I am in the process of starting my second grow. My first grow was a few years back using potting soil and Cfls. Started out with 7 plants and ended up with 2 females. I tried to transplant them into a DIY bubbleponics system I made which of course almost killed them. I then transplanted back into soil and they survived. I ended up with about 6.5 grams of dried and cured buds. It was decent smoke but not at all what I was shooting for.
So now a few years later(and much more knowledge under my cap) I am starting another grow. I will be using a soiless mix consisting of peat and perlite as my base medium. My question is, how much of each should I mix? What are the best amendments to use(guano, blood and bone meal, kelp, lime, etc...) and how much of each do I mix into my base?
I am using a 6'x3'x6' grow box with 3 gallon pots(10 plants total). As far as lighting goes its Cfls again for this grow as I can not afford an hid set up yet(although I know full well hids are much more efficient for growing cannabis than Cfls are). So again, I am looking for an approximate estimate of how much of each ingredient I need to mix together for 10, 3 gallon pots. Also I plan to germinate in rock wool cubes and then transplant into soiless mix. Is this a good idea instead of germing in paper towels or tissue paper?
Any info is much appreciated!
