Hi From The UK

[MidgeSmith]

Hey, hope everyone is going along well. I'm a small scale UK grower for personal use, medicinal and recreational purposes. I've been growing on and off (mostly off unfortunately) for 27 years.

I've just finished a crop of Skunk #1, Cheddar #1 and Chemdog. Before that - in reverse chronological order, it was Sour Diesel Auto, Chocolate Mint OG Auto, Royal Dwarf, Green-O-Matic, Frisian Duck, Auto Duck, Sweet Tooth Auto, Red Beard Sensi and Early Pearl.

I love both up and down strains, Sativa and Indica, Hybrids, photos and autos.

See you all around

Sure There's a few snaps of the end of the recent Chemdog, Skunk #1 & Cheddar #1 crop, the buds drying, a little hash made from the trimming process, a 'cob' which is a work in progress and a couple of the buds drying before they were jarred up

Beautiful, excellent work my friend.
I see you use air pots, my favorite.
You like soil or coco?

Thanks man
I'm all organic in soil at the moment. I used EcoThrive's Ecolife soil with Charge and Biosys, which is basically a gentle supersoil, with a ton of mycorhyzzal etc. support. I also augment the grow nutrients with Biobizz Grow, Bloom, Heaven, Top-Max & Calmag (essential for me it seems due to my very soft water). I will be using Fish-Mix for the Veg period in place of Grow next crop.

However I have enough in store now to keep me going for 12 months. Due to the forthcoming increases in energy pricing I decided to make sure I had enough in store and then wait-up for the next one.

It sucks, because growing cannabis is 100% my favourite hobby, but you know, it makes sense to not have silly amounts in stock when the law is an ass still, where I live at least...

Too bad they are still giving people a hard time there.
Be careful, don't want anything happening to you.
I've had good results with Bokashi & insect Frass in my air pots.
Really helps feed and care for the roots.
Stay safe my friend.

Yeah thanks dude, I am as careful as I can be Had an interaction in the 90s, don't want another!

I will look into Bokashi, I have heard great things about insect Frass, so I will get genned up on that too while I am at it.

Thanks for the tip!

All the best,

Midge

Hello @MidgeSmith
Lookin good mate

 

[MidgeSmith]

Hi,

thanks for the warm welcome and kind words all of you.

I'm far from expert, but I've had some good guidance so far and I hope to gain more knowledge here. If I can help anyone else in the process that's a very welcome bonus!

@Tokin Roll I don't really make my own soil now as I tried twice and didn't have great results. I've proven not as good at that as the experts and my grow is small, so buying it in seems fairly effective. I buy Ecothrive's Ecolife living / super soil and augment it. I've re-used it for 2 grows so far and will keep doing so for the next couple of years at least. As long as you use a pack of microbial recharging stuff and the food they like, it seems the soil can go on for a long time. Like notill but a bit less natural
