The only thing i tried using was alaskan fish emulsions, maybe i didnt use enough... i put 1 tbl spoon in a gallon of distilled water and watered the pots untill they started leaking from the holes. I had bought a bag of hyponex before (potting soil) Is the on you got potting or top soil? Im still in the process of getting all the things i need to start a small personal MJ grow. I have..

1: Different size pots.
2:Bag of perilite
3:Organic Potting Soil.
4:Superthrive
5:Fish emulsions 5-1-1
6:Moisture meter
7:Lots of CFL and tube floros for vegging (will use hps to flower)
8:shultz takeroot (if i decide to do clones.)

Is there anything else you can add to this list? My newbie checklist
