Yep I was referring to the P3. Looking forward to hearing how 4" of weird looking stick things stuck in the soil turns out. Looking at that dude's website for the stuff it sure looks promising!

The thread was deleted amd brought back but all original photos were wiped from existance. Had no backups on my pc... when I start my dose I will start to update that. But with the issues this website is having lately ive had a hard time staying here and updating any of my threads.

Hey guys I was on here with questions a little while back, never got to start my first grow yet, but should have it going tonight or tomorrow night. I went to a hydro store and told the guy I was a beginner and wanted to go organic and he recommended the full General Organics line. I was gonna buy the kit that comes with all the products in it. I read this entire thread before but it's been awhile, so has anyone used this full line? And what was your schedule and results? The guy gave me a little pamphlet with feeding instructions that General Organics suggests but I didn't know how much I should follow that. Also do you guys think I need anything to go with it?

Also my lights were given to me by a family member that no longer uses them and he said I should get new ones even if they still work cuz they should be replaced like once a year or they don't help grow as much. He also suggested going with a Hortilux bulb for my flowering bulb and said it was worth being 3 times the amount or whatever it was but said it didn't make much of a difference for the vegging bulb. What do you guys think about this stuff?

I decided to get the Hortilux Eye bulb as well. I am happy with it.

The 600W bulbs are more expensive than the 1000W ones though (!).

...have not used the GO line myself.

Good luck,

JD

I have been using X nutrients with Budcandy, silica and hygrozyme. Dosage from the chart cut in 1/2. In soil and my plants love it.

I give them fresh water every other feeding. I transplant clones into cups with soil. Next transplant is coco 2 gallon with compost and bacteria. Final transplant is back into soil.

Straight water for the first 2 weeks with some calmag and budcandy for the calcium draw in the coco. AACT brewed monthly. Bloombastic is a great booster. x nutrients is only 25 bucks a gallon and is a 2 part. Try it and thank me later. KISS (keep it simple stupid)

Thanks Stew, that's exactly what I was gonna get to start with! Was thinking about making my own amended soil instead but your results I think I might just go this way with some FFOF.

I wouldnt suggest using ffof as a beginner. You'll burn your ladies... try somethin inert for your first time. This will help trust me. Sunshine mix #4 is what I use. But ProMix HP is pretty much the same thing. With a few added ammendments.

There is also Coco coir.

I don't suggest readygro mix because of the compost. It usually comes with bugs and you get all sorts of issues. I had thrips last grow from it. Amd gnats the time before.

Oh ok I was thinking I would start in these Rapid Rooter plugs in a plug tray with a dome lid on it and then once they were sprouted and to the top of the dome put them in plain FFOF with just water for awhile and then start adding to it once they were a good size.

That could work as long as they are in RR plugs long enough.... you'll need the light close enough to keep them stacked and not stretched.... and wait till week 2-3 before nutes... personally I feel that may stress the plant more than its worth. But neither of the 2 i mentioned is cheap to use. I use Sunshine because its cheaper than promix. But I also wash and reuse when I can.

All my soil I use now started off ass FFOF. It's great stuff new and recyled.

I would say all my soil is recycled now, no new FFOF. Every time I fill my tote I'll add amendments, so I really wouldn't consider it FFOF anymore lol.

Well I'm not completely set on anything yet all I have bought so far is this light stand kit to use in early stages that has a draw string to raise and lower the T5 grow light that came with it, RR plugs, the tray for starting and a timer. I believe that's all, I already ballasts with MH and HPS bulbs, though I'll probably buy new bulbs since I was told they don't work as well once they've been used for like a year. But my point is I'm not set on a soil or anything yet and just wanna go in whatever direction will be better for and easier on my plants and of course not too complicated for a first timer.
