Just follow the directions. mine started to flower then i started using Vega. They quickly doubled in size and flower volume. now in week 4 of flowering and alternating between vega and thrive flower & fruit. every 3-4 days as they are in small pots. Ill throw up some pics soon.

    Questions about Nutrients and soil for 1st grow

    This is when they first started to flower. The previous pics are 4 weeks later.Attachment 290737Attachment 290738
    The soil is a cheap organic mix from bunnings. I think about $15 for 25L bag.

    Questions about Nutrients and soil for 1st grow

    Hey guys,

    Sorry to intrude, but I'm new too. I'm gonna start my garden in a couple weeks. I have some questions of my own.

    1.) how would you germinate? I was going to use a paper towel. Is it better to put it in a plastic bag? How does soaking it in tap water in the dark work? I was just gonna leave them in my drawer so no light gets in. Then place it in rock wool.

    2.) once in rockwool, do I put it in sun or keep watered and in the dark til it breaks the surface? I was gonna put it on my window sill once it broke the surface. Then I was going to put it in a gallon milk container cut in half til I think it's outgrown it. Then just cut the bottom out so it just falls into my had to place it in a 5 gal bucket.

    3.) when does vegetative growth and flowering stage take place?

    4.) lastly, I will post pics of fertilizers next time, but I have the following ratios... 8-16-8
    13-7-13
    19-6-12
    12-55-6
    10-10-10
    12-4-8 miracle gro all purpose

    When do I use these, if any?

    I figured veg growth was just the time from a seedling til it hits flowering which is when the pistils emerge.
    More questions soon to come. Thank you for any and all advice in advance!

    Questions about Nutrients and soil for 1st grow

    Hey guys,

    Sorry to intrude, but I'm new too. I'm gonna start my garden in a couple weeks. I have some questions of my own.

    It's usually better to start your own thread but this subject is ok as information is helpful to all who want to read it. Where the hell did that sticky from Stinkyattic on thread-jacking go?

    1.) how would you germinate? I was going to use a paper towel. Is it better to put it in a plastic bag? How does soaking it in tap water in the dark work? I was just gonna leave them in my drawer so no light gets in. Then place it in rock wool.

    Seeds in damp, not soaking wet papertowel, in a baggie on top of the refrigerator (looking for 80ºF +/-)

    2.) once in rockwool, do I put it in sun or keep watered and in the dark til it breaks the surface? I was gonna put it on my window sill once it broke the surface. Then I was going to put it in a gallon milk container cut in half til I think it's outgrown it. Then just cut the bottom out so it just falls into my had to place it in a 5 gal bucket.

    Rockwool? Are you going to grow all the way in Rockwool? Ok, then put it in the sun/window. For a container something that blocks the light is necessary so algae won't grow.

    3.) when does vegetative growth and flowering stage take place?

    Indoors flowering is when you change the lights on time to 12 hours.

    4.) lastly, I will post pics of fertilizers next time, but I have the following ratios... 8-16-8
    13-7-13
    19-6-12
    12-55-6
    10-10-10
    12-4-8 miracle gro all purpose

    When do I use these, if any?

    I don't know. Numbers don't mean a lot from one brand to another. Higher Nitrogen (first number) for vegging, lower N for blooming.


    I figured veg growth was just the time from a seedling til it hits flowering which is when the pistils emerge.

    That is the sign of maturity, along with the branches changing from coming out opposite each other to alternating from side to side. Pistils are a sign of pre-flowering.

    More questions soon to come. Thank you for any and all advice in advance!

    Start your own thread or else you'd be thread-jacking and screwing up this thread.
