first time grower

[Psycho4Bud]

What I found to be a good combo is 2 parts potting soil, 1 part peat, and 1 part parrelite (bet I butchered the spelling). I got that lil' formula out of a growers guide and it works great! When ya get your soil, bake it in the oven at 270 for 20 min. to sterilize it. That will get rid of any potential bugs, mold spors, etc.... GOOD LUCK ON THE GROW!!! :thumbsup:

okay i got some miracle grow- moisture control potting soil. about the hps/ mh lights? im fine until im ready to flower right and that should be like 30 days at least frm now rite? im planning on getting them i jus gotta wait till i know exactly what i need and how much it is. anyways im gunna plant the seeds tonite. would it b better to plant them in cups till they sprout or put them in the big pots now. again i have 15 seeds all popped so how many should i plant to find me a couple girls, all of them?
thanks again couldnt do it without u guys

Myself, I use flo's until thier over the sprout period. 2 inches above the plant. When ya go to the MH for 5 wks, I keep them at about 2-2.5 ft (1-400w) Veg time I add on 3-400w HPS and keep em at about the same distance. The room is covered in mylar.....walls, ceiling, floor...

Thats just my method....I'm sure that there's a lot of different success stories out there with a different methods.

If your seeds haved germed put them into some 6 inch pots then after a few weeks where they look stronger, use the SAME soil consistancy and put them into larger pots that will take you through flower. GOOD LUCK ON THE GROW!

Once again, others might have different methods...this is what works for me! :thumbsup:

My advise is read a book and don't use miracle grow soil.You don't want nutes in your soil.
