Your medium:
.7) Specific brand and type of soil, (coco, peat based soilless...) and anything you've added to it. (vermiculite, perlite, worm castings...)-Generic potting soil mixed with 25% miracle grow soil and about 10% manure compost and worm castings.
.8) Size of container.-Various sizes from 5-15 gallon
.9) Did you use peat pucks (or similar) to root clones or germinate seedlings? 14 seedlings and six clones.
Your nutrients and water:
10) Source of water? TAP(tap, bottled or filtered) What's it's ph before adjusting? 6.5
11) Method of checking water ph. (ph pen, test strips, aquarium test kit...) Aquarium
12) Method of adjusting water ph. (phosphoric acid, white vinegar, hydrated lime, PH Up...) Vinegar
13) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per gallon) and current feeding schedule. Unsure at this point, hopefully enough nutes in soil to start.
14) How often are you watering between feedings, and how much per watering? 3 days
15) Any additives or tea's? (Superthrive, CalMag, molasses, Mother's Earth...) Not yet
16) Are your ph levels stable, or do they fluctuate? STABLE
17) What is your ingoing water's ph? ...your runoff ph? UNSURE
18) Do you foliar feed? If so, with what, how often, and at what time do you spray? YES WEEKLY WITH DILUTED MIRACLE GROW AND A PINCH OF EPSOM SALTS
Your growroom:
19) Indoors or outdoors? OUTDOORS
Your strain:
23) What strain are you growing? (Indica dominate or Sativa dom?) Mostly Sativa
24) From seeds or clones? Both
25) Is this an autoflower strain? NO

I'm just looking for feedback, these plants will grow in an area that should get 100% sunshine from noon until about an hour before sunset. I have them in various sized containers because they can't grow taller then the fence, the smallest plants were transplanted into the largest containers and visa versa.
Soil is generic walmart potting soil(12 cub. ft) one large bag of miracle grow potting soil, about 9 gallons of soil from plants I started but died within a week last year all mixed together with about a 1/4 bag of manure compost and about 5 lbs of worm castings. Mixed into this soil is another approx. 20+ gallons of small sized washed lava rock.
I'm hoping the medium has enough nutrients to last at least the next month or two before I have to add anything to it. When I need to add nutrients I'll probably go with a manure/worm casting/seaweed blend oxygenated overnight along with 50% diluted miracle grow.
I can't say I have had much luck the past two years for various reasons, tried indoor this spring but honestly don't like the hassle and the end result was less then impressive for what I had to work with.
My buddy tossed me some seeds that have sprouted into 2 ft tall monsters in 32 oz cups, I was quite impressed with their growth pattern during the two weeks of nice sun we had. I've been transplanting for the past week so we'll see how it goes. Maybe once I get everything set I'll take some pic's, a couple of the transplants are in a bit of shock right now but I'm not too concerned, they were well overdue but I was simply unable to get them done until this week and didn't expect that kind of growth in those cups.
