Hey man, I use 7 Gal. pots with Fox Farms Happy Frog soil. It's easy on the seedlings and you don't need nutes for the first 3 weeks. I use Adv. Nutes. products, FF, Maxsea grow and bloom and some others. Your local hydro store should steer you in the right direction and look around for awhile and become familiar with the diferent products. Good luck.

Welcome to RIU. Nice choice of beans. If you're into growing trees check out FDD's it's all bullshit thread. Very informative and i'm sure it will inspire you. Good luck growing and peace be with you.

Check out superroots airpots! Amazing containers that air prunes the roots to prevent circling promote microroots, also you can bury the plant in the ground with the container. I use them indoors and its pretty comparable to the speed of hydro
 
@ jethead what would you use from adv.nutes during the veg and what do you use for flower phase? ive cheked them out before but there are SO MANY different products and have no idea which suit best for outdoor in pots with soil. so what would you suggest?

10 gallon pots, FFOF, Blue Mountain Organics nutes. I also agree with NEVER telling anyone. Unless of course you enjoy getting robbed.

I use Conniseur part Aand B for my base flowering nute. It works great insoil and hydro for that matter. I've see great results with the sensi Grow,Micro and Bloom. I'm using Fox Farms Happy Frog soil with cup or 2 of perlite . It drains real nice and if you start with seedlings you don't need nutes the first three weeks. It's abit more in cost but worth it in the long run. I'm sure FF line up of nutes will do a fine job too. Good luck.
