I have White wash, v2, blueberry X lowryder, master chronic and a few others! Ok heres the thing, I am getting ready to get my new apartment and I just got a huge shipment of everything I need to start growing including a portable grow room named the Hydohut, it is 52in X 52in X 7ft, I have a 400W HPS for flowering and a 125 W CFL with awesome reflector for mama and her clones, all I need is now a medium and nutes, I dont want to do hydro but I still want to use a soiless medium, any suggestions on mediums and nutes would greatly appreciated, I am probably gonna go with Advanced Nutrients Organic but I know I will have to mix in some dolomite lime because it is supposed to ph 8 which is way to high but it produces a bigger yield when done correctly and hopefully I can figure it out even though I dont know a damn thing about feeding, I have a larger than needed carbon or charcoal can, its huge so hopefully that will eliminate smell, I it was expensive, it is top of the line cant remember the name, I got these time release fizz pucks for CO2, they last 8 hours, I have all the seeds that were listed so if anyone has grown one of them before let me know what she likes and dislikes, so far I have spent 2500 and still need a few things, I have 9 huge boxes full of growing supplies and all are brand new just got here two days ago, I have everything I need I think besides pots, medium, and nutes, let me know what seeds and medium and nutes I should use, sorry got baked and wrote a book, just excited to get this going and I know I asked alot but I truely would appreciate all the knowledge and opinions of all you on here, thanks for your time and effort to help me out, what you do for me I will try to do for you as I learn and grow for my trial and errors, I hope to make long time acquaintances and respect all the veterans and people who help me become the cannabis botanist I want to be! Thanks again!!!

Sounds like you let the guy at the hydro store talk you into buying alot :D

Got really bored after about "fizz pucks for CO2" so I answered the lack of a question with an answer.

I use a soiless mix of 1/3 vermiculite,1/3 perlite and 1/3 coco (or use peat moss).

It works great!

Soil with perlite=most forgiving and very popular medium, easy to work with. Coco=most popular right now and supposedly very easy medium to work with, needs PH testing and nutes with a different PH.

We'll avoid hydroponics for the time being.
