"First" grow on a small budget

i know u want a high phosphuros content when u flower, and high nitrogen content when u veg. For flowering i was told organic is quite the way to go with bat guano, worm castings, etc etc. never tried it tho, just stuck to the nutrients i had at the time, was pretty cheap. I ordered mine online "dutchnutrientformula.com" i got the whole kit that came with EVERYTHING for only $100 (excluding the organics)

I forget whats good for the NPK ratio, i started a thread about it asking questions here is the link (too lazy to read thru it lol, might be of some help to u tho to do so)>>>> Whats the best NPK balance for MJ

Most definitely getting new soil. I plan on moving it around a foot or so? I agree with the perlite, that's what I have in my soil now and it really helps regulate my feedings. Don't want to put too much water ya know.

sorry what do u mean by "i plan on moving it around a foot or so" <<<<<<<< nvm haha, when its a foot tall, yes good idea.

nice man, get one of those "heat blankets" i think they are called, its like $2 at wal-mart and put that on the inside of your box for reflection if u want.

I forgot to look for a one of those when I picked up my foil. I needed something quick and I did that several days ago. What do you think?

ya those blankets arnt tht good in a box cause they are made to keep heat in..i made tht mistake and got my temps up 7F but i took it out and used flat white paint and stays under 80F now..they are pretty reflective tho..better than aluminum foil..u shud use the dull side of the foil it wont case heat spots..but u shudnt have to worry u dont have much light..shud look into more..what is tht 1 CFL?
