Yes im using the ocean forest soil, is it not acceptable to just start in 3 gallon pots after my clones root? I didnt want to stress the plants out by multiple transplants.Thanks for the suggestion on the book i am going to chekc that out and i did grab the trio from my local hydro store.

I will always recommend the transplants. Over watering is an issue with placing a little plant in a big pot among some others. Read some of the grow logs on here and you will see why I recommend it. If you introduce new soil throughout the grow, it usually means the less nutes you have to add. The less you have to add the better in my book. Once you start adding a bunch of nutes instead of transplanting, you start getting buildups that cause issues. Sure you can flush and start over but by the time you do all of that, wouldnt it have just been easier and cheaper to transplant every 6 to 8 weeks? Ive been pretty rough at transplanting at times and never have had any problems. Now dont get me wrong, Ive seen people go straight into a big pot with excellent results. What might work great for me might not be your thing. To each their own. I was just explaining why i work my way up to the 3 gal. Good Luck

Ok i am new as it seems everyone is at one point or another i had a few questions i would like answered, i searched a little bit but i was looking for more direct answers than what i have found, so here it goes. 1.

How often should i add nutrients/fertilizer? do i just mix it in with my main water source and add everytime i water? or should i just add 2-3 times a week. 3. I Rating: 5
