with an 1/8th of the recommend nutrients, moving up to a 1/4 and then 1/2 once its well established and in flowering.

hello mate
Buy small tent and forget about balcony. You got nice light already so just buy small tent put light in and you good to go really. I personally will put two plant under that 100w light in 7l pots.
For nutrient try something simple like boys said biobizz might be ok for first grow or canna A+B.

I agree with the boys here!
Biobizz is great! you can get their soils from amazon!
You will not need much in the way of nute's bud! If you up-pot correctly
germinate in a puck,
when shes got 4 leaves plant the puck straight into a small pot filled lightly with biobizz-light.
when she's on 4nodes up-pot to a 1lt pot still using biobizz light!
wait until 6th node nip it manifold it whatever!
leave a week until recovered!
uppot again 5/10 ltr this time use biobizz all!
2 weeks later uppot into final pot size using biobizz all!
when repotting never show the roots to the light and always sprinkle mycorrhizae (homebase£5) over the root ball and pop a bit in the new pot hole!
At this point if this an auto Its probably showing signs of flowering!
and you still havent used any added nutes!
Flip it, leave for a week then start to add biobizz bloom 1ml a ltr to start!
Keep adjusting this after 2 feeds to recomended dose.
do this for 4-5 weeks then just water with ph'ed water 6.5
I also use (in my water) a water dechloriniser called neutralise(1drop per ltr)
I would also recommend vitalink nutes also available from amazon.
Got to add....I always add silica(vitalink silicon max 1ml per Ltr) to the water for strong windy outdoor conditions as this gives remarkable strength to stems.
and calmag if any problems occur?
Also if you want to cheap out homebargains do sell bone meal, fish and guts fert and a 5/5/5 all purpose fertiliser that does the job!
Hope this helps XpeaceX

I threw some old seeds in my terrarium …
Give it a few weeks then top it, before it gets to big for your terrarium, keep it tidy, let it bush out a bit before flipping to flower
Pretty sure they were photo. They came from my first/only grow a few years back. Which I found in a bag of weed. Which could have been any number of strains (my memory isn’t what it was).
It kind of all depends on what setup you have and on what you want to achieve if you don't have a grow room and want to keep it in the terrarium you should check out the bonsai plants videos on you tube because it could get big if you dont control it also it could end up being a male. I got some seeds from some free shake I got, and they have turned out to be autos
Bonsai weed is a thing?! I’ll definitely take a look at that. Prob won’t try and grow again. I had fun growing, but it was a bit of a pain in the ass, too. (Stressing about the grow, and the smell etc.)

minimum viable grow?
minimum viable grow?
i really like the idea of a tiny high quality grow for me and my mates, like a windowsill. whats the bonzai approach?
Personally I’d get a lil tent for 1 plant.
Look up low stress training and scrog.
If done carefully you can get a fat yielding solo baby.
Be warned, when I grew this how I started. Next a bigger tent, then I converted half the pc room to a 4 plant rotation and then you’ll dread cutting day 😂

I have a small greenhouse in the balcony, for three auto at a time, I grow them naturally, where I live is not considered illegal to grow if you do not use expert techniques and are three at most.
three shifts from April to November with an average yield of 30/40g each plant.
I know it’s little but the cost is minimal, effort is zero, risk is zero and the result is good. tops are no dense and a little light in high obviously but I mean..it’s all free from my balcony 😎

Nah Thats decent mate!
Is that dried weight too!!! Well pleased with that I’d be and legal you say.
They need to sort that shit out in uk. Like 2-4 plants or something.
They will get enough from our leccy bills lol

Indica strain grow smaller. Minimum size for a closet with one 400watts hps should be 1x1 mt . If this is already to big for your project ... Autos in balcony (totally agree) . PC box is cute but might be disappointing if you harvest 10g after 10 weeks
Have a good week,GH

If you have limited space indica dominant strains will be much butter choice than sativas. Indica strains dont stretch as much as sativas when you flip them in flower, but they are not as vigorous in veg so they need week extra in veg.
Pc box in my opinion it is a waste of time, its not worth to wait over 10 weeks and harvest just few grams. Little tent will be much more efficient.

Are autos any good in just daylight?
I had mad success with them under cfl then hps but always wondered

Yes they responded well just to day light (in the summer). Something to consider is the number of hours of sun exposure they get.
Scrog is an amazing technique considering space and g harvested .
For a small space like asked, check also some pruning techniques like topping or fim.
Hope it helps your project and keep us update 🌱😎

Gotcha, I remember my first plant 10g dried harvest 😭
By the end I could get 2-6 oz dried from an auto .
Low stress training when saplings, topped and scrog 🥳🥳🥳

You can convert a bedside cabinet easily into a wee grow box. Grow auto flowers in tiny pots.
Check out Stunted art on IG.
You won’t get a big yield but it will be fun.

In Thailand I grew in a 1m x 1m tent with a 200w led. Doesnt matter how many plants, you get the same 150-200g. I used a really cheap drip system in perlite.
I have never encountered the scary spider mite, clap a few of those small flys if they're about. But mate a huge infestation among the roots is...not worth thinking about 🐧. Be cool to have a nice spider web across a branch or two - don't worry i'm not a vendor
Plant vitality+
One spray and bye bye spidermites
I tried everything for many many grows after some lazy clone shipper sent me infected cheese cut...I was unaware of the little monsters before then...
Anyway...again,plant vitality plus in a little silver bottle

might have to try this!! Ive had to throw a whole grow before as the bud was covered in the little fookers! Would growing in coco rather than soil help?? Ive only ever done soil but very tempted to try coco !!
Best preventative and very cheap is neem oil sprayed weekly 5-10ml per litre with a wetting agent or washing up liquid.
Can be spayed Every 2-3 days of infested.
Can also be put in the water for systemic action which lasts a month
Dr schimmel terminator is good for heavy infestations
also diotemacious earth on the soil surface they don't like which also stops fungus gnats
Also uvb lights they don't like
Also dragonfli website sells predator bugs for preventative or severe
