Hello growers
I would love to have an opinion on this topic. Let me update you on what I have been working with. I have a one plant indoor grow inside a 80cm x 80cm grow tent. I use a 40l fabric pot with both Orgasoilux and Freedom farms soil (green bag). The bottom half I use Orgasoilux(20l) and the top half I use Freedom farms soil(20l). Throughout veg all I give the plant is Biodyne Environoc 401 (microbes), Molasses and water. This results in an extremely healthy plant.
Once I flip to flower I start using organic bottled nutrients. In the past I have used Biobizz Bio-bloom, and more recently I have used Dirty hands inc - Bio-Phos (Jamie's brand). I give 3ml Bio-Phos once a week early flower and up it to 5ml every week mid to late flower. Plus a molasses feeding every 2 weeks and stopped using Biodyne microbes 1 week into flower.
I was thinking about completely ditching bottled nutrients and going the topdressing route for flower. I was thinking of maybe topdressing a week before the flip with Jamie's elemental blend. I am just worried if it will provide enough for the plants through to harvest. I was also thinking of maybe using my own topdressing blend of Dry kelp, Gypsum, Malted Barley and Worm Castings. Would love an opinion on switching to topdressing for flower and if the elemental blend should be more than enough to take me to harvest. If you think I should just stick to bottled nutrients for flower let me know. I am going to include photo's of my 2 previous grows using the method I have stated above. Just trying to get the best quality flower possible :)
Some thoughts of mine...…
Topdressing vs Liquid Nutrients?
Biobizz Bio-Bloom vs Dirty Hands Inc Bio-Phos?
One topdressing enough 1 week before flip?
Elemental Blend or my own flowering mix?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Grow:
Medium: Top Half Freedom Farms soil (20l) + bottom half Orgasoilux(20l)
Additives and Amendments: Molasses + Biodyne Environoc 401 Microbes + Dirty Hands Inc - Bio-Phos + Mycoroot (seedling)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Seedling)
- Solo Cup + Freedom Farms soil + Mycoroot
-Transplant in week 2 of veg to 40l
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Veg Stage)
- initial inoculant 2ml Environoc Microbes
-1ml per litre Environoc every 2 weeks
-5ml per litre Molasses every 2 weeks
-Stop Environoc 1 week into flower
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Flower Stage)
-3ml Bio-Phos every week (early flower)
-5ml Bio-Phos every week (late flower)
-5ml Molasses every 2 weeks
-Stop Bio-Phos 2 weeks before harvest
-Feed molasses until harvest

First time growing photoperiods, quite excited.
Genetics
Hiroshima by Renegade Seed Co. 6 Pack
High THC, and according to the product description should deliver "high yields of dense, rock-solid buds." Hoping to achieve that.
Want to make one a mother and start learning to clone. The description says "These highly stable genetics produce two phenotypes at most." Should be easy to choose a winner to reveg.
They advise topping, which I am also looking forward to learning. Want to also try "FIM" a plant or two to experiment.
Grow Setup
Same as before. Here
~
Lets go
9 November
Seeds arrived. Also received a Promotional 2 Pack of G-Fawke.
10 November
Seeds into a glass of spring water. Onto a heating mat and into a dark cupboard to soak for 18 hours.
11 November
Seeds started showing roots. All 6 seeds popped, gently took them and placed them root facing down in Jiffy Preforma Plugs.
Covered the holes slightly and into the ROOTiT Small Propagator they go. Heating mat underneath, and gently misted with spring water. Also threaded the hygrometer reader through a ventilation hole, to see the environment reading.
I think this reading is fine for germination. Any and all feedback welcome.
Hoping for them all to push out effectively over the coming days. In hindsight I should have maybe done the paper towel method to get the roots longer, before putting them into the plugs. I've also previously had a failed germination where I watered a bit much, so just gently misting this time as to not drown/stunt the seeds.

This is how I built an overpowered light worth $2500+ on the market for only $850. All currency is CAD.
*BEFORE STARTING*
Watch the 6 part growmau5 series to learn the wiring:
For the grounding plug:
Technical:
4x Hlg 185H 700ma in series drivers (i suggest you buy the newer 240H model) $250
40x 5000K $350
7x 3000K $25
(You can use less I used way too many)
All are bridgelux Gen 3/ C3 (Make sure theyre all plug in only dont mess around with the solder ones unless you have 100+hours experience in soldering)
The 3000k ones I used were soulder onlys. Lost a couple due to human error
Total Cost (TC): $575
Frame:
(Choose a better material for frame, I used wood composite because I was lazy) (I would think aluminum would be the best material but all have their pros and cons)
Wood composite 2x2ft v
Matching plastic 2x2ft (painting frame) $50?
Thermal tape (sized to the width of the led bars) $20
TC: $70-100
Electric:
100’ length 20guage solid core wire $60
50 pack 2 wire wagos 221 $25
4x plastic junction boxes 4inch x 4inch x 3inch (make sure it comes with something to plug up the holes and hold the wire)$40
500 assorted pack heatshrink tubing $20 (good to help fit in junction box)
4x Leviton 515PV 15Amp 125Volt grounding plug $20
25’ 16guage wire (for the grounding plug) $20
TC:$165-Everything is super flexible here just make sure your amps and volt calculations are solid.
-Dedicated extra fans (required): With 2 medium fans running on the light, and another 2 small fans running on the drivers everything is 20C-25C.
SETTING UP THE DIMMERS
(Very easy if you do it like i did in these pictures)
All you need is:
•100k potentiometers (maybe an ohm meter if you want to make sure ur dimmers go all the way to 100, most dont they go to like 92 or 97)
•20 guage wire (same as the led strips)
•Plastic junction box (make sure its got rubber wire holders that you cut a hole through with scissors and put the wire/ potentiometer through)
•211 Wago wire connector
•soldering machine (temperature is dependant on what kind of solder you use) $25
• silver solder (find a lower temp soldering machine ~360f for silver) $20
(This light is truly 800w if you use the exact parts, if you use more or less drivers and led strips or different brands then the wattage can vary from 600-1000, materials are very flexible just try to make sure volt/amp calculations are correct) (Always be cautious with electricity, build this whole thing without being plugged in to any wall outlet/power source⚠️⚡️)

5x SecondHand Novas
The Nova 420W – 1000mm produces a large amount of light(47248 Lumens), making this light ideal for larger grow operations where the fixture can be placed further away from the canopy. The light spectrum and intensity produced by this fixture are both suitable for the vegetative and flowering stage (inclusive of Far-Red chips) of growth. IP 44 standard.
