Now with dry ferts, do i simply apply to the top and water it in or should i premix it in a resevoir? and thanks for the reply.Personally I would choose a mix with heavy on compost and coconut (obviously much more, but I'll let you figure that out) for an outdoor scenario, especailly if it's going to be somewhere warm. I think your choice of coconut and perlite will have you watering CONSTANTLY and using A LOT of nutes, which translates to a lot of expense. Look into a dry fertilizer such as Rainbow Mix or Dr. Earth, both of which will be easy and forgiving.
Make you own soil mix, would be what I recommend. Then it's just water and ACTs, super easy. There are many different routes you can take, and lots of information on this site to figure out what's best for you.
Haha thanks for the heads up on greenhouse seeds. ive heard from many people saying the same thing. I chose those seeds because a buddy of mine is going to take all my lower branch nugs and trim and make some extracts. i heard some good things on cali connection so ill give them a look. im not stuck on AN at all. i just have them in my back pocket in case i dont figure out how to mix my own nutes. thanks for the info BaylifeThis is all my personal opinion...the seeds are kinda weak man. Granted I don't know your purpose for growing but I would assume general ascetics + odor and a big yield are among the desirable traits you prefer. Try out some of BOG's awesome seeds maybe some proven Cali Connection seeds. Greenhouse seeds are garbage also for the record.
Also advanced nutrients is kinda the capitalists dream come true in terms of nutrients. The boosters are spread out amongst many...many products.. If your gunna spend a boatload on nutrients and prefer chemical (opposed to organic or even semi organic) nutrients I would rock House and Garden....they know what they are doing and have been doing it for a long time. In the case of using house and garden I would use coco or a predominant coco blend opposed to soil.

...high man, for about $5.00 you can get yourself a roll of common landscapers fabric and just cut pieces and staple your own bags together, they wouldn't be strong enough for 3ogallons but for a transitional size they would work just fine and when it came time for up-potting you could just cut the 'bag' down the side and peel it away. (i re-used mine so i didn't cut them but this should give you the idea)I might not use the 1 gallon "felt" bags. The 30's are fine to grow them out in but the roots get attached to the bags so transplanting will be a bitch to say the least. Better off using 1 gallon plastic pots for early vege

peace, bozo
...btw, with this being outdoors i'd strongly recommend that you take the time to learn how to mix your own truly organic living soil, if you do you'll learn how to let mother nature feed your babies. ...keep in mind also that if you choose the chemical route the salts in the runoff can be dangerous to the indigenous flora. (and i hate recommending you go to the rag but you really should to take a look at HumboltLocal's work,...hell, here is a shot of him from RIU where he is active, i see now he is no longer active on the rag.

Thanks for the tip!I might not use the 1 gallon "felt" bags. The 30's are fine to grow them out in but the roots get attached to the bags so transplanting will be a bitch to say the least. Better off using 1 gallon plastic pots for early vege
These will be done in a private backyard in CA s yeah, its legal!Hey Collie are you doing a guerilla grow in the wilds of an illegal state or are these going to be back yard divas in a legal state?
Awesome info Dre, this is the reason I joined the farm. who makes caps bennies? sorry if that was a stupid questionI like this mixing soil once and just watering throughout season and the mix kills it just checkout humboltlocals thread. This is a third of his size.
Plus caps beenies is my twist to it
It's organic man!
100 gallon smart pots
2 bales sunshine #4
2 cubic feet of nutri rich chicken poop
1.5 cubic feet earth worm castings
1.35 cubic ft perlite
6.5 pounds of steamed bone meal
5 pounds of kelp
5 pounds oyster shells
5 pounds dolomite lime
5 pounds gypsum
Mix well soak and let sit four to six week until internal temp is 80
Caps beenies once a week
I intend to learn how to mix up organic mixes. I was just feeling like the season was gonna be here and I wouldn't be ready. that is a monster plant by the way! that gets me excited. I wish I could use 100 gallon pots but my neighbors and my neighbors' neighbors would see those puppies and I don't trust some of them. thank you again! what about genetics and strains though? id love to hear any input on the topic...high man, for about $5.00 you can get yourself a roll of common landscapers fabric and just cut pieces and staple your own bags together, they wouldn't be strong enough for 3ogallons but for a transitional size they would work just fine and when it came time for up-potting you could just cut the 'bag' down the side and peel it away.

humboldt local used fox farm nutes he said not organic. I would look into x-nutrients if you want a reasonable priced fert. It works amazingly, I personally used it last year on my outdoor girls along with microbial teas and guanos and fish and kelp. The x-nutrients are only like 225$ for fifteen gallons, about the cheapest you can find. look into it online and call them they can direct you to a local retailer that carries their products. xnutrients.com
