"Heath Robinsons" now that's a name I have not heard in a long time.
followed most of his diary's on the different forums, full of great advice.
just amazing the buds he would grow under the old HPS

Most of his grows had more lights than plants.

I remember a 1 plant grow of his that used 3 x 600w hps.

Your right but electric cost is really cheap(cost in electric to grow an OZ), say it cost him £350 to use 3 x 600w hps.(70 days)
He could have pull 50 oz's (£7 an oz in electric is not much IMO, he used cheap grow and bloom nutes).

Most of my £20/oz was leccy. Still good value considering what it achieves.

iirc, his 1 plant 3 x 600w hps grow was done using Ionic. afaik, all the tree growers only use basic nutes. krusty used GH 3 part at label dosage.

Tree Growers only use basic nutes, I think this says it all.
Average plants can't use more nutes than trees.

pot size has a big impacted on the plants health, larger the better, more work but your plants will alway look more healthy in a 30ltr pot vs a 18ltr pot.
If the soil mix is right.

Weed growing is an alley

If that's what you really want, your growing style will gravitate towards achieving similar results.

What every grower has to learn for themselves is 'How much effort am I prepared to make when I'm always completely stoned?'

Looks like you have one main shoot on each plant and some lower side shoots.

they have been topped a few time like i said, it's not that important as they are being grown out for the first time, just to see potential.

The two new strains are still showing as females, which is a good starting point, so onto my other plants which are 3 weeks ahead of the two new strains so about four weeks into flower and i ain't given them any bloom feed yet, which is what they stall reveice tomorrow evening.
