Question about soil and seed phase...

Hey guys,

Just received my Gorilla 9x9 full grow tent kit from Fullbloom hydroponics @ 4,995$ USD.

Everything is setup for a 24 plants grow, but for the feminized seeding process I installed the 52 small pots for now. I will be starting with 35 fem seeds and keep the best plants to then transplant them into the 24 big pots. I will throw away the male plants and sell the weak fem plants.

I still am trying to find the best soil and nutes I will need for the phases of growing, can you guys please help me? As for now, the light patterns I will use are:

Seed -> Plant = 24/0
Plant -> Veg = 24/0
Veg -> Flowering = 12/12

For Seed -> Plant I will be using 4' small pots with Miracle-Gro soil mix for seeds, but I have no idea about the soil I will need for transplantation and the nutes i'll need to mix with the water contained in my hydroponic system...

Any help folks..? :/

If you have a hydro set up then you would be better off starting the seeds off in rockwool cubes/root riots/coco plugs etc, it saves you having to wash all the soil off the roots before you put it into the hydro setup.

also MG soil can be a little hot for seedlings and may burn them, plus having a hydro setup you shouldnt need any soil

We are very happy that you will be throwing out the Feminized Males ...good 2 know!

Seed -> Plant = 24/0
Plant -> Veg = 24/0 go 18./6 the roots need to work too ...study more

4 inch pots will make life easier, leave the 4' foot ones until you have experience, add 30% perlite to the fox farm or Miracle grow soil to prevent nute burn and compaction

to my blog ans study some more

Soil and hydro don't mix. If using fem seeds, why the mention of males? If you sprout 35 fem seeds, you should net 30 usable plants mininum.

I do not mean to sound mean. But you should start out smaller with a few plants and learn your shit. You are going to end up with a bunch of plants showing different issues and going nuts.

IMHO , step one is learning to be comfortable with a grow. Then figure out the best plan to go larger. Again, no offense, but from reading this one post I would guess you will end up disappointed, stressed, and bald(er)...
