first time noob needs help

[newbie213]

ok I potted and planted my seeds they are about a week old so far and doing great only question I have is I bought MG orchid potting mix and it say that it feeds for up to six months does this mean that I will not need nutes? if not where exactly can I buy good cheap nutes

 

[GOD HERE]

What it means is that you should've done more research because it's obvious you have no idea what you're doing.

1. Don't use miracle gro. It's not meant for cannabis, use Fox Farm soils or a similar product.
2. Yes you will need nutes if you want decent plants.
3. Most people use Fox Farm's Grow Big, Big Bloom, and Tiger Bloom. You can get these at your local hydroponics shop or amazon.

Go peruse the forum for a couple hours, otherwise you're gonna have a bad time.

ok you can transplant mate, don't worry it doesn't hurt just don't rip the roots in half, get some better soil, as that Jesus guy said that soil is "hot" meaning too many nutrients for your baby plant, and transplant them carefully, then don't feed nutrients until later, post pics later (like a 2-3wks) and someone will tell you if they need nutrients then.

 

[LetsGetCritical]

oh I just reread the post and maybe you haven't put them in the hot soil yet? That's better, just get some suitable soil like God suggested and you can use the orchid mix for some other plant.

Fox farm soil isn't a requirement. I buy my soil from lowes..

Specialised soils aren't a prerequisite for growing good weed.

Avoiding nutrient enriched soils kinda is.
Cannabis grows best when you look after it, that means knowing what, how, when and why your feeding it.

When I started 15 years ago I used MG soil & didn't have 1 bit of problems!! I don't use it now, I mix my own! But I wouldn't use the " orchid" type, if MG is your only selection! Use the reg MG potting soil, if your going to. It will not hurnt your plants, according to others! Not saying I recommended it or anything by far! Just saying it won't hurt them! With that said, change those babies outta the orchid soil, and go with else. If it already has nutrients in it, don't add/feed nutrients until they run out, or you start to see 1st signs of deficiency. When you transplant, be carefull not to damage the root ball. I dose mine after replanting with a low mixture of vitamin B-2 & superthrive! They won't go through a bad shock if doesed with this mixture. Hope that helps you bro.. Dank.

Amazon, too, is a great source for products. You can buy a three-part nute system, like Advanced Nutrients, in small-ish bottles for under $50 (even under $40). One of those 3-parts will last you your first grow or two while you get on top of the learning curve. Good luck!
