This is my first time to grow out doors and i was needing a little help with my soil and nutes and figuring out how often to water my plants. first off i went to a local store to pick up some nutrients and soil and the guy pointed me to the "Botanicare" nutrients and soil and was wondering how good they actually were and if there is anything else im forgetting to go along with them? first off the seeds i have chosen just came out of a couple of really good bags of pot so i have no idea what strain it is i could also use the help finding that out aswell.(i will include pics of my plants, the soil and the nutrients im using) As far as the soil i have chosen to use a mix called "readygro" made by botanicare. this is a soilless organic media the mix includes: perlite, earthworm castings, compost, seaweed extract, seaweed meal, and leonardite ore. the nutrients to go along with this mix are botanicare brand name im using the Triflex:Base and grow, liquid karma, flora nectar sweetener, silica blast and every two weeks i flush it with clearex. How often should i be giving my ladies these nutes and watering them i was told to give them the nutes and water everyday i was just wanting a second opinion. if someone could help i will greatly appreciate it very much also trying to determine the strain of the plants. thanks so much to every one in advance.

only use nutrients every 2-4 weeks

if you have a good soil it will work fine and the nutes will be the extra touch

Do not water everyday. I water about every three days. You should wait for the top of the soil to get almost crusty before watering again. If you water everyday the roots of your plants will rot. Allowing the soil to be dry will make your roots search for water and thus grow bigger. For nutes. I would use every other watering at the most. Im not that familiar with using nutes so I could be wrong. Peace and Happy growing.

how in the hell do i get my pics to post i have them but i cant get them to post
go to the camera manufactuers website and its highly likely that it will explain how to download the driver required.. or try this ..plug the usb cord in and turn camera on then switch on ya computer and go into cotrol panel then device manager and check that it has the name of ya camera written in the image devices box ..click on the small cross to open it ...and then click on the image icon it should open and say ..this device is working properly ! good luck ! i have not heard of those nutes sorry down in ozzie ! whats the npk levels at on ya nutes seedlings don,t need nutes for 5-6 weeks and ya organic additives already have them as well so you may not need to add any at all your plants will let you know if they need them ..and when they do need them give them half the required amount and check ya ph levels are 6.5 after adding to the water to feed every 3 weeks and check ya run off as well after to be sure that ya soil ph is;nt climbing !! take care !

Hey, its going to be a bitch trying to untangle all those roots when transplanting the plants in that one container if they get any bigger. I would advise transplanting them all to seperate pots ASAP. Peace and happy growing.
