Also i read the biobizz all mix is too toxic for seedlings and that you don't plant them in the final pot.

Lemme tell you a thing:

It's bs

Hi everyone, an oldie from the UK, retired 2 years ago and now able to do a bit of growing, well try lol!
OK
grow room 6 x 6
lights, given to us, led with red & blue 720 watts
Spider farm filter
Fan
Humidifier
BioBizz light mix soil
BioBizz bio groom, top max and bio bloom
plants - no idea.
So as me and my OH never been involved with any kind of gardening, we have seeds that have been given to us, a long time ago lol, years! Anyway long story short 4 seeds took that we found in a container with the BigBuddhaCheese leaflet feminised seeds? I didn't want to buy seeds yet until I thought we have any chance of growing. So here we are, but one plant is not the same as the other 3 so who knows what they are lol!
The first plant we nearly lost at seedling but it came back, however it is small, 8 weeks. The second plant is 6 weeks and plants 3/4 5 weeks.
Not really sure what I am doing, follow here and the web generally, but beginning to feel a bit more confident and looking at autos to grow. This is all personal use for me and OH. Any suggestions welcome!

Wow looks great Drew! I just realised you are in the UK, good to know someone who speaks the same language 😆 Not easy in the UK is it? I am lucky to live semi rural and not overlooked and have areas to grow. Now a pensioner I have time, but not the money to pay out every week to dealers for what these days is a load of crap! Always hated the idea of gardening, but strangely enough I find I am quite enjoying this, started bird watching too, bit worrying lol! Anyway I have decided to keep the 2 so far good plants, and put them back in a veg state. I want to get going with 6 auto's so will leave these a few days to see what happens. Not sure if this is the right thing to do, but it seems a shame to just chuck them.

No, not easy at all…. I’m also semi rural, I have a tent tucked away in a spare corner 🤫. I’ve surprised myself by how much I’m enjoying watching them grow ! I’m hoping the two I’ve got will be dried and cured by end of my 🤞Planning to start another two straight away. Are you planning to grow outdoors ?

That’s not true it is bs
I use bio bizz soil and it’s not toxic at all. Think bad growers blame thier equipment when they was overwatering
It’s so gentle it’s hard to fess up

I rocked 16 plants so far, all female as advertised. Had to throw one to the trash because of bud rot, the rest were a good sport, ehh, smoke

There’s a difference between regular & fem
Regular plants are not feminised & you will get males from a pkt of regular seeds

I like watching them too! I sit in the unit and find it really quiet and calm, some strange things are happening to me lol! The unit being a cat unit, I ran my own cat rescue for a number of years, we dismantled the units except for one, to use as a grow room. You know, I haven't thought about outside growing, I threw the 2 plants over an area facing the fields and full on south! You got me thinking... I do live on an island in the south, warmest in the UK 🙂 I hope your grow goes well for you, can't see why not? I will be following you with all 🤞

I'm really glad there's another lady grower and sure hope you stick around for when we all try outdoor this summer. Is your summer coming to an end now? I'm in Oregon so it's just now spring but it's cold and rainy in my area. I don't set my MJ out till mid June cause that's when daylight gets over 13hrs and i feel safe that they won't go into flower too early and then reveg as the daylight length increases cause i hate that LOL. That pic was in Aug. of last year. Those got 6ft and under i grew them in 15gal pots. They got very hot watered 2xday and had to drag them under a large maple tree for shade.

I thought I would pop my head back in, it's been a while and its been an active time. After all this, started another grow with auto's, got near the finish line and the same happened! Long story short, I made many mistakes, including light leak problems which is now sorted, I have a blackout porch! Started a third grow with photoperiods, 3 cherry poppers and a purple lemonade. Once again all looked good, but stunted growth. As I was watering them I noticed the lights dimmer. those 2nd hand lights were 2nd hand for a reason lol! Bought new lights, Migro Array, shocked how bright they are, got to the finish line. Buds looked good but the smell or taste wasn't there. Did have drying problems to get RH/temps right but overall not too bad but the dreaded hay smell arrived! Got 5 ounces, did nothing for me, although a friend got stoned!
On top of this Cancer reared it's head again, ongoing, I knock it down like skittles lol! For now! Anyway ready to go again, sorted out the grow room, just deciding on photoperiod seeds, hard decision because I was given 55 auto seeds, all packaged, a chap I know who lived in Bulgaria and grew over there, not successfully, gave me his seeds, said he will never grow again! These are Dutch passion, Fastbuds, Barneys Farm etc. purchased in 2019. But I want to grow Photos. Will keep you posted, here is a couple of pics of the last grow. I will post up once I get started, will be in the next week!
