Nutrients for soil grows

For new seeds, I soak em in a pill bottle till they dont float.They should sink in 24-36hrs.Most of the time.
Then put them in the soil.Also,when you go to water before they come up be very careful,
with watering.

I use a Turkey baster,i.e.Big eye dropper..... not to disturb the seed or roots,until there up!

this should be fine as long as i keep checking my ph levels and feeding it the nutrients right? Can i buy perlite, coco, and worm castings at wal mart or should i try a farmers store and a hydroponic store? also, i'm only growing 4 plants with a 400w MH and 1 14w octron eco 6500k floro for side light. CAN this set up be used to VEG and Flower? It will be on a timer at 24hrs for the first 2 weeks after i plant my germinated seeds, and then 18/6 and eventually 12/12..... is this ok?

IMO...You can ditch the 14w just be in the way.I would look into LSTn and FIMn them to get max.Yields from the four.
This will help you more then anything for yields.
Walmart, should have perlite,some come with MG nutes. No biggie, I wash my perlite ALWAYS... good.

Awesome thread Beech! Beautiful pics from all of you stoners! Thanks!

Today I move on to Step 2 of Growology....

No issues so far. But NOT doing a full documentation of it because of the massive size of my situation,

Great thread! Sub'd. Anyone have experience purchasing from kelp4less on eBay? Also, thoughts on mixing sugaree with hibrix? The two should work fine together?

Forgot one more question, I currently use 707 soil, planning on recycling soil, adding bone/blood meal, and plan on getting a worm bin going, feeding them organics only. I remove all the roots I can see from the soil. If im using the line up mrspliff stated in previous video, what other amendments should I use? Thanks in advance.

Are roots not good for composting or soil making?

Good start here all the same, and good luck!

Not sure if old/dead roots hurt or help. I usually remove them when using recycled soil just in case.

Major root balls should be removed. Pick up a skunk magazine if you guys have availability to one. Read the rev's theory on root in soil. He calls them tunnels for new roots to trail through.... as long as the medium was properly flushed prior to building up your new super soil then roots can stay. Otherwise they hold trace nutes that can harm small sprouts and early vegging or rooting little ones.

Then there are products like Cannazyme.

I looked into a cheaper alternative, like pond de-gunkers,
but did not settle on a good product/purchase.

The way growing in the world is going, the real answer will be well known in 5 years. Check back then.

Thought about cannazyme but too pricey for me. Therefore I just remove them, im sure some stay in I'd say I remove about 80% of all roots.. Definitely remove major/larger roots.

I water down my old root balls with diastatic malt tea [barley malt extract]. Basically add 1tbsp to a gallon and shake. No waiting. The enzymes get at the lignin, tough like. Top dress and add compost, then sit for 2 weeks at least, 4 or more, for what's good.

Pretty much after a few weeks, the root nub on the surface will pretty much tear out with no fuss, since the base has rotted away. Make a little space for the new organism.... I have used bare root clones, potted upcan's and beans.

I also water with malt about 2x throughout the week all thru veg and flower. Good chit.

Yep I use subs supersoil also...I'm only on my 3rd grow but, that super soil sure makes all the difference in the world...here's my last grow in subs soil... (3rd)...

Out fucking standing brother for a third grow..you are growing like you have been doing this for years..
Super soil is a great way..proven over and over again for people to get outstanding results.
Takes some work handling the dirt but the results are close to that of hydro.
I only grow in hydro these days.Much easier on a old broke down back.
I use perlite and vermiculite in a ebb and grow system ,The perlite is thrown away after every grow and start from step one,
Perlite is very cheap..it may cost me around 150 bucks in perlite and vermiculite to change out 96 2 gallon containers.
If your time is worth anything you cannot flush and clean the perlite for 150 bucks.
Its not worth the chance for me to effect any of my crops quality or production because of some nute or salt build ups in the growing media.
Many growers are going to find out it costs money for a good product,There is no two ways around it.
All the best products cost money.
The good news..many of these products like hygrozyme do not have to be used every time through out the grow.
If you only use a products a few times through the grow..or only have to use it a few times through a grow the cost impact depending on the size of grow is actually pretty small.
The results on the other hand are pretty big,Or at least in the case of some products.
There is a old saying in rugby..you dont have to be big to play rugby. But it helps.
You dont have to spend money on high quality products to grow good weed...but it helps.
A couple of small growing tips i gave a buddy of mine on here..he took my advice unlike many others..
He is about to almost..if not double his production by spending less than 500 bucks on his grow.
How much is it worth for you to double your production?
Was the investment worth the money? Hell yea.
Ive got to get some of you stoners to think and act like professional businessmen instead of lazy stoners.
When you purchase a product it is not looked at like a expenditure..its looked at like a investment.
If you cant invest in yourself who can you invest into?

quick question.... i have my clones and seedlings under an mh light. my temp is 77 and humidity is at 51. humidity was at 22 before i bought a humidifier. are my new humidity levels and temp good?

Yes they are... as long as you are not rooting clones and germing seeds your temps and humidity are fine.

Thanks for the link Beech
