New Grower First time grower choosing equipment...

Cannabis Seeds
id say it would need a bit longer, but soil would be my weak spot, i cant find any good brands really and most dont deliver soil international so i have limited experience.

with autos they immediately send down a tap root pretty deep and itll hit the hot soil and have issues i would say. ive made a weak mix and planted into final pots for this grow so i can use feeds to feed them more than the soil (in my head thats the plan atleast) i weakened the mix with perlite and coco which both have no real nutrients themselves just something for roots to grow through.
if you plant into final pots though you have to be careful and understand how moist the soil is through the whole pot not just the surface otherwise itll look dry but underneath waterlogged. and roots rot if they cant get oxygen too. they need very little water when theyre small most problems from new growers are caused by paranoid overwatering.

i would ask in the soil or general chat forum maybe someone that knows the soil would be able to give you a better answer. there might be some stickies on mixes im not sure.
if no answer id weaken the soil and plant into that and then transplant into the mix eventually. not sure though.
also i might be wrong but autos grow larger when the tap root has room early on, if it hits the bottom of the pot in a small pot youll end up limiting its overall potential. if you can use taller pots get some.
 
you betcha man, i think im gonna go with a small set up, personal use only ya know, but ima go with the 4x4x7 tent, i only plan on a line up of 3-4 ladies at a time but id rather have more space than not enough...:smoke: if i can get shipping and everything right my first journal should start the first week of may, im going to start 2 fem malana bombs and a freebie or two lol...:brow:
 
yeah I just ordered it!! I'll have some time to look into what i'll mix in the FFOF while its in transit, i'd really like to just start it in the same pot it'll finish in but i'm gonna ask in that soil forum for some advice

pokalolo: yeah man sounds good, just use those lighting calcs bgrt posted to make sure you get a light with decent coverage for that size tent :D :smokebuds:
 
lol and make sure you include shipping into your budget, it was over $100 just for that, must be a heavy sucker
 
ha yeh, ah if you had split ordered from separate places itd probably all add upto that anyway and be happy you can get soil delivered expensively, im stuck locally with mostly vague nameless unknown miracle grow ripoff brands which give no ingredients or ph and would kill an auto if given the chance..
 
haha yeah that sucks but it's good to see you really don't even need the best of the best stuff if you just want to grow good bud, I see a lot of high ranking people suggesting ProMix potting soil in the soil forum and that's available right down the street at my local hardware :p i'm hearing its not too strong for seedling and germination so i'm thinking of grabbing that and mixing 50/50 with FFOF i'm getting or maybe even a little more heavy on the Promix, that along with the Fox Farm nute trio and I think it's gonna be a good combo :peace::wiz:
