Soil looks good. If I'm not mistaken, those ingredients are pretty close to what you would find in Fox Farms' soil. Be careful with anything high in "N", easy to burn your plants if you're not careful. No need to feed your plants for the first 3-4 weeks of growth.

AWESOME dude u rock i finally got an answer from somebody!!!! do u think that 5% N is alot?

Hawaii.... mj is a weed and will grow in just about anything but what makes the difference is us perfecting and providing the best possible atmosphere.

If you stroll through the forums you'll read about the growing mediums and nutrients that are time tested to provide great results. Perrsonally I have not seen the stuff your using but that doesnt mean it wont work.

Just remember that seedlings dont need nutes and starting them off in pre nuted soil many times has less than desireable results.

Here is a good website to get all your growing needs covered. Even if you dont purchase from them you might be able to find the products on the island. I would also do an internet search for hydro shops in your area.

Does it say on the bag "feeds for x weeks"? You should be careful, since some time-release stuff can feed for several months. If this is the case, you need to be cautious with adding nutes, and you may als have problems if you ever need to flush the soil.

No matter what though, if you follow a decent potting up routine (progressively bigger pots as needed), then you may not have to add nutes until you begin flowering at least, since there will always be fresh, nute-rich soil for the roots to grow into.

No, 5:3:3 is fine for growth, provided you do not add extra grow nutes until the soil nutes have been used up.
