Good to go?

Hi all good to be here. I've been lurking around on these forums for quite awhile now and feel like my head is about to explode. The amount of info on the topic of growing is mind boggling.
Studying was never my strong suit but i tried to soak up as much as i can , more of a hands on learner. A big applause to those who make this site successful both mods and members. I ask you for your patience and knowledge to give me a boost in the right direction. so here we go

Secret Jardin dr2.5 3x3 tent or DIY 3x3 cabinet

1 plant , hand fed , scrog with pinching/super cropping
RP kosher kush from seed

growblu 360w led - with heat and bills being an issue (yes i know its an expensive startup) ive decided upon LED , will supplemental lighting be needed for veg?
*additional lights if needed* - t5 ho 4 lamp for veg , im thinking if it might be best to leave the LED off during veg and use the t5's only.
contemplating on UVB arcadia d3 lights.

Pro Mix HP or Sunshine mix #15. i read peat moss has a tendency to be a PITA with ph issues. both companies already add dolomitic limestone , is it enough for the life of my plant? depending on the health and size of the plant i assume ill be transplanting 2 maybe 3 times. a handful of worm castings for some nutrients.

containers will be air pots or some DIY version.

Now i know with nutes its highly controversial and everybody has their own opinions but ive decided to keep it as easy as possible. Dynagro seems like the best choice for me , in particular the foliage pro 3-1-2 from start to finish. maybe some DG bloom and or molasses during flowering.
I have a question about DG Pro Tekt. i believe it is a wetting agent , the Pro Mix HP also contains a wetting agent , is too much wetting agent a bad thing?
Easy access to distilled water so i believe ill be needing cal mag
Great white for mycos.

any suggestions or discrepancies you see are greatly appreciated and i thank you in advance! :eyesmoke:

Hell yeah, LED. Shouldn't need any supplemental lighting.

Foliage pro is well-encouraged around here. Don't use any PH adjusters if you're using mycos, 'course.

Start a journal over in the LED section if you want, you'll probably be welcomed there (although there are mixed feelings on Apollo).

edit: ventilation?

yea im excited about the led , just wish the tech wasnt so expensive for people who cant diy lol.
for venting ill use a fan with about 2-250 cfm exhausting out the top , maintain negative pressure with passive intake at the bottom.
journal sounds interesting as ill definately document my growings.
i wasnt aware ph + - had effect on mycos? sorry couldnt find the info.

Sorry I am not a fan of LED lighting so I wont say anything about them .
Your going to more than likely need some dolomite lime to add to a peat mix and it will be a beneficial in the end .
Protek is a silica supplement . The molasses will be just fine especially with the mycorrhizae .

Sounds like you have it all lined up and are ready for the variables , have a great grow ! PotSnob

Why just 1 plant in that tent? You planning on a long veg time to let it fill out your grow area? Doing a perpetual grow?

id like to think i have most of the variables covered but i expect a few white hairs to come along lol. just trying to get a solid foundation going so i

can have a easier time diagnosing my plant.

as for dolomite lime i was wondering if i needed to add more since it had it already in it but it seems i do, as well as more perlite.

after going through some notes i forgot dolomite lime is a source of cal and mag , will i still need calmag for distilled water?

its for personal use and ive never grown anything before , not expecting alot but hope to learn from it. probably being a bit ambitious but i plan

on topping early using Uncle Ben's topping guide and HOPEFULLY will fill out a good size scrog . dont remember too much on how well the kosher

kush responds to scrog but i think i saw somewhere kush strains do well with it.

hopefully... lol
