Well hello any1 who followed my last grow will hav read about my misfortunes and know that the Police took my last grow and all my stuff Iv got a box left here i originally planned to grow a Mother in so iv shipped it to a secret location . its kitted out with intake and exhaust fans and ther was a 125 watt cfl in ther but the police took the bulb. Moneys a bit low for the next week or two, so im guna get myself to CPC an get 4 lamp fittings and 4 30 watt CFLs, 2 of each spectrum and it comes to less than £15 (rather than £30 for a big cfl) That then should give me a fully functional grow box . Iv got 3 seeds for these good lookin girls http://www.pickandmixseeds.co.uk/products/cali-connection-chem4-og Im guna germ 1 in the next day or two and crack on. Its not at my house like the last 1 so im not worried about the police finding this grow. Feel free to tag along, offer advice or ask questions, if i get the same followers on this grow as my last then no question will be left unanswered. Thanks all
I sure hope so . Ano it myt sound a bit "dodgy" but moneys a bit tight this time so is there a cheap way to grow organic? I really wanna try organics cause every1 says about the difference in the end product and thats what i want, quality

I really wanna try organics cause every1 says about the difference in the end product and thats what i want, quality [/quote] It's really not expensive at all. I use a bag of foxfarm ocean Forrest. The soil has enough amendments in it to last for veg. You'll just need some bloom booster( higher phosphorus and pottash) for flower. The cheapest route i can think of would be FOxfarm soil+ a little guano topdress In flower with maybe some Compost tea. All my Soil, guanos cost around $30 us and it last me atleast 2 harvest. And with organics you can reuse your soil if you just add a tea to it to activate more microbes

Guano i have my head around an the teas (not sure bout sourcing the ingredients or actually making them but i know what they do. I get lost when you talk about microbes lol
I haven't used it personally so I can't speak for it, but it SEEMS legit to use. eBay has foxfarms and they ship anywhere If you amend your soil with enough bio-diversity than you can go your entire grow cycle using just water

[quote name='"automan142"']Is worm castings sumthin you add to the soil?[/quote] Castings are the BEST thing you could add to your soil, they're full of life and your plants will love it
[quote name='"percul8r615"'] Castings are the BEST thing you could add to you grow aside from an hps[/quote] So fax farms ocean forest, some worm castings and some guano is a good start to an organic grow? Edit : and some perlite?
Iv never gone from seed b4 so thts a bit more research to do tonight. Got the bits for the box so theres that to do too, busy boy tonight me
Both stores hav advised me i wont get tht fox farms over here as theyre not allowed to send it internationally so i may have to go with the bio-bizz all mix. Av copy and pasted this from a page about it It contains an effective blend of soil (20%), compost (35%), worm castings (10%) and Perlite (30%) as well as a special 'pre-mix' (5%) of biologically active organic ingredients that have been fermented for a month to create a potent mixture. We recommend using Bio-Bizz All-Mix during growth and flowering. Is this ok? and for the flowering stage is 2 - 15 - 1 bloom grade bat guano the right thing for me to get? Dunno wat the numbers mean lol
Sounds like you've been busy researching. Lol yea that bio bizz sounds like it should work. Guano, castings, perlite are your best friends brotatoe

A forum iv read about bio-bizz all mix says to add a little extra perlite so should i add a little more castings while im mixing?

70% bio-bizz 20% extra castings 10% extra perlite 2 - 15 - 1 bat guano to add to the top during bloom. Is ther anythin else cheap i can get to help. Is mollases involved sumwer? Sumthin like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACKSTRA...ty_Other_RL&hash=item3eff47d280#ht_2087wt_689
Yea add 2 tablespoons mollasses per gallon every watering. It feeds the microbes (there's that word again lol) in your soil. Just make sure it's unsulphured, it should say on the package
