Sounds like you're way is the same as mine mate! Yeah i guess thats what im gonna do, just gonna have to get quite a few more considering i wanna use bigger pots and more plants too! At least im familiar with those amounts though so wont be over complicated just more bottles to do it with!I always use drinking water bottles. I add nutes to the bottles, give them a shake, and pour on! If you're doing more plants, get more of those 8L bottles.
For my next run I'm going primarily organic, though, and I'm using a commercial pelletized organic fertilizer that will be mixed into the soil and then left for the beneficial bacteria to do their thing before I drop my seedlings into them. Also adding 10% worm castings and kelp meal. Both worm castings and kelp do incredible things for my girls!
Also plant products are a lot cheaper at a nursery/gardening center than a grow shop. You can look for larger pots there if you don't want to go with the air pots for whatever reason. In the heat of summer a regular pot should hold more water: not sure if you're planning to do another run right after this one!
Nothing I use for growing comes from grow shops anymore, although I did buy tiny sample bottles of potassium silicate/cal-mag/enzymes/bennies recently since one of my local stores does them for a few bob each. It was cheap and convenient and I couldn't resist.
Sounds nice mate, always sounds nice to grow completely organic like that, even just using the sun makes me feel like im doing it organically lol! I gotta do some research into worm castings and additives like that i bet they do wonders for your plants!!
I am planning on doing another grow straight after i harvest these, different strains and different pots though and different conditions as you said, summer is coming and its beginning to warm up a lot! Hoping to lose the tent completely aswell... Ive read some good things about the air pots but havent done a lot of looking into them, ill do a lot more reading on them before i buy them! Ill definitely start looking at garden centres too apparently theres one only down the road from me (someone told me today) so gonna pay there a visit sometime soon and have a look what theyve got. There might be a little delay between the grows while i get some different bits sorted but theres no rush at the end of the day!
Yeah i was using the grow shop mainly cause i was a complete noob but now most of my info is coming from you guys and other threads & forums about, and now ive got my first grow under my belt i have a little experience so i think ill only be visiting the grow shop for specific stuff i cant get elsewhere! Really enjoyed this grow ive had some great results in my opinion so gonna get really stuck in on the next one!
Northern Lights is great, it did better than my free seed SourDaddy
