got all my shit together, now i just gotta figure out which is the best way to grow the seedlings. I know how to germinate them, but anytime from putting the germinated seeds in the starter soil up until putting it in the ground outside im not sure of. I know to buy some soil that doesnt have time releasing nutrients and etc, but how do i grow them? should i buy some kind of light for them? im not sure if i should grow the differently than other people would for indoor growing, so thats pretty much why im asking yall. thanks!

Take your germinated seed, place it in your pot. I use 5 gallon pots until ready to go into ground. Put them in the sun, wait for them bad bitches to sprout.

if you can water them every day you should look into a soilless medium and just feed nutrients.. similar to outdoor hydro. 50% coco coir and 50% perlite

At home depot look for the Sunshine "pro mix" or the "#4". It's what I'm using and have no reason to look for an alternative.

Up here it about $35 for a 107L bale.

promix is great because perlite and water crystals are already in it. If you can't find any then you can make a great base out of peat moss bales, perlite, vermiculite, worm castings and some compost or manure. My mix is very simple, I usually mix a bale of peat mos with a bag of promix I don't add extra perlite because I want water retention, then I add about 20% compost and 10% worm castings.

i know my home depot doesnt have promix, what is #4?

Sunshine mix #1 or #4 , just slightly different perilite an nute loads. Either would work fine. I'm using #1 this year, #4 last year. Sunshine seems pretty stable as far as ph and drains well. If all else fails look for MG soil just don't expect to feed for a while.
