Enjoy the gnats bro. Might as well put them on the ingredients list. They know it. I magically have hyoapsis mites. @DemonTrich mentioned this. I got gnats from them also. Sweet!If your buying I'll try it out, I'm in FFOF and my girls are happy as a pig in mud, I'm new to growing but I'm far from closed minded! Wanna send that gift card this way???
What state? Will You journal it? Lights you use? Follow exact method? I mean after this go explore and experiment. But this follow method? I'm not against it, let's talk!If your buying I'll try it out, I'm in FFOF and my girls are happy as a pig in mud, I'm new to growing but I'm far from closed minded!

You can buy amended soil ready to go from kis organics or buildasoil. Like 25 bucks probably same price or cheaper.Don't have time or room to mix and wait. I use roots organics . I like it and it's convenient.
So I'm in a state where the laws aren't on my side, but that doesn't stop me! I use a T5 florescent 4 bulb fixture for veg and a 400w HPS for flower. I grow because I love this plant and all it has to offer not because I wanna get stoned all day. I'll deff journal it, from start to finish. I have a few seedlings that will need to be transplanted in a week or so ( they are in peat moss and have not had any nutes added to them. I'll transplant into your soil of choice and keep a weekly updated journal and will follow method to the "T". hows that sound? I just bought another bag of FFOF, so I woulda need to know within a few days.What state? Will You journal it? Lights you use? Follow exact method? I mean after this go explore and experiment.

Pm me for how i get the soil to you.So I'm in a state where the laws aren't on my side, but that doesn't stop me! I use a T5 florescent 4 bulb fixture for veg and a 400w HPS for flower.

Cheers!
Just add water, no run off, keep it a constant moisture. That's it, no transplanting, grow in minimum 5 gal preferably 10Pm me for how i get the soil to you.
No chloramine or chlorine everything else is just fineJust add water, no run off, keep it a constant moisture. That's it, no transplanting, grow in minimum 5 gal preferably 10
Im new to this.. whats ffof?@ J Dee.
It takes very little to ignite an opinion storm here. :)
Just happy that no one recommended Miracle grow. They burst out of the woodwork for M.G. bashing. :D
But, back to your original question.
I am, by no means, a "professional".
I'm just some geek on the net who loves to experiment.
And I'm old as dirt, so I offer you years of experience with said experiments.
Best to keep it simple for the first couple grows, yah?
Ignore most of the well meaning "advice."
Small tent? First grow? I went with dirt, and water.
That worked very well. Once I had a harvest, I was hooked on growing.
Then, it was time to experiment with more difficult methods.
Oil requires a lot of bud and we have a plant number limit, so . . . :(
First, I played with nutes. Dyna-grow and Dyna-bloom beat out several other popular ferts.
My best, was also the cheapest and easiest. Captain Jacks dry nutes.
about a 20% gain over FFOF. Not bad, but I needed a better yield and 20% did not really justify the cost of the extra nutes.
Went right to hydro.
Looked for an easy flavor that I could do a soil side-by-side with.
Simple, in this case, was DWC. 5 gallon bucket, PH meter, TDS meter, air pump, net pots and hydro nutes. Almost double the yield as the same volume of un-nuted FFOF.
Downside?
Well, it's noisy and require a steep learning curve, and constant monitoring. But the deal breaker was it's alternate name, "Death Without Cause".
Was very impressive for the first 3 grows, and then . . .
Came out one morning to 2 dead plants out of 4. They were all jus' peachy the day before. My 100% gain evaporated overnight! :(
So, dialed it down a little.
I see coco as solid state hydro. Found that there are different suppliers with variable quality. (Amount of sea salt, dirt and rocks, PH anomalies. All kine sing. )
Still yield was impressive. about 80% more than dirt n fert.
Coco is great! Until it isn't.
For transferring nutes to roots, it's hard to beat. I like the scent and it's difficult to over-water. Not impossible, just difficult. (Don't ask) :)
If kept too moist it can be Fungus gnat central.
Before I learned the value of dryer sheets, tropical Fungus gnats overwhelmed my first coco grows.
The biggest hassle turned out to be "salting" near the end of flower.
Then 2 things happened. One of my patients died which cut my weight needs in half.
And Hawaii raised the plant count to 10 per patient. :)
I'm a medical grower only, and there's no point in risking crop failure or overworking to harvest more than I actually need.
So, went back to FFOF and plain water.
I'm not "anti-fert," but see no point in buying and supplying something that my girls don't ask me for and do jus' fine without, yah?
Jus' 2 cents from an old fart,
Aloha,
Weeze
Yeah! More than enough is too much. I only grow twice a year, I have no need to grow year round.
Sorry if I was misunderstood, I said since you no longer need quantity focus on quality. That being said I am in no way shape or form saying what you do grow is not quality.

Check this article.
You can get a bag mixed up fresh for 25 to 45 bucks from kis organics or buildasoil ... shipping might be crazy to Hawaii
Anyway, I won't mention this again.
The reason I did is cause you said like to experiment
Cheers
