SuperThrive is available in the US at most garden centers. It's in each of the four little shops nearest me here in the northeast US. Or you can find it online. Just do a Google search. It's for all plants, not just MJ, so it's safe to have delivered to your grow address. It often comes in a tiny brown bottle with goofy 1950's graphics on the packaging. While looking, you can also buy your ferts for later in flowering at the same store: Schultz Cactus Juice 1-7-6. This is just my recommendation from my experience. It's my sole fert for my flowering stage.

Don't even think about nutes for a few weeks. When you repot, most people recommend NOT using Miracle Grow soil. It's full of time release ferts. I use Pro Mix, which is filled with good organic stuff. A safe bet is to pick a fairly expensive (you know, like $7 instead of $4) bag of potting soil. With Pro Mix, I don't need to think about ferts until the third week of life.

And people also stay away from Miracle Grow ferts because they are just not good for MJ, in their opinion. A young plant needs the high nitrogen and will flourish with organic ferts like bat guano. AKA bat shit. It sounds exotic, but you can buy it online everywhere. I buy it on eBay. Just type in bat guano and look for 11-1-1, or 10-2-1, or anything very close. A 1lb bag is fine. Basically, just take a tablespoon and drop it into a two litre bottle and let it stand for a bit. That's bat guano tea. Just pour it on. It's a safe fert, as well. Hard to screw up and burn with organics, in my experience. Your plants will green up like a lightning storm just went through.

The lava rock goes at the bottom of the new pot. Not a huge deal, but it has been shown to be successful.

And misting is great. They love it. It's a nice time spent being hands on with your plants.

They'll also need a name. It's actually mandatory that on this board to get any advise, plants must have names. OR WE'LL NAME THEM MALE NAMES! 8*)

How long do you plan to veg before flower? And will you be buying an HPS light? CFL's will get you a little bud...spending $150 or so will get you ounces of bud. But if you are keeping it basic for this go round and odds are just so-so for females anyway, I don't think you'll be shot for not going with HPS or MH right now...I recommend it, but it's your call...
