Hi wasp welcome to AFN!!
I am a outdoor balcony grower I use 5 gallon buckets and for soil I use a mix of 50% coco, 25% topsoil/compost, 25% perlite this soil works great above 60North but if you live in dry/hot climate I recommend tossing in some vermiculite as the buckets heat up and evaporate water too fast. For nutrients you don't need much special just a general fertilizer "just not miracle grow" will be sufficient it's all I use, In fact I am using citrus plant feed. I just use whatever is local.
Will you be growing Russian Rocket Fuel? I have switched to RRF and is my new daily meds. Also RRf is not a super auto just so you know.
She gives a great sativa balanced high but genetically consist of more indica.
Peace:Sharing One:

Hey Wasp!
I can tell you what I used on my outdoor grow when I used buckets. Where I live it is very warm and overly dry; like 15% humidity when it rains. I used 5 gallon buckest with 50% steer manure from home depot and 50% peat moss. I got the big container of peat moss also at home depot for like $11 and the steer manure is about $2 a bag or so. It cost me like $15 for my soil and I still had some left over. (I filled up 5 buckets with this BTW)
I only had to water every weekend, even in the hot month of August. By September I only had to water about every week and a half to every two weeks. The peat moss did a great job of storing water. You can buy the peat at Home Depot or Lowes for about the same price. Same with steer manure.
I did not have to use any nutes until flowering, and I used the fox farm tiger bloom. You can buy it on Amazon, I found mine in a local greenhouse though.

Are there deer where you live? Sure are lots of deer where I am, Home Depot also sells a natural deer repellant. Spray it right around your plants and animals leave it alone. It smells awful but I never had any rabbits or deer bother my plants. It's also safe to spray on the plant in the veg stage, I wouldn't want it on my buds though.

This is just what I have done outdoors using buckets, hope it helps.

Update: On reading the article in this section about miracle grow, one of the fellow growers here mentioned an alternative cheap nutrient. Grow More Sea Grow. Here are a couple links for you, just thought I would share.

Haha yo yo Oreo I'm going with your soil recipe sounds like what I need very dry here and humidity is always a joy here and@ nikavolka are you sure I've read it is multiple places and what's your yield off of it if you don't mind me asking

Sorry for the really late reply.. I got 165g and 121g both grown in 11liter container in organic soil that was started last april. there are many phenotypes 3 that I have found, most common is a typical fast flowering evergreen tree shape, next is the bushy pheno finishes just a few weeks late, and lastly is a very slow flowering pheno with fan leaves twice the size of my hand this pheno is hard to find. They all give a very similar smoke if not the same but they don't even look like the same strain at times.
This strain is a fairly heavy feeder and does not burn very easily, also tolerates cold nights and hot days very well and loves frequent rain showers. This is my main strain that I grow because it is so easy and worry free.
