I am a first timer and have two separate rooms growing about two weeks apart. I just started using Fox Farms Dirty Dozen on my first one and in about ten days I will use Technaflora Recipe for Success Starter Kit. I the last one is very cheap so I was wondering what everyone's thoughts on ithe are. Thanks.

My garden is in its 22nd day of flower. I also have a dozen auto's in the mix which are on their 5th week. This is my first run. I use a 40/40/20 mix of soil, coco coir, and perlite. I have been using the entire line of Kushman's Vegamatrix. So far my plants are thriving, and spend most of their time praying to the light. As a very novice grower, I am very pleased so far with the results I've been able to produce using the VM feeding schedule. I've got a journal of this grow going as well so if your at all interested to see the harvest pics feel free to follow .

No, but I looked it up....sounds fantastic...
- Complete Professional Strength Living Soil Superpack with Both Beneficial Bacteria and Mycorrrhizae & Trichoderma fungi.
(the one is a genus name where the other is a type of association)
$30 for a half pound is a tad dear, but no more than Great White. (and that stuff rocks ;0)

Got a question I'm growing in soil
The soil is a special mix my local shop makes up all sorts of stuff mixed together great stuff but any way.
Question is this I'm currently doing a feeding with nutes and then next time water and then nutes but I'm wondering can I not do 2 or more nute waterings then do a good water flush after doing nutes a few times in a row would this be good for plants or end up bunging root system up with deposits and burning the plants ?? They are currently in week 3.5 of flower still got around 5-6 weeks left I'm
Thinking ...any input would be great

For a chemical grow I use.... Sun Bulb.... Orchid Plus Veg x Better Grow Orchid Fertilizer.
Its got very high quality nutrients, including Magnesium, which is the #1 deficiency for container grown plants, and weed uses a considerable amount of Magnesium. Non Urea Nitrogen source. Contains Nitrate Nitrogen only. Much of the Urea used in other formulas turns to gas, and is a waste, and a cheap filler.
It also leaves very little, if any salt deposits. Its very clean/soluable.
It comes in both Veg/Flower formulas, + all Micros.
Better-Gro® Orchid Plus® plant food:
Better-Gro® Orchid Better-Bloom® plant food:
I use at the rate of 5 Gallons Water x 2 x tsp Flower x 1 tsp x Veg Formula
Feed/Water every time.
I use Promix BX which also has Mycorrhizae.
Also for young seedlings I of course cut the fert back accordingly, and don't feed full strength. Start with 1/4
I also grow in 20 Gallon containers with 1000 watt Hortilux 145,000 lumen Super Bulbs which is Blue enhanced. I use this bulb in both Veg/Flowering. 1-2 x 20 gallon containers per light, with maybe 3 x 5 gallon buckets strategically located. At its best this set up gets 2lbs per light with Mr Nice SSH. Reserva Kosher Kush, Mr Nice Critical Mass, and Critical Skunk.
Plants are heavily trained/bent, but no pruning.
Heres a bad shot of some Kosher Kush.
The large bud weighs in a 43gs dry as a bone. The other is 18. These buds came from a plant in a 5 gallon bucket, and it had a 7oz yield. Its now in a jar. Or several.
Long bud is around 20 inches. That's a Les Paul guitar case.

Feed it well but ramp up slow. I feed daily with a heavy feeding schedule but it is outside direct planted so the excess drains out. Fox Farm nutes are the shit and I highly recommend you try them next. You just need the grow big, big bloom and tiger bloom. Bud candy is useless because they claim it adds sugar to your plant which produces more than enough by its self. There powders seem to be way to aggressive and will make it easy to burn and give you root lock. Just watch the plant daily and adjust accordingly.
Good luck with your grow man.

Nice yield from a five gallon bucket. A few of those on rotation should keep you happy. A nice mild nute mix too.For a chemical grow I use.... Sun Bulb.... Orchid Plus Veg x Better Grow Orchid Fertilizer.

Thanks man , well I have done two feedings in a row now full strength I didn't ramp up slow I had tiny bit of tip burn on a few plants but going to be doing a good flush with water today and try the two in a row again they seem to have enjoyed it and they look decent !

They look really healthy and green good job.
It is overcrowded though. If you just put six plants in there and train them well you would probably get a higher yield than 20 smaller ones in the same space. Good looking room too.

Sadly they got culled, as the Mr Nice Super Silver Haze, for me is a better smoke/plant. They were grown for a bit over a year though, and is good stuff, but not my favorite flavor. Buzz is top notch though.
SSH also gives more return on Bubble Hash, and Extract.
Getting ready to try the Elemental Seeds Mango Tango, and the New Brothers Grimm C99.
While I never grew the earlier C99, I did the Mosca, and while I had no problem with the weed, it didn't grow, fast enough, or produce nearly enough. Mr Nice Critical Mass is also being grown for around a year now. Will so far be keeping it.
On tap, I also have the
Elemental Seeds Grizzly Kush x 3 orders
Crocketts Tangie, Sour Banana Sherbet, 3 orders each
TGA Jack the Ripper x 2 orders
1 x Atomic Notrhern Lights
2 Sensi Seeds Afghani #1
Mr Nice Critical Skunk x 2

Ya your probly right
I did a bit of training on them with the result of some getting 6 mains on them most of them got four but ya I got 19 in there they are starting to get crowded for sure but I'm
Happy with the size of bud so far with only about 5 weeks to go now ! But I may do what your saying and go with half that and just go bigger pots and more training ! Training really adds time to grow that's for sure

Yea you got it. Bigger the pot the bigger the plant there is just no way around it, but of course if all depends on space. If you do what your doing with more dirt and more space you would kill it.
