Update for you all - I started a fourth batch of three seeds on Mon, they germinated and I potted them up on Tues using reg B&Q potting compost, sand and tap water. By this morning all three were healthy looking seedlings about an inch tall above the soil with opened leaves. None of my previous seeds got this far even after two weeks in the pots. Confirms there was definitely a serious problem with the medium / mineral water I was using before.
I'm going to get some biobizz tomorrow, how long before I should start the nutes?
3-4 weeks or when you see leaves getting lighter colour...........

A good few weeks. I tend only to give my plants their first feed when they tell me they need it, paling and such, i try, and often fail, to plan ahead so that my seedlings can take as long as they need, so many many failed new growers because they wanted it to go as fast and big as possible, and it so often goes so wrong :D
Naively I was going to go for two weeks veg then eight weeks bloom, and use the grow, bloom, and top-max like in this chart http://www.gchydro.com/pdf/biobizz.pdf
but you're saying I should spend longer in grow with no nutes? or do two weeks grow but don't start the nutes until into bloom?

Oh you can do what you want if you know what you're doing :) I just try and plane seeds in advance so that i don't have to worry about nute burn etc.

Unfortunately I don't have a clue what I'm doing lol, but I think I get the message, I'll just wait and see how things go in the early stages...

Just bear in mind that if you underfeed your plants they might look slightly yellow/ pale etc and you can give them a dose of nutes to bring them back to good health in no time. If you burn them, the leaves go brown and die off and can't be recovered. To be fair though, if you start off small with your nutes (1/4 strength) and go up in .5ml per L then you shouldnt see them go from normal to burn to shit straight away, the tips will go yellow first.

My sister called me today and said: 'I was worried that the mechanic at the garage might try to rip me off because i'm a woman on my own, but the bill was only £125'

I said: 'what did it need?'

She said: 'tyre inflation fluid.'

holy hand grenade !lol, a Worms player are we!! used to play that game for fuckin days on end, gallons of white cider and speed and jist sit and talk endless pish. great fun. terrible skitter for days afterward mind you.
back to the fishing, im not and have never been a sea fisher but maybe spinnin with a "flying condom" good for estuary fishin when th salmon are headin in, mackerel are ground feeders so fuck the float and just put a treble hook with maggots or anythin on it and a fuckin dirty big bomb weight, good for pier casting. what kinda fish are you trying to catch anyway, whats the most common local fish. oh and shrimps are always a good option , fresh, dried or fake.

i agree with the klitschko analysis, he's bigger, heavier, stronger and more experienced and the fuckers got a head like a rock, hayse gotta chance if he get in tight witha lotta body shots and softens him up then steps back and just fends with the jab, i recon haye will be fitter over the distance, hes got decent movement and quick hands as well but god fuckin help him if the big man catches him two or 3 head shot combos, he's gonny go down.
as for the fishin.....its just the lazy mans sport well bait fishin anyway bit like golf but without the pretentious wankers and dodgy clothes.(not sayin all golfers are like that but theres a helluva lot are. carparks full of fuckin audis and beemers.......touch of advice here lads......if your ever desperate for cash hit the big golf clubs at nite. foam the alarm chop the phone lines (windy nite stuff btw) burst the fuckin doors,remember most clubs are fuckin miles away from any houses, lotsa cash (usually a safe, so be prepared to cut or burn into it, better if you actually just lift the fucker and take it back to a garage) , oh and top quality booze around(malt whiskey, etc) and silverware.....but be fuckin careful, fully suited , booted and gloved, remember lotta cops like to play golf.
aaahhh memories, the sign of a mis-spent youth. dont bother with the security gaurd even if there is one , he's on minimum wage and a short threat will usually keep him quiet(remember to take his mobile from him!!!!)( very good if delivered in scots or ulster accent). if u can take a van, all clubs have a shop with lotsa shiny expensive goodies. takes time to shift them so its best if u know ah quick one off source.

Sometimes, just for a laugh, I like to pretend I'm having a fight with my own hand.

Yeah, it's pretty immature and stupid, I know.... but the make-up wank is fantastic!

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN. FOR GOD AND ULSTER.

likewise m8. Fuck me I was stoned last night. A good stoned though, could get used to that. Gave my bro a bit of the AK and he told me this morning that he led a different life last night. He says he put football manager on the PC and went Inverness Caly Thistle and he actually believed he was the REAL manager. lol. Says he came to about 2 hours later and was a bit worried, thinking that he had lost the plot. He had to go for a cold shower. Now thats good weed.lol
