Budget Soil Grow

Home Bargains experiment - this is the test of the growmoor 40 litre compost (purple bag) from HB. Starting in 3.6 litre pots going into 18 litres at 4 weeks. IMPORTANT - do not over water 💦 I watered once this week , totally saturated them , and just left them alone - ONCE THIS WEEK !!!

watering once every 5 days , with 1 litre in each

loving the soil , just water no nutrients at all. yet :) they are looking dry after about 3 days , I am transferring into 18 litre pots

nothing but water....transplanted into 18 litre pots , nothing but HB soil.

definitely flower faster in soil :)

Just the water 2 times a week all pics taken on iPhone , couple of vintage filters in iPhone pic edit

I gave her a little drink of some shogun nutrients this week , one feed at +600 ppm or +1.2 EC , they are being watered almost every three days , sometimes a little earlier 👍 pics from iPhone

Can’t believe this is working , just water this week every 2-3 days about 3.5 litres each time

smells lovely ..... small buds , but quality is good.

Ok starting to show a few leaf deficiencies, but with two weeks left I’m going to dragonforce then flush , I water every 2-3 days , I have given them two feeds this whole cycle , once with a bit of cal mag and ooze , once with some shogun flower feeds , I don’t expect a huge yield , it was an experiment, and wow how much easier it is to do in soil , they seem to smell more too 👍

Finishing with the dragon force , then one week of plain water

Ok so she had her final flush today , I’m going to let her dry out then crop, all photos from iPhone , two of them smell the fruitiest of fruity , one of them is a lot more resin smelling , this was fun , I reckon there might be a few ounces here , certainly not on the scale of DWC but 500 times easier , some quality smoke here and for the budget probably the best value , I spent about £5 on the compost , , electric was 15 p a day , so about £13 , tent was £30 ,led was £100 , fan and filter £50 , fan in tent £12 , water from tap 50p , I think she needs a little bit of cal mag in the grow , and some dragon force at the end , I think there is as least 3 ounces , so a pretty good ROI for a budget . And You can clearly see that repotting affects final size , the biggest one was repotted first . Next go I’m going to plant straight into final pot Ps yes she is falling over , ....

easy soil grow in a 60 x 60 x 140 tent, eager to taste it....soil smells much more than DWC00. Update 3 plants made 82 grams in total probably minus a bit of leaf .2 of them on the scales weighed in picture , plant A in bowl ( that was the biggest )0
