well, the more i read, the more it seems wize to go with a soiless mix


i have floramicro/bloom/grow on the way, also superthrive; that's all i have as of now.

i'll add perlite to the soilless mix to aerate, and i'll use a bit more perlite at the top to let the germinating seed's little roots push through

question: since there are no nutrients in the dirt, when do i start adding nutes? i'm thinking it would be necessary to add a very weak amount early on? the seed can only live on it's internal embryonic goodies for so long i imagine

seed is northern lights from nirvana

will crack seeds in water, then germinate in soil in 1gal pots, under cfl's at first. will run cfl's all day because they'll need the heat anyway.


i also read someone suggesting to use a soil with nutes in most of the pot, and then just fill up the last inch or so with soiless; do you think this would be better for a first time grower?


my main concern right now is germination rate, followed by keeping conditions comfortable so as not to stress plants to male/hermie
