Soil grow!

Hey RIU !

Need some help again!!

I currently growing RDWC as my first grow.. And i got Heat issues as its getting around summer here were i live.. So now im going to try soil grow for the summer period and then back to Hydro in fall..

I read people transplant the plants severel times doing grow.. i was thinking i clone in rockwool and when transplant it to a 11L pots and no more transplants.. How does this sound?

I have a 4x4 tent and i was thinking of having 9 plants in there.. Veg for something like 3 weeks and then 12/12 would that be fine or maybe overcrowded?

Finally im really confused about soil. As far as i can read you can get some soil that just need watering and no nutes.. And some have weak nutes in them for startup.. What should i go for? I see FFOF is used by many growers but i cant get that where i live.. I use GHE flora series and was planning on continueing using that..

Any tips are welcome.

I would trans plant into 4L before the 11L. You will have a faster growing plant. You can put 11L pots side by side without a problem, unless you grow bigger than 1M vertically. Soil well it is up to you on that one. I prefer a non charged soiless mix like Promix CC-HP. Ya cant go wrong there. Bio Canna is the best organic nutes i have used. You cannot beat the AN sensi line for pure production. A good charged soil is ocean forest, no need to feed during the first two months. I have never had a bag of OF that did not come with fungus gnats though. PM is the best IMO. You can better adjust the nutes the plants get when you are mixing it for them. Good luck!

When do you transplant from 4l to 11l ?

I think i can get my hands on Canna soil.. Not 100% sure but i think my dealer has it..

I find a small plant in a big pot keep your soil wet for too long, I work on the basis that my soil must not stay wet for longer then three days, so throughout the plants life I re-pot about three times.

Right on just remember Canna soil is made to use with bio canna. Good luck!
