So I'm relatively new to growing and I have quite a few questions that I need answered ASAP since I plan to start growing within the next 2wks. I'll start by telling a little about how I plan to go about things and I'll separate my questions for ease of reading. So here we go:
I have about $1000-1300 to work with. I've settled on a grow closet thats about 59"x59"x78", a 600w virtual sun hps+mh lighting kit, a ph meter,a propagation kit to start my seeds, and an ozone generator. I'm going to grow 2 different autoflowering strains and do in fact plan to clone. I want to start with only 2 plants as I only have 4 seeds (2 of each strain) and then a month later I'll plant the other 2. Now for the questions
Organic Soil Mixture:
I came across Subcool's organic soil mix quite a few times and it seems to be a tried and true mix. My question is what do yall think about using Earth Juice's Amazon Bloom as a base (ingredients listed below)? Can anyone give me a step-by-step break down of how to mix it?
Pots and transplanting:
First off I would like to avoid transplanting all together so I guess my question is is that even possible? If so how? Second I've been looking at smart pots and it seems that the roots grow into the mesh of the bag so I was wondering if I could just start them in a smart pot and then transfer the entire smart pot into a bigger one and cover it with soil? I guess my main goal is to cause minimum to no stress to my babies. Also what do yall think about 2 plants in those huge sterelite bins with holes drilled in the bottom for drainage?
I think that is all the questions I have (for now ) I've been researching this for about 2years now and feel it is time to jump in and start growing since I wish to make this my career. It seems there is a wealth of info for a young woman to learn so I welcome any and all input.
