fluid69 Reviewed by fluid69 on 06-03-2009. Help Me With My First Growbox I need help constructing a growbox, preferrably one that is pretty cheap lol. I've read tons of shit about it, and still confused on many things. Can anyone give me a list of things I will need, and how to set it up? Any help is appreciated. Rating: 5

Your right, a lot of times it may be AWHILE before you need to feed them anything. I didn't start giving mine nutes until almost 2 months in on the last grow. They were nice and green up to then.

I'm thinking now that I might wanna pick up some nutes, any suggestions there?

They say that FoxFarmTrio is a popular one. I just got some fish emulsion and morbloom from Lowe's yesterday that I will be trying on my current blueberry plants. If all goes well I may be continuing with them. Says on the bottles they can be used organically and that's more along the lines I'm trying to go. Maybe not completely organic, but something is better than nothing I suppose. The soil I have is supposed to be organic also, but most of the time there is always something that ruins the organic name.

2 months? :O

This here is more of an experimental grow, just to see if I can be successful. I only plan on vegging for 30-40 days, and then switching to 12/12 lighting schedule to induce flowering. If I don't use nutes during vegging, do I use them during flowering?

Thanks.

Thanks :jointsmile:

Any advice on the nutes or anything?

[fluid69]

hold off on nutes till around 2 weeks or till the little ones have 5 nodes. as far as brands, there's a ton of stuff out there. the fox farms trio is highly recommended, but I've had trouble finding it around here (plus it's a little pricey for this poor white boy). I've been using some cheap stuff @ 1/4 strength, and my little lady's love it. I feed them twice then give ph'd water. so my schedule is feed feed water.

Yeah, so I've heard haha.

I bought some Miracle Gro stuff that I showed in a previous post. I'm just wondering if that would get the job done or not, I'm not sure what to look for in nutes. Nitrogen, Potassium, etc.

npk values are listed in ratios. for example: N:P:K. I was chatting with shake the other day, and he was saying the ideal ratio's for veg were 5:2:3 and for flower were 1:5:4. as far as MG nutes go, some people swear by 'em, and others curse them. you might want to check out italiano's first grow. I'm pretty sure he used MG nutes and his grow was flat out awesome. here's a link to it:
