YES another paddy, im not alone :booya:, ill do mo chara thinking about buy a new camera when i can afford it was fiddling with the ne that i have and as does happen with me BOOM dropped it :L

kernanator what is your max budget if you dont mind me asking?

eh it depends from week to week, i dont have a lump sum of cash as i get money every week so about €25 a week there of thereabouts

im the same as u with fund, just a small bit each week. it can be done on a small budget, just priortize ur list and buy what u need badly first, like more light ect. what part of ire are u in?? general area. there are a few good grow shops around but mostly in the citys, my shop is six hours return, so it becomes a major hassel to get anything. i tryed to keep to a basic budget and just managed it, had a fire last weekend and lost most of my electrical equipment, the shop said they would replace all but i cant get there till next tuesday or wednesday. so i had to put my plants up for adoption, i was lucky i got someone to take them. im back to the start so im trying to work again with in a tiny budget. so i know what it feel like what kind of water do u have?? tap or well? ph is really important as well for both water and soil so keep this in mind.

NW ireland guees which county hahah, the nearest shop is in belfast and i dont have a car either so i have to rely on VERY trusted friends who do, what seeds you gettin ? just found those mazars man they look sexy we have boggy water not sure of the pH, its tap water, gonna get stuff from homebase from soil and vermicompost, friend recommended its so ill see how that goes

 

[ggsm555]

had mi5 and skunk berry, now i have nothing, i dont know what i will buy cause im waiting to see how funds turn out, have to get soil and pots cause the plants were in the pots when i had to give them away. so i have to start again, dont get peat cause it lowers the ph over time, and ph tester for water is really important, try to get a air pump second hand or cheap for the water( try local adds)

 

[ggsm555]

at the moment i am trying to get 25l pots second hand of free, im looking at all options, i also looking at large plastic containers, if i got one i would hope to put more than one plant in it, any money saving tips??

look at www.ministryofcannabis.com they have a decent auto called royalmatic , no the water we have here is from the bog so its filled with nutrients couldn't be arsed with hydroponics gonna go for manually watering them there also www.planetskunk.com they're based in cork

 

[ggsm555]

the air pump is to put oxygen in the water, the roots need o2, and the water ph affects the growth even in soil, i dont do hydro either, my shop sells planet skunk seeds just ring the shop and collect, but again its budget that is stopping me, i need around 130 euros of stuff

 

[ggsm555]

will the water from the bog have a really low ph?? cause peat lowers ph
