Also, I'm aware of the fact that the cardboard box is a fire hazard but I got a big fan which cools the lights down so they arent too hot. I can easily hold them without getting burnt.. Im still waiting for my seeds to arrive, I bought them last Thursday. (5 Shiskaberry X Buddha seeds) so I soon as I get them Ill plant them in 16oz cups, then replant them into 2.5 litre pots (visible in the pictures), and finally into 1.5 gallon pots.

Now I got a couple of questions. First of, is the soil in the picture going to work? I'm not planning to mix it with "regular garden soi", is this a bad idea? Secondly, I've noticed that a lot of people were saying that miracle grow isn't the greatest for growing mj. But is it alright if I feed the plants 1/4 the strength 2 weeks after the plants sprout and then keep feeding them that till I flower. Then Ill purchase better nutes, not miracle grow.

Thanks for reading. If there is anything I can do better, then let me know. But keep in mind that Im not planning on spending too much money on this grow.
