I know that blueberry isn't the greatest strain for beginners, but I happened to get some free seeds and I would like to give it a shot. Anyways I am planning a small grow in a closet and I would like to get some things straight, I have read a bunch of grow guides and still I am not too sure on how things work. So I would like to get some advice from experienced green thumbs, and before anybody decides to criticize my questions I want you to know that I understand the basics of growing, I just want to make sure I get it right cuz good stuff is really hard to come by around here(I am so tired of dirt weed!), and these potential plants mean a lot to me. I just want to make sure they grow up to be pretty and plentiful.

1. What size pots should I use for the plants?
2. I plan on using soil from wal-mart that is suppose to feed plants for up to three months, is there any way this soil will last till harvest time without giving the plants fertilizer or nutrients?
3. If it the soil won't work that way, what type of nutrients do I need to buy and where do I get them?
4. I plan on using a 400 watt fluorescent light for at least four plants in a small closet layered with reflectix insulation, will that work or do I need to hatch a new plan?
5. Does the strain blueberry require any special growing methods or care?

Any advice will be much appreciated.

i say if you really want to grow some primo bud you buy some fox farm ocean forest soil and some light warrior potting mix. you mix the 2 together and your plants will reward you in the long run. also your going to need to use some fertilizers. i use fox farm grow for when they are in the veg state then i use cns 17 for the bloom. so far everything is working for me. but seriously try to invest in some good soil. i grew with miracle grow soil before and it was not nearly as good as the stuff im telling you about. and buy different sized pots. start small for seedlings and re pot as they get bigger. check the plants to see how root bound they are and re pot accordingly. right now i personally re pot my plants 3-4 times thorught the grow cycle. but im still new to this but this seems to be working. you can see some nutrients here and maybe order from them but i have never tried them out i go to my local hydro store.

Where can I find some of that fox farm ocean forest soil at, sounds interesting. Does that whole re potting your plants 3-4 times actually work good for you? From what I have read your not supposed to re pot your plant more than once, it supposedly puts your plant into shock. I wouldn't know though cuz I'm working on my first grow, so no experience at all.
