The promix HP has lime already. With the volume that your talking about you’ll probably want a good quality soil pH probe. Promix like any other product can vary from bag to bag.

I was adding the lime since this is a mix for next years outdoor..

Ill explain better.. I veg indoors from oct til may in 7 gal pots, once the end of may comes along I then transplant outdoor into pre dug holes ive already made, so outside in these holes that are dug already has about 45 gal of used soil, a bit less after cleaning them out.. So I was looking to mix the lime in it to refresh the older soil..

Usually I just replace all the soil and start fresh with liquid nutrients but this year I am trying to make it easier and more cost efficient for myself.

But this is why I am posting here so I make sure I do it right from the start since I only get 1 harvest a year.. Im fully open to everyones advice and more than appreciate.the help

This year I ran Remo nutrients and its just been a mess, between mixing what feels like an endless amount of 1 gal bottles and having to replace them a lot more often then I like to, I am looking for an easier and cheaper sollution

7-8 month veg in 7g pots?How does that work?

I start them in 1 gal pots for about the 1st month so it about 6 months in 7 gal pots but come may they have kinda filled in the pots pretty much.

No that would be way more then I can handle or feel comfortable with, I dont need that many as this is just a personal garden.. I have 8 pre dug holes, 1 bale per hole.. Holes are about 3ft deep/3ft wide

Yeah it usually gets snow here in nov/dec and the ground is warmed up around may/june

Without knowing all the details of your situation I can’t help but think your strategy is a little off. Vegging that long in doors for sure would out grow a 7 gallon pot. I assume you don’t have much light when indoors. If you have space to cook all this soil approx 70 gallons then your off to a good start. Do you have bins and a warm spot to cook all this?

I would go indoor flowering again but I already did that for over 10 years and it was a constant fight with the wife for me to continue that way, so we agreed that I can veg inside but have to flower outside. She does not consume nor does she enjoy being around cannabis, instead of hearing her complain so much it kinda forced me to become an outdoor farmer

I really havent had issues with vegging for 6 month in 7 gal pots, by the time the go outside they take to it just fine.. I run 2 600w hid and I have those big 55 gal garbage bins/ drums that the mix will cook in

Do you have any pictures of your grows?Different stages etc?
2 600W lights cover about a 6 x 12' area.How big is your veg space?

 

[Playk328]

I have plenty of containers and more then enough space as I have a full basement that is my area and outside we live on several acres of land

My veg room is 10x13, i just went and measured it to confirm.. My veg room seems fine as they dont completely fill out the whole room but they do get a bit big towards the end

 

[Playk328]

Off my veg room i have another huge room, around 13 x 40 mancave where I will cook the soil

How tall are these plants when you take them outside?

 

[Playk328]

How tall are these plants when you take them outside?

3-4ft+ tall ish, thats after they already been lst/topped so they are bushes.. They are not tiny and even now outside I have a few over that 7ft+ mark trained in cages.. I have a sativa"black gdp haze" that Im concerned may have problems with but it was an expirement so we shall see.. I have some bluecity diesel that swallows me up when im tending to them, same with the blackdosifire, they are not closet grown sized plants, they are bushes..

 

[Playk328]

Its well more then I will smoke b4 next years harvest, even after extracts, edibles and gifting away some to family and friends but again I get 1 harvest a year so I make sure Im good to go between harvest/curring rounds
