Abattoir Dream: another name I've become familiar with. Thanks for pointing out the need to start them in something else. I forget that a plant growing from seeds has plenty of nutes in the seed. Since this is the case, planting them directly into the soil after germ might not be a good idea then? Another question: If the potting soil I've chosen is enough to feed the plants for three months, and I don't start them i that soil, how can I parse the plant of the nutes before harvest. I don't want any harsh smoke (right now I'm smoking on a bag of the worst burning weed ). Or do you think it won't be that big of a deal.

You guys are great. i'm glad to have some professional growers lending me a helping hand. I love how you guys pass on the knowledge so freely, as it should be. Keep passing the info, cause i know you've got it.
yes, seedlings store all the nutes they need in the FIRST round leaves (cotelydons) so never cut them off lol.
If you use the miracle grow soil with your plants its a good idea to vegg. for at least 2 months, that way another month of flowering (when nute. uptake is increased) should in theory clear the rest out, if you want to be real safe vegg for three months in that soil and flush every three weeks, when your plants start turning a lighter shade of green start feeding it the other nutes you have all through flowering, that way you can cut nutes completely a week previous to harvest, if i were you i'd try and mix some normal compost with the MG compost for added effect.
Whatever you need help with i will try to answer as best i can, and im glad your such an eager learner, however im not really a proffesional grower, but as long as i can type, i will pass on what i know, It's all for the cause

Good luck man, and remember your plants dont work for you, you work for them
Abattoir Dream Reviewed by Abattoir Dream on . Getting ready to start Hey you guys! I just got some seeds from Nirvana (Their "Nirvana Special" White strain). I have a 400 watt hps/mh conversion system. I also have 2 cfl's 30 watts that I plan on using for cloning http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=44433-3-29392&lpage=none. I will be growing in a closet for stealth. I need help on deciding what other items I will be using for my grow. Right now I have the Organic potting mix from Miracle Grow, and I was wandering if that would work ok. Rating: 5
