I’m going to grow some Satori seeds in soil and want to give them the best start.
I am going to use airpots and a 1m x1m x2m grow tent with a 400 watt metal halide for veg and a 600 watt hps for flower.
I was wondering what basics those who have grown Satori can recommend?
What size pot- 10L or 15L?
I would like to have about 2 or 3 Satori and a total of 6 plants in the tent. Does that sound alright?
What soil and soil pH to use?
Mandala has some unusual recommendations about soil types and seems to promote pre-fertilized generic soils like Miracle Gro and warns against some of the well known soils like Canna and Bio Bizz.
Their philosophy seems to be to use more pre-fertilized soils and then use little or no added nutes during the grow to reduce mistakes and make growing easier, but buying generic pre-fertilized garden center soils may have the wrong mix of nutrients for pot compared to some more dedicated nute solutions sold with growing pot in mind.
Maybe using a low-fert Canna soil and Canna nutes would provide better nutrition than using MiracleGro pre-fertilized soil and only watering for the first couple of months? I don’t know. I’m tempted to follow the exact recommendations of the people who bred the strain.
How long before you can see the sex of the plant?
How long for flowering?
What sort of watering and feeding schedule?
What sort of temp and humidity to aim for?
Satori is supposed to be a very light feeder and I am aware that airpots will tend to dry out quicker.
I may use a variety of airpots and regular square pots to see if they make any difference.
Thanks to any Satori growers for advice.
