Got a few questions for the pro growers!

Got a few questions for you.
I have got 3 bagseed seeds planted today. What soil is best to use for veg time? like fine or potting soil ext? and what soil to use for flowering? and anything to add with the soil. Can I use the fish in my 3gal flowering soil mix to help my plant wen flowering? will the fish stink? i have 3 20w cfls and one 400w hps. should I use the cfl`s for veg and the Hps for flowering? coz someone told me that hps starches yore node space and I dont want that! I am a 100% organic grower so any organic fertilizer that works well I would like to hear about! hope you can help

for soil you can't go wrong with promix (or regular potting soil, no nutes), earthworm castings, and perlite. Lime, Bat guano, bone meal and blood meal are all good organic nutes. you don't need different soil for veg and flower, just different nutrient mix. I don't grow only organic so you may need to research organic flower nutes. Also keep in mind organic nutes release into the soil much slower, so it can be harder to tell about overdoses or deficiencies until it's too late.

Yes, veg using your CFLs, although if you want a big yield, I'd veg for a few weeks with the HPS after they have gotten to 10'' or so under the CFLs. This will help develop stronger roots and foliage (although for best roots and foliage you may want to invest in a MH conversion bulb)

of course, adding a fish into your soil will STINK!!! however I have heard it makes the buds super sweet, and it's your nose. You're probably better off making an organic compost using that kind of thing and then adding that to the soil instead of letting a fish rot in your pots directly.

good luck

do u think the fish wil stink so bad that u wont smell the weed when flowering?

Ever been to a garbage dump? Ever smell just one thing? No. It stinks like *everything.*

It will smell like both weed and fish, and depending on what strain / how you're growing, chances are the weed will overpower the fish anyway. If the fish is so nasty it DOES smell more than the weed, chances are someone would call the cops for that too. Probably faster than just for a waft of bud-smell, if they think you have a dead body in there lol

you're better off with a carbon filter and ONA gel

lmao!!
Lesson #1 Bagseed? Really? You can figure this lesson out from here.

Lesson #2 Dont put chopped up dead fish in your soil. You'll get more than a stink out of it. Go to the grow store and get some organic fish emulsion.. still lmao.

What kind of soil..
Fox Farm (Ocean Floor mix) seems to be most popular among the organic growers.

i use sunshine #4 for both flowering and veg..... it is a 0-0-0 mix so you can control what nutes go into it

Yea bro I only use cfl for veg then when it's time 2 flower I use hps seems to make a bigger yeild for me also I use fox farm ocean forest mix does wonders for my plants and anybody I know who uses it loves it good luck bro I'm just starting this year operition.
