    sir scroglodyte,

    what do you mean no pebbles?

    do i need to remove the pebbles at the bottom?

    i put it so that watter will not clog down the holes.

    but if i need to remove it i will remove it.

    and what do you mean on that doesn't taper. i am a newbie sorry.

    also my soil mix is composed of soil, perlite, cocobust, and compost. is that good or i still need to add nutrients?
    and do i really need to add dolomite lime? some people told me that i need to add dolomite lime and cal mag. the problem is i dont know where to get dolomite
    lime and cal mag here in my place.

    19-19-19 is very strong don't mist the plants unless you want to burn them immediately. 1/4 of the reccomended dose for fruiting vegetables should be fine. Foliar feeding will only do more harm than good when it comes to cannabis.

    the pebbles will drain the soil unevenly, and allow air to burn bottom of rootball. PERLITE...........mixed into soil, is what improves drainage. it is enough. the holes will not clog with a good medium.
    a nursery pot. on that is cylindrical, not tapered.

    In a pot that size you should not have any drainage problems, so the pebbles are not needed. If you are having drainage problems then you need a better soil that is aerated and breathable.

    alright! thanks sir!

    i am excited on using my new fertilizer,

    it also has

    micro elements like:
    magnesium sulphate-0.033%MgO
    iron chelate -0.025%Fe
    Copper Chelate -0.013%Zu
    Magnesium Chelate -0.013%Mn
    Zinc chelate -0.005%Zn
    Maximum biuret -0.400%

    is this ok?

    Yeah cylindar or even square shaped pots are best depending on how much space you have. The bigger the better obviously but with a bigger pot you will come across drainage issues. Nothing perlite can't fix though.
