my medium is hydroton when i move the babies right now we have them in miracle grow with nutes . We did have them in vermiculite to start but were havin some problems so we transfered the babies into this miracle grow with nutes for now and oh man the exploded in 2 days doubled the water leaves and shedded the stem to a lucious green lookin good so far i think lol this is first grow will be posting more pics today . will be using a pure blend product for food when transfered . HEY SUPER SKUNK WHATS UP MAN question for ya how many you think i could get away with growing under these lights there the larger lumen output cf's they produce very close to what 1 400w hps puts out and i will have 3 - 325 lumen regular cool white floros under them when they get a lil taller was hoping to do at least 6 in there maybe 8 do u think it is possible . My buddy wants to change to soil being this our first grow but i wanna use the hydro method . We have a old time grower helpin us he has quite the bit of knowledge but i always like a few more opinions would it be easier to grow in the soil or hydro for new growers . we also just threw in 2 cali orange and 2 shiva shanti last night will be posting more pics tonight all veiwers welcomed . Super get back to me on that man .
