few questions about transplanting and soil use

[Eshelmen]

I am of course new at this but i`ve been reading alot and stumbled across a seed right now that i`m germinating


I have the equipment but not sure its the right soil

First off about the soil what do i need exactly in it..

is there a simple brand like miracle grow i need to use

and cant i just put the seed when its germinated in a regular big size pot?

why wont that work

thanks all

please dont spam me

dont use mirical grow it has slow realease ferts in it.the better the soil the beeter results you will get,plagron,john innes or foxfarm are a few but dont use miricle grow its not any good unless you know how to feed using it.and yes you can just put the germinated seed straight into a 3 gallon pot but the plant grows better imo if it is in a small pot when in seedling and then a 2 gallon for veg and into a 3 gasllon for flower this prevents the roots becoming bound this may not happen when it goes straight into a 3 gallon but it has been known to happen so better stick to what you read when you start out as you will get better results and remember its fun so enjoy it .hope this helps the postman.

He also had to ajust hid ph to stop the acidity from locking out the nutes.

Make sure it's a nutral ph. And it will be fine.

i just went to osh and found some 20-20-20 peters professional plant food

good? no?

Many swear against chemical fertilizer, but I used Peters 20-20-20 and it worked fine tho I mixed it at the concentration for household plants and fed every 3rd watering. No burning.
