FFOF is a hot soil so all you really need to add is a bit more perlite for drainage (it already has some in it)

and because it shows a Cal/Mag def towards the end with some strains, it is wise to add a bit of Dolomite Lime 1 Tablespoon per gallon of soil

aaahhhhh sweet, i was gonna get some lime the other day, but thought the bone meal would do in place so i didn get it. go figure! thanks man, im sure ill be botherin you again in no time lol. o like now. sorry, but i heard you shouldn water until the day after you transplant??

finally realized i couldnt have a good grow with out a light timer and a temp/humidity reader so i just went out and bought one. Now i was wondering what they should read, from what i heard 72-76 is ideal for temp and 60-70% is ideal for humidity... is this correct? now my next poblem i seen so far an ant, small spider,and a small black beetle(not sure what type) in my grow room...could any of these be harmful to my plants?

best way to transplant is to soak the small pot, you can simply flush it (run 3 times it's size water thru it) or dunk it in a bucket, then move it into the bigger pot which should simply be moist (fresh out of the bag is good) then wait till the soil is dry before watering again

this method is best for reducing transplant stress, as it puts the plant to sleep and when it wakes up it does not know it has been moved

do this right after lights on so it has full light period to wake up to

the temps you listed 72 to 76 are better for flowering, if your veggin 78 to 85 is better also for veggin humidity of 50 to 60% is good in flower you want your humidity in the low 30's

ant and spider will not hurt it not sure about the beetle

thanks for all info bud, n thanks even more for the patience... much respect. ill try to wait a lil longer in between botherings from now on lol... laterzzzz

not bothering me, I'm just chillin and watchin movies, rather have folks ask about stuff before they have problems to solve LOL

it's easier that way

ya i did it all backwards and just jumped into this whole growing thing b4 learning, now im simply learning from all the mistakes im making. so thanks for helping me out with all the spot on knowledge riddle....

when i was at the store i picked up a spray bottle to mist water over my plants....is that alright?

i dont have a problem at the moment but im givin my gals 1 1/2 litre every morning each and 1 1/2 litre every evening each and there ready for the same the next day every day.
there 3 weeks into flower today and are growing in coco coir thay seem to be growing really well and buddin up nicely but im worried i could be over watering so i wonderd if anyone has pics of an over waterd plant so i know wot to watch out for

also i just spotted this below and wonderd how many plants are in that pot ?
thay look really sick which iv seen before when several plants are in 1 pot as they kill each other from the roots uwards

theres 3 plants in the pot. but theyre not that big, so i thought it might be something else. im getting more pots and transferring them asap so hopefully thatll fix em

i would m8 i know sum people grow 2 plants in 1 pot but its not a good idea the roots will get tangled an they fight for room an end up with stunted growth

i i did tat too man, still learning from my mistakes n tryin to prevent new ones...

well, riddleme, i lied. the feed store was closed so i couldn order the fox farm... i got some hyponex potting soil, with no npk value whatsoever. i have a bag of perlite, a bag o bone meal 6-9-0, some dolomite lime, and epsom salt (mag 9.8, sul 12.9) specially made for plants. the soil says its made up of hypnum peat, forest products or compost, sand and perlite, and (MAYBE?!?!) aged pine bark... I am now at a loss. i also have a small bit o the miracle grow potting mix left tat feeds for 6 months .21-.07-.14

well did you get any nutes to go with all of that cause your gonna need em

you can mix the MG with the hyponex add 30% perlite and the tablespoon of Dolomite (per gallon)

DO NOT use the epsom salt but ok to use the bone meal per the instructions on the package

my choice for nutes is no secret, I like Jack's Classic and DynaGro, but there are several that work

the only food i have now is miracle grow liqud all purpose plant food 12-4-8. i will certainly see if that is sold anywhere around here... but i do live in the middle o nowhere, what is the npk value i should be lookin for if i cant get ahold of jacks??

can i raise the humidity in my room by putting a bucket of water in it?

3-1-2 (aka 12-4- or anything similar (higher in N and lower in Phosphate) will suffice while in vegatative state. You swap those when you go into flowing (i.e. 1-3-2), but keep up the nitrogen a few weeks after the transition to minimize leaf yellowing/ loss.
