Ive grown afghan kush before and had it in a small pot in the back cornor of my tent becuase i though it wouldn't be a star. What a beginner mistake i made because man was that stuff tasty, smelt like baby poop/skunk but that good type where you wish you could fit a nug up your nose. 3 weeks before flower i bent the top over with string to make some easy LST and it grew a few great colas without much popcorn. I will definitely grow it again! so wise choice there, i would even risk it if your growing it out in the woods and plant a few more.

As for the soil. i would watch out with "controlled release" becuase that means it will dissolve with water over time. So if you get a big down pour in a short amount of time in your first few weeks of planting it, it could be to much and burn/kill the plant. I wouldnt worry to much about that though if its not a seedling. As for the 5-in-1, i may be wrong but most of those need time to break down so they are available to the plant (2-4weeks i think). How big is the bag of 5-in-1? is it just those items listed? or is it mixed with soil? If its just those items then what does the back say about how much per soil?
