thanks for the info, we weren't sure about ferts with mg soil. next time we're using non nut potting soil so we can controll feeding nuts. haven't bought blooming fert yet so last night when we watered used molasses. have been told by the old farts that it is best in flowering. i'd have to ask wife but i think it's 1 TBS per gal. have to heat it with some water first so it will mix. we're buying distilled water now. used britta water earlier in grow till we found out it doesn't really help.

So you are still checking the PH right{very important}I set mine at 6.5 to 6.8 with the MG soil it balance's out for the best feed range.What kind of nutes are you going to try with the fert free dirt?I'm thinking of trying an airophonic set up for my next bloom not that much the set up{$125--$175}for 6 buckets it should add 30%{i hope}to the wieght.here's my girls at 30 days in bloom.

you can do 24/0 or 16/8 in veg its personel preference.
im doing 16/8 cos apparently 24/0 produces a high rate of males... and the extra electricity isnt nesseccary.

the bud quality is improved if you have more light getting THROUGH your entire plant so to help it place a few numerous CFL's around it instead of just 2 above.

and before your about to harvest dont use and fertilizers for 2 weeks. this will 'flush' out all the fertilizers from the plant.
