balcony on the equater, getting started
Hi all,
Well I've made some progress, hit a few bumps in the road and I need some advice on stuff I can't figure out googling.
I had my first 3 plants die within 2 weeks due to I believe insufficient light - it had all the symptoms. My next three are doing much better after two weeks, now using 1400w 6500K CFL's during the nite hours, moving them in the morning to be on the inside of some of the balconies sliding glass doors. Getting around 18-20 hours total of lite.
One decision I made was to use slightly bigger starter planters, I'd say about 36 fluid ounces. The idea is that way I'll only have to transplant once, after 5 weeks of veg, and more two weeks of 12 / 12 for 7 weeks total.
Two things I need help on:
1) One of my plants has different soil. I found a new, better informed plant place and I showed them both types of soil I bought somewhere else. Turns out the soil I´m using for one plant is for humidity control of some sort - feels dusty - and doesn't have any starter nutrients. I got some organic soil, looks good. Should I try transplanting it into the better soil now or should I wait?
2) I'm in Brazil and basically my options are very limited on most things, including fertilizer. I got what I could get, 10-10-10 for veg and 4-14-8 for flowering. It came in like a small rock form though, and when I asked how to dilute it, I was told to put it in the soil. Told me a tablespoon for a 5 gallon size container is about right. I was planing on diluting it and using it on every other watering. Not sure what to do now, any advice?
