1st step:how much room.can you grow 1,2,3,4,5,plants,the planters in 1st pic,left to right,are good for soil,i use pro mix BX,ferts is a matter of choice,I use Peters 2nd pic,I use the 3rd planter,3.5 liter,i pre moist the pro mix so it will take water.set it in 5gal bucket,you have your planter ready.the bucket is to catch water,i pour 1 gallon jug of water or ferts as needed,more on this later. STEP 2:Lights,well for the money,the great results,4ft flos,40w cool white plus 3300 lumens,for veg,pic 3 ,low heat,now this is all you need to get your veg: plants going. STEP 3 ,.BEANS ? [most important],i did my frist grow with bag beans,or beans from others,before i bought from kk,to learn: STEP 3 :.. GERM:beans,now this is how i do it,lot of ways,but in pic 4,you see box,glad bowl,paper towels,take paper towel,wet till water [ distilled water]runs out of towel, shake it a little,do not mash the water out,lose to much.put lid of glad bowl down,place towel on lid.[ i use 4 sheets of plain white paper towel folded to fit inside bowl.place beans on towel,cover with 4 more folded towels,cover with bowl on top of lid,place inside box,cover set in warm place,,,i have had 90% to 100% of my beans to germ:KK's beans 100% germ: now this will get you started growing........STEP 5...after germlanting your beans...I put mine in the planter they will grow in,you get better rooting this way,you see 3 planters in 1st pic,i used all 3 so listen,the small one will have to be transplanted,can do if no space,can grow in 2nd one,3rd one great,..place white root tip down in soil about 1x4 to 1x2in do not go below 1x2 in ,water with water only,no ferts,no tap water at this stage,collect rain water,go to creek,lake,branch,spring,if none of these are close by,tap water that has set 48 hours can be used.tap water has to be ph tested,after your babies has come out of soil,you will not have to water for awhile.after plant starts to produce leaves,wait until they start 3rd node,then 1x4 tsp peters 10 50 10 with micro nutes in 1 gallon water,water till runs out bottom of planter,bucket catches water,this keeps salts build up down.this helps to get good root system going,once your plants hit node #5 change to peters 20 20 20 micro nutes,i use 1x4 tsp of ferts every time i water in 1 gal jug....BUT..if your plants start to get to dark green,use plain water time or two will lightin up the leaves to good medium green pic 5,well need to stop for a while back tommorow night,with more.
