When i grew organically the taste was amazing.
It is something i miss after going chem nute route but the organic nutes came in 9 sep bottles with 1ml/litre, yes better value than chem nutes but it took ages to dose the water to feed the plants.
With the nutes i use i can just squirt and go

I may go back to organic after i've built up a stash.
I will never go back to leds though, whatever i do the plants always turn to shit quickly when i use them.
Also causes less branching and spindly ass growth with leds.
I rarely listen to what the Hydro shop man has to say, bs dollar dollar stuff.

When I used to grow production for a med club it was very illegal and you had to be careful about medium disposal. I used 3 part GH and just going into a grow store was inviting heat, I kept moms in soil in the house and I cloned and used only a 1 inch rockwool cubes as my medium and ran NFT in 4 inch pipes and fiberglass tables used for cattle to walk on to stop hoof disease that I bought at the local feed mill and flowered right after the clones rooted,I made a manifold out of copper with gate valves controlling each length of tube and table all draining into a respective reservoir which had aquarium heaters as needed,never had to worry about adding anything extra,no blossom boosters or fancy seasoning required,proper PH,good air replacement and mixing of nutrients and it took care of itself,and I changed solution every 2 weeks,no air pumps,no timers except light cycle, no fkn around and at one time I had 1200 plants under 12 hid lamps in my 40x20 garage and divided the room and ran on opposite cycles so the panel could handle it. I trimmed the side branching and the plants would be about a foot tall and solid bud,It was very simple,reliable and gave great yields. I think it's the simplest,easiest ,and cheapest way to grow if your looking for yield,these days I just grow personal using 50-50 promix/perlite because there is no market.

It is all still very illegal here @Dime
I went to a different hydro shop this weekend and was a bit shocked having to drive past 4 parked up old bill cars, rapid response... Luckily it was a mechanic shop and not the actual station but i still drove back a round about route to make sure.
I'm not gonna get into the whole leds are bs again but I find most things in the hydro shop are overprices bs gimmicky stuff. Like vapes, all the feeds are pink and trying to appeal to the kids nowadays.

That's pretty dense planting. 10 watts per plant?

I had a freind who worked at a grow store and he would meet me at designated spots like a mall or a parking lot complex,you didn't even talk on the phone about it.

Im not sure how many watts per plant but the lights would hang really close,mostly wide blades were grown so light intensity wasn't a big factor,they were 1k lamps.

At least you can talk about the plant in the shops now, used to be tomato plants we were all growing.

I'm off to repot my percy plants.
In the year 2005, i was also growing a few plants Dime, only 100 or so under 6 600s but with no filter.
You could smell it as you entered the street 100 yards away.
The old bill did knock a few times asking to open the door for 'general enquiries'.
As it was Tottenham i doubt anyone was opening their doors down the street whatsoever.
That was some great herb, White Rhino, AK47, Red Dawn and Double bubble

Had some gnarly moments carrying a couple of keys back via the train at night.
Stupid me.
One time i was sat on the station platform with large 2kg holdall when two policeman and their GSD came running onto the platform.
Luckily for me they were looking for a mugger with a person sniffing dog

In the UK at that time was def a stretch in prison.
I hope even now with it being illegal that wouldnt be the case here but who knows.
What happened to you @Dime
