You don't have to go organic, that is for sure. Sounds like your soil mix is ok.. Green mojo to you. Have fun and enjoy the learning experience.

Johny, what up bro? You pop in starting crap and gettin your pebbles all bright and red. Especially in the no cellphone pic thread. You got something you need to get off your chest? No need for the negative energy...pack a bowl, fire it up and relax.

I would honestly stay away from the Miracle Grow line period. Its just not MJ friendly. Youre better off buying the general hydroponics 3 part line of nutes if you can. like hamster lewis suggested their reall easy to use good for beginners and relly cheap. Green mojo friend.

 

[HighBrixMMJ]

Oh and marine based fertilizers are great but i wouldnt suggest putting a dead bluegill in your pot of soil. if you wanted to bury it in some soil and let it break down organically, dead fish can make for some pretty potent soil once its been degraded enough but that could take a year or two. Better yet you could buy some fox farm ocean forest soil and it has all that already in it and its been sterilized. which is very important when it comes to pests.

guys my soil mixture is organic compost, peat humus, sand, composted and aged softwood bark fines, and perlite. i thought this would be good considering all tht i have read about mj. it works pretty well considering how cheap it was premaid.i had a chance to see my roots on this lil one when i transplanted and they looked strong bad thing was i had it in cup for lil too long. what are your opinions on this energy efficiant lights i found they are mushroom shaped bulbs 150w they give off 5k lumens. i was thinking of getting 2 of those for blooming.

I don't know exactly what you are talking about here, but those bulbsa do not sound good. A 150W bulb that only puts out 5000 would be a very expensive type to run. For instance, it would take 4 of these to get to the 20,000 lumens you need. Lighting needs are figured by lumens per sq ft, so it does not matter how many plants you have in your space, you need to light the entire space. Four of these bulbs would give you 20,000 lumens but would use 600W doing it. Compare this to a 250W HPS that will emit 25,000-28,000 lumens. Or a 600W HPS that puts out 90,000-95,000 lumens. Get a HPS for flowering. You are also going to need ventilation. I wouldn't use anything MG, especially that leaf shine stuff--it just coats the leaves with a shiny substance to make the leaves look better--I do not believe that it is beneficial to the plant in any way.

You can make organic teas quite inexpensively, if you want to stay organic. Do not put a dead fish in your soil. Besides needing ti8me to break down, I cannot tell you how much this would smell and attract pests. Some old-timers have good advise....some don't.

hey guys thank you for all the info, on supplies and lights im excited to go find some. and i knew there was somethin fishy to the fish thing lol. but he does it and u should see his stocks! he has one female whos stock is almost as thick as my wrist! love old heads they can teach alot i think im going to look into tht ocean soil. and possibly to a complete turn around on this lil one i have now.

 

[lovedenugs]

and hemp goddess i thought 15 npk would be good for vegging cause this site says 20npk for vegging...

 

[The Hemp Goddess]

For vegging, you want something with a higher K and N and less P. The Flora Nova grow I use is 7-4-10. Where does it say to use 20-20-20 for vegging?

 

[lovedenugs]

go to growing rescorces and then go to marijuanapassionfreeguide. its under vegitative growth.
