I don't really like soil, but I use a nice soil-like substrate.

1/2 Sphagnum Peat Moss (I don't know where you might be able to find peat moss in Scotland Ooh, I could use a nice glass of single-malt highland whiskey right now, something with a speyside fruitiness)

1/2 Pearlite

A good fistfull of dolemetic lime. (It has a neutral PH and helps buffer the PH)
Worm castings or compost can be added to give it nutrients at seedling levels, since it won't have the built-in nutrients of soil.

No chemical ferts for seedlings!!!

This mix makes it hard to over-water, roots love it, and I never get bugs in it like I did when I was using potting soil. Saving money on diatomaceous earth.
Mustelid Reviewed by Mustelid on . Which variety for first timer? (Afghan Kush?) Hi Guys!! I'm doing a bit of research into which variety would be best to suit my first grow and was wondering which variety you guys would recommend? My grow room dimensions are 70cm x 70cm x 120cm (28in x 28in x 3ft) (Although I can go higher 5ft max height of grow room) I will be using 4 x 30watt cfls (equivelant to 4 x 150watts) (600watt total) (WILL THIS BE ENOUGH WATTAGE???)
