Is This Mix OK for AF Dwarf strains / Indoors

Hi Everyone,

I'm going to grow two AF dwarf strains in a BC Northern Lights Bloom Box - Low Ryder 2 and Blue Himalayan.

Here is my rough grow plan - any comments / suggestions / alterations would be greatly appreciated and accepted !

I have a BC Northern Lights Bloom box so I'm going to start off the seeds in the Veg side in a Heated Propagator for two weeks under the veg light on an 18/6, gradually opening the propagator vents more and more until fully open. I'm going to put the seeds into 4 inch cutouts just containing Peat Moss.

So my first major question is .......During this two week period is the peat moss alone ok (along with two day old PH Adjusted Tap Water) or do I need to add a mild nute during their first two weeks ?? If so I was thinking of a mild tea with Compost, Worm Castings and Sea Bird Guano.

After two weeks I was going to transfer them to the flowering side again on 18/6 with a HPS 400w Light (the Bloom Box can only be set to 18/6 or 12/12 and NOT 20/4)

THe Soil mix will be Peat Moss, Perlite, Vermiculite, Sea Bird Guano, Coco, Dolomite Lime, Worm Castings and Bat Guano. I have to make this up myself as here in Uruguay stuff like Fox Farm is just not available.

THe plan is to make it two weeks before use to let it 'get to work' and maybe add some molassess to activate it

I'm hopeful that once transplanted I won't need to add anything other than the two day old PH Adjusted tap water and if any deficiencies appear then do a tea with bat guano - or.....should I be giving them flowering nutes anyway (like Bat Guano) even with this proposed soil mix.

Also, if anyone has any comments about the percentages for each of my proposed ingredients for the main soil mix that would be great to !

For 6 x 6.5 litre pots (total of 39 litres) someone has suggested this:

Perlite 13 L
Vermiculite 6.5 L
Worm Castings 6.5 L
Peat Moss 6.5 L
Coco Fibre 6.5 L

Bat Guano 2 Cups
Bird Guano 2 Cups
Domolite Lime 2 Tablespoons

Would really appreciate any comments on whether or not this is a good mix to go with - THANKS !
