hello everyone! I've got a few successful outdoor photo period soil grows under my belt and tee months of research I am ready to move on to bigger and better things. of all my research this site is my favorite so I chose it to register and thanks in advance for being awesome! I've got a MG fantasmo express, heavyweight F&V, greenhouse seeds Jack herrer, vision seeds NL all auto fem. I've also got a 4x2x6 tent, 600w digital dimmable air cooled light with MH and HPS, 400 cfm fan, 3 gallon fabric pots, 4 bricks of coco, 2 bags of perlite, GH ph test kit (solution/drops until I can afford a decent pen) with ph up and down, GH rapid rooters, and GH cal mag supplement. I've only got 2 things left to order and that is my nute line up and 2 small oscillating fans. are there any recommendations here? I was thinking of going with the GH flora trio for simplicity and follow what I've read on growweedeasy. now the more I read on here I'm thinking something else like AN ph perfect or GH flora nova or maybe something coco specific? money is not much of an issue I just want something easy to use with awesome results. I plan to use store bought RO water as I live in the country and have very hard well water. is there a nute line up I could use that would allow me to use my well water? it seems expensive and a pain to buy and transport RO water and also would I need to use the RO to flush/hydrate my coco bricks? now the biggest hang ups I'm having are with seed germination. my main focus on this grow is getting to harvest ASAP. how should I do this do i soak seeds in water 24 hrs then put in rapid rooters and put the rapid rooters on top of my coco in final pots? i know alot of people use t5 lighting for seedlings but that isnt an option for me right now so will they be ok if I dim my ballast way down and keep it far away with the MH bulb? also if I'm germinating in final pots how to I keep the medium/root area warm? do i need to buy a big heating pad? since my main goal is a fast harvest is there any nutes or supplements that will help with that? I've heard of rizzotonic and voodoo juice great whire tarantula pirana roots excelurator and all that stuff but what works best or should I skip them this grow? what about b52?what does it do? sorry for all the questions but I just want to germ my seeds in the next couple days and I'm finding nothing but conflicting info
 
to sum it all up
[HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] I'm looking for a nute recommendations possibly one that will allow me to use my well water. it's hard water that rust stains whites. I do have a softener but not sure the salt is good for plants. so I'm planning on RO water unless I can find a way around it.
[HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] supplements- root enhancers since I'm trying to get to harvest asap is there anything that I could use to help with that or should I just keep to base nutes for my first time indoors? also new to autos and coco
[HASHTAG]#3[/HASHTAG] germination and seedling- will I be ok without a t5 light? do i need to keep the coco warm? since I'm planting in final pots (3 gallon fabric) that would be a huge heating pad to buy or is it not needed or is there a better way?
[HASHTAG]#4[/HASHTAG] do i put nutes and cal mag and any supplements in from the beginning and should I preload my coco when I flush/hydrate it?
[HASHTAG]#5[/HASHTAG] how do i elevate my fabric pots off the floor and what should I use to catch run off?
thanks in advance ! !
 
you'll be fine to plant in your 3 gal pots with the light dimmed low. i dont think it's significant to have a heat source for the seedlings, but perhaps it would encourage quicker growth.

mycorrhizal is a good beneficial fungi that helps roots absorb nutrients and grow, just spread some around the rootzone before you plant (1-2 tbsp in around 3-4 inches where your seedling will dwell)

just beginning my second grow, but this is what i've done. humidity domes would be a good contribution to the seedlings, i think i may recycle a yogurt cup as a mini dome for now.

may your grow be dank
