Could any of you help me and give me an idea of exactly what kind of soil and fertilizer I need.

Also any insite on the best ways to take care of them in soil would be appreciated [i/e lowering/raising PH, preventing burn and deficiencies]

I use supersoil mixed 50/50 with perlite. Water from tap. Good, fast drainage with good results. As far as fertilizer, I've been using Miracle Gro 20-20-20 at 1/2 strength with good results, too. Many different opinions on both of those...just my 2 cents.

Hey, how ya doin'?

First off, nothing personal ~good ol daze~ but I would tend to disagree with your advice...and I'm not even a soil grower (I'm not a grower period, but I've sure read a lot). Most of the advice you will find around here will steer you clear of the Miracle grow. Perlite and/or Vermiculite will be good, however. I would tend to also advise against using tap water, in place of inexpensive, but very reliable R/O or distillied water.

Do a little more reading up in the Basic Growing section, this Section and the FAQs. After a couple of hours, you will find WAY more info than you will find sitting waiting for people to respond to your post. Then after that, with a little more fundamental knowlegde, we can tackle the tougher questions. :thumbsup:

Couple of questions for ya:

What kind of seeds do you have?

What kind of space do you intend on using? Cab/Closet??

What kind of lighting are you aiming for? CFLs or HIDs?

How much weed do you smoke every day? ;)


Good luck on your grow, man. Go enlighten yourself. :D:D:D:

P.S. Here's a quick pic of 'our' auxiliary flowering cab. Not bad for some test-clones that we plannaed to throw away in the first place. ;) :thumbsup:

Well this isnt my first grow, Ive grown before using hydroponics, but hydroponics is much easier because you automatically adjust things.

Ive got super silver haze (usualy veg for 45 days from seed and flower for 9 to 10 weeks)

I have a cab that measures 2Lx4Wx6H

I have two flurescent lights, 45W each for vegging, and I have a 600 watt HPS light for flowering
