Except when it’s being made by a real grower and constantly tweaked. It absolutely can matter who is making it

I’ll concede to your point, but I was mainly referring to NPK being NPK.
Different sources to make the nutrients, but 20-20-20 should still be 20-20-20 no matter who makes it.
In a sense I can agree about maker. There are certain nutrient companies I refuse to use now, but ratios are supposed to be consistent.

@anon95385719 the £40.00 is because of there bio heaven is 20.00 on its own but the biobizz grow bloom and topmax. But i get what you are saying and thank you for your input. I will have a look at what you have told me and al see if i can get the brand in the uk. I just looked at the remo line and i am afraid to tell you that is more expensive over here in the uk myfriend unfortunately. But thank you i might try it sometime when i am a bit more flush with cash lol but until then i will use what i can i think but for this grow i am using up the last of my bio bizz line i have all of it except for one or two things but i will be comparing this grow with my next one as i will be usin AN ph perfect grow bloom and micro. And see which works better for me. But until next year i will use what nutesi have. And by nxt year my own soil should be ready aswell. Another subject that i am intrested in which i will keep foranother time. Here are some pics of my babies that i took yesterday. I know how much we all love to see nice pics.
These pics are from earlier that day about 6 to 8hrs between pics and such a change in growth then. I am so addicted to growing now i just hope that the uk will legalise it before i die so that i dont have to stress out at times. Anyway can anyone see if these are all the same or is there a difference in any of them i think one is different but not sure since the one in the blue pot has been in that since wk2 and was in a spacebucket as i waited for my tent. It seems to have a bigger (thicker) stem but thts cause its been in bigger pot for longer while veg . But since i decided to switch to 12/12 light schedule due to a height issue and unsure of the strain or strains so rather than risk having to cut them down or prune it cause of the height so 4wks of veg is good enough just now anyway plus i topped one and fimmed 3 of them its my first time at topping and fimming so i hope i have done both processes correct i was thinking of doing it all again but am to late i already switched light schedule and i dont know if i can do any more fimming or topping. But as long as i did it right first time round then thats good enough for me this time. So next time i can do more and see how tht goes. Anyway enough rambling for now. I will leave u with these pics. Grow in peace my friends.
I will take some day light pics without them being under the LED’s tht will be when you can tell if there is any difference in strains or if thy are all the same or will i have to wait till they bud.

Well family here are some new pics some real light whats the verdict. I am using now 2 300w led cheap lights now ive switched flower i was only using 1 in veg for 2wks and 2wks thy were under a 45w led. And this is how they look now at wk 5 and 2days old. One has been fimmed and one topped or my first attempts at topping and fimming.
This is the outcome so far and am hoping that this will be the best yet al be happy at a 1oz a plant but if i can squeeze more thn that out of them i will am hoping with topping and fimming 3 tht will have helped to increase my yeild but this is my first grow in this tent and as i said thy have only been in the tent just over 2wks and the one in the blue bucket looks like 5gallon but i think its only 3.8gallon or there about. And its in different soil infact its a mad mix of everything i had left tht was mixed together for some other plants in the house and it seems to be the darkest green there. What the verdict then ladys and gents. @garrigan62 @raustin @dbrn32 @FloridaSon @Shuggz @Kapelady @anon95385719 @Stomper @Countryboyjvd1971 @Hogmaster. Thank you grow in peace my friends.

Yes, you can switch to another brand. Just do not mix base nutrients of different brands together, just in case they are not compatible. You should be OK.

Thanks everyone. @Stomper can i ask you personal question again when u were having trouble before ur diagnosis. Ryt how to explain this. Do u know the feeling u get when stiches get removed how you can feel it going through ur skin. I get tht type of feeling aswell along the soles of my feet like my veins being pulled out my toes type of thing if that makes sense. Av told my dr about all of the symtoms i have but thy are stumped. But i know in the uk our drs wont test for anything else only wat thy ask for. Our NHS free health service is very tight when it comes to ordering blood test thy only test for things the dr ask them to test so if its not asked for thn it wont be tested for which is shocking. One thing when i was in hospital getting a iv of antibiotics the dr there informed me the results of the blood tests showed an elevation in my blood of an infection but thts all thy could say thy dont know wat or were this infection is. The last blood test still had raised level saying i had a blood infection but thts all. Thy sent me for ultrasounds on my legs at the time cause thts wat swelt up. Anyway sorry about the rant friends am just at the end of my teather with this and its been 9months of pains etc am so fed up just wish i knew whats going on. And i need my pain relief but weeks before thy r ready lol. Just hope it all goes well and i get 4female from this grow. Thanks for being considerate and understanding about all this my friends. Am not tht old either am under 40 but am afraid and cant talk to anyone especially my partner thy have enough worries of there own i cant let them see i am not coping cause thy will feel worse about there disability cause of me struggling so i just soldier thru but am afraid and scared cause it is starting to show and thy are picking up on somethings.

You sound like an old school Irishman. That’s how I was raised, suck it up and get back to work. I can tell you this, if you smoke tobacco, quit now. If it’s Buergers it will improve. Don’t just hide it tho. Lack of sleep and paranoia from hiding it will cost you friends.

Raw apple cider vinegar, raw honey and raw garlic.
None of that is a quick fix, but studies have shown they can be helpful with blood infections. I have to warn you that raw garlic is very hot, so be prepared for that if you try this.
I get you wanting to be strong for those around you. I need you to get that sometimes you have to be strong enough to ask for help with some things.
Physically, none of us here or there can really do anything to help. But mentally and emotionally, those that care about your well being can be of a big help. But not if they don’t know.
I don’t know your situation at home, so please don’t feel as if I’m judging. I also bottle up worries and fears to help those around me feel better about bad situations. Sometimes that can come back and bite us.
Damn, dude! I wish I could embrace you like my brother and help you through this. I know what its like to put on the strong front for others while inside you feel like the whole world is crashing down. It’s a heavy burden to carry.
I give mine to God when it’s too much for me. Not everyone sees that as an option, but it works for me.
The fears you hold inside…if you can’t get them out at home, you get them out here!
Fear is the mind killer…

Thanks @FloridaSon appreciate it. Your right it doesnt help to bottle anything up i have spoken to ppl tht can help. One day at a time. Anyway here are my babies now cant really call them lady’s right now cause dont know what I’ve got there but it be fun. Few times ive been looking at them and brushing past them and there seems to be couple different smells one smells like oil and earthy smell and the other bit harder sweet fruity smell but wasnt sure. Anyway .
@garrigan62 @dbrn32 @anon95385719 @Stomper @latewood @Countryboyjvd1971 @Shuggz getting there but i dont think al grow these types again maybe feminized fast flower or something that i know were they came from what they are and not knowing wat thy are means i dont know how long thy take to flower 8 to 12wks. But autos are fast and with the right knowledge and experience i should be able to improve and increase yeild by learning to grow all strains. I think anyway since ive learnt if you experience different ways of doing things etc it helps your confidence not to mention skill level. So apply that to growing by experiencing the different types wheather that be Autoflower or Feminized or your regluar seeds knowing how to grow them all also helps you learn on what you can and cant do.

If you want to know the gender while still vegging, take a clone and set it to 12 hours or less of light. It will show gender even while it still making roots. Once you know gender you can remove males and take clones of the females so you know what you have next time.
Timing of flowering is totally adjustable to your needs. In nature seeds start after last frost and veg till the third week of Sept when the days get shorter than twelve hours. They flower till November or early December which is why they grow in temperate zones with early thaws and late freezes generally. We can start flowering at will indoors by changing the light but still have 60 to 80 days to ripen including stretch time. I think sometimes people think the “time to flower” is from germination and when it takes three months more than they thought they are confused.

Exactly its only auto flowers that grow that fast my last 2grows were autoflower and one was 77days from seed and the other was 63days from seed. But to get large yeild with autos i would need larger lights etc aswell but i will try 5gallon pots nxt grow aswell with the auto’s i will do plus summer comming i can veg some Feminized outside for couple weeks or more and then move thm inside with the auto’s if i time it right that is but we will see got some great white shark feminized ther 3types of autos and i think a green crack or green poison fast there to try so i want to do a mix of 4 types once i have the experience for myself and partner as the 2 i have done she enjoyed at different times and the great white is supposedly very good for pain so i want to try that and if i can get an auto thats similar to it i would be happy and sweet afghani delicious ( S.A.D) auto Is ment to be a really nice smoke aswell so i will do them aswell if i time it right i could grow them all at the same time give or take a wk or 2 i would have to do the great white first then the green crack thn S.A.D With another auto then firgure out which am keeping to grow and maybe even breed with in time MAYBE.
