Hey all and thanks for dropping by Mr Krip 
So things be on target. Lighting is mostly sorted. Soil coco mix ill sort myself once out there. Air con will be rented at first, bought later.
My one proper consideration to fathom is what route ill be going down nutrient wise. So id like to ask for some input regarding the best options available for organic nutrients.
I know all about no till etc etc and may make my own super soil at some point. Yet what options are there for bottled organics etc?
I have the option of getting pretty much any range , yet I want quality over everything and something truly organic or even veganic?
Please let me know your EXPERIENCES ✌

I use Biobizz and it's allright, but it's made from crops from conventional farming, so though it's organic it's not ecological, if you ommit Fish-Mix I think it's only vegajoy ingredients.
Reletively cheap in bulk if you stay away from Bio-Heaven, Acti-Vera and Root-Juice which all do very little and cost very much compared to the other products.
Have you thought about making your own?
Nettle tea for growth, Pomfrey tea for flowering, and maybe some compost/EWC tea will get you a long way
Hey LA I've heard good things a out nectar of the gods as well. @imtoasted uses them I think.
Nectar for the gods is a scientific approach to organic nutrients.. different from no till soils or organic teas. They do all the work for ya so you dont have to break ingredients down yourself.
Its great stuff.. requires some extra attention with slurry tests every now and again. I love the way the buds grow using it, the best medicine ive grown yet.. no doubts there.

Cheers for that input folks
So I chatted yesterday with my friends in Cali and ran over my plans. Just got all set and ready, making sure were gonna be on the same page as it were.
I got confirmation that ill get new genetics ahead of release, this should give me a nice little edge in spain. Letting me get to the clubs with the most updated genetics.
Ive got another LED lighting company involved and it should be fun as they be a new company into the grow market.
My last wave in the uk is going into flower in a weeks time. So as soon as thats done and gone in about 12 weeks Im outta here!

Looking good. Im sad your gonna be taking ya gift abroad. Hard to find good growers here who aint just after profit (which doesnt make for a good grower). Happy as larry that youve made it though!So weve had a mixed bag lately. My girls have been put under 12/12 and look great for the most part.

Lol. Im sad to say but this time is past due if im being honest. Ive grown and experimented for nearly 7 years now and shared it all. Along the way ive made lots of other folks rich. While i still live currently in the same 1 bed flat i was in when i began growing.
So spain is my shot at something for me. Yes if i get it right ill be earning a years wage in a week etc. Yet its more about my family. It'll give me the ability to be right there as my son grows up. Something just not viable in the UK.
knock their socks off LA!...
...cheerz...h00k...
...cheerz...h00k...All the very best to you and family "Light".IM BACK FOLKS .....!
I'm here to share the last stretch of my green journey, on the site that started it all off for me. To explain;
IM BACK FOLKS .....!
I'm here to share the last stretch of my green journey, on the site that started it all off for me. To explain;
This will be a warts and all, fly on the wall type journal. Ill share my efforts at starting a new life in Spain, growing pro for the canna clubs of Barcelona on behalf of a well known seed company. I'm selling up and going for my dreams!
The time is almost here! In about 3 months Im moving out to Spain for good. For me its now or never and to be honest this is the best shot ill probably ever get. So Im damn well going to give it my best shot.
Im taking 2 friends to be part of team LA, giving me 3 properties in total once settled to work with. One guy is a total noob and my student lol, the other is an experienced grower and mainly my extracts guy. (Closed loop specialist)
Lighting will be a mix of Budmaster led and CMH 315's. Ill be converting whole rooms so no tents etc this time. Ill be running crazy rotations to produce good quantities, yet ill flux em all and keep plant numbers to about 10 per wave. Starting another wave very week into flower!
So folks, im taking my shot! I may fail or stumble, yet ive got to try and make it, especially given the opportunities ive got open to me at present.
Now I dont laim to be the best grower in the world lol. So if anyone has constructive input or a better way of doing something, then please pipe up and help me try to make dreams a reality.

Following along here LA. Man I'm looking forward to you getting in deeper. I know you're getting amped about Spain and later some cup competition. Hoping that you'll have major support when the time comes. But you'll do ok. Family in place will be a bonus too.
Wishing godspeed and much luck my friend.

Hey Jim ✌
Thanks for dropping in. Yup things are still somewhat on track. Just the guys im taking with, are perhaps not quite on the same urgent page. If they dont sort it out asap ill be getting shot of em and doing it solo lol.
Anyway I hope you're correct as far as support goes. Thats kind of the idea of the thread. Ive always said im not the best grower and will no doubt be in need of some input from time to time. So yep im wanting a show of fource from my 420 family!
The rest will be ok, equipment etc. Im lucky to have plenty of industry friends and contacts. Just doing the property search bit currently.
Everything else is a blur to be honest as Im working 60 hr weeks and still trying to organise it all and my little boy is just bloody awesome, so when im not at work like now im making the most of him!
Hows things with you my friend??

HIGH Light Addict, I'm in for the ride. I didn't know you were back till PW's journal post you left.
Last time I was here I read about one of your family members having alzheimer's. I hoped that worked out okay, would love to hear an update.
But really, I'm here to cheer you on. It's your time, this is canna history. Glad I could see it in my lifetime.
