I can't help DIY lol... with a top hat some 13mm tubing and some filter material you could make something similar that would cost pennies.


You probably have some 13mm, a top hat will cost about 50p so all you need is some filter material over the 13mm.
Great idea.

i do like the idea though of a bulk head or tank connector so that I can tighten and seal the connections with silicon washers To make sure of definitively no leaks lol.

Anyone seen this after clipping back a plant or re vegging?

I cloned then pruned it back to the wood 10 days ago.

The same thing happened when I was re vegging it to clone, i also cut it back then to keep it short and give me fresh shoots to clone, which it did.

Then went south :-)...but everything else is fine???

I expect it'll clear up like before in a couple of days but I'm still curious what the cause is, why does a plant suddenly develop a need for magnesium after pruning?

Not too sure that’s magnesium.

I’d be leaning towards Fe.

which if you’re using Calmag most contain iron too.

Anyone got a cheap source for one of these flood tray filters?

View attachment 5080894

going to use one on my drain point in my drip tray to allow debris to stay in the tray while allowing the runoff to go out easily.

then I just rinse the filter in the runoff to clean it out.

Finding small amounts of coco is clogging my drain hole (granted I could increase the drain hole size lol)
how much you paying for them now?

The name doesn't really mean much around here, I'd want to smell it before committing to more than 1g

If Joe soap can't grow it doesn't matter what he's growing it's predictably going to be crap to a regular smoker.

An eighth hasn't been 20 quid for a long time. It is 3.5g, that would be £35 around here. I always used to call it a Henry, back when it was weighed with a penny or even better 2 halfpennies.
I know right.

£20 worth up north wales gets you 1.6g if you’re lucky.

personally I would be £20 Henry - £40 Q - £80 Half - £160 full.

Those would be my prices but then I’m still stuck in the early 2000’s as far as my mrs tells me anyway lol.

Where on earth do these new names come from, when I look at seeds it's fkg foreign language lots of cool sounding names that mean fk all to me, do I have time to check the lineage absolutely not.

Sour stomper and rock bud raspberry... Wtf is that for example lol.

There was a thread about this the other day. What does the super in super lemon haze stand for etc. does it relate to being an auto.

And as I explained to the guy

I could cross any 2 plants and call it whatever the fuck I like.

Most though usually start with 2 strains and merge the names of both to create one for their chosen breeding program.

Next year I might try some Super Duper Cookie Dough Thin Mint Kushy Haze Smiler.

Breeders just make them up I guess, if I bred a strain I'd call it "OG Shit Gibbon". TBH I am old school and mainly stick with the strains I know from back in the 90s. So Northern Lights, Big Bud, OG Kush. I ordered a new one the other day Black Valium Auto which I am going to put on with some Northern Lights Autos.

I am trying to get my head around Autos. RQS keep giving me packs of free Autos. Last year I did some indoors and they were crap, got them from Sensi Seeds, who are normally very good, so I reckon that was my fault. Then RQS sent me a 5 pack of Northern Lights Auto and I did them in a poly tunnel in the garden and they were fucking great. I have completely rekitted myself since I last did Autos indoors. I have 3 (freebie) Northern Lights Autos from RQS and I have bought a 5 pack of Black Valium Auto by Top Shelf Elite from Discount Seeds. If my maths is right a run of Autos should be more cost effective than and less work than a full run of Photos, but only if I can get them to yield. My outdoor Autos got me 285g (10oz) from 5 plants, so on that basis I "could" get 12oz from 6, in theory.
