Help 1st Time! Start to Finish (General Guide - Needed)

**DJ Redrum** · 06-25-2009, 01:23 PM

I would like some help with a 1st grow which I'm interested in starting very soon. I know it is slightly late, but there is still time and the seeds have been ordered.

BIG BUDDHA Blue Cheese Feminized
As this is the first time. I need some help with the general that covers start-to-finish if possible.

Germination
Once the seeds are ready, they should be placed into a plant pot which doesn't have no fertilizer in the organic compost - right?

[Questions]

- Do you need to use anything else other than water/ fertilizer in outdoor grow?
- How long usually before they have to be moved into a bigger pot (4 weeks)?
- What are the recommend pot size(s)?
- When should I start to add fertilizer into the water?

Is there much else which I may need to know, such as cutting ect. ?

two weeks after you have a sprout you can start giving it nutes ussually 1/4th the recommended dose at first
a 5 gallon pot would be fine to support a fully grown plant
you need good soil good light water and good nutes to grow a plant
and move your plant into a bigger pot asap
is that all your questions?

When you mention 'move your plant into a bigger pot asap' is that usually from 2-3 weeks?

- Is it recommended to buy Peat-Free Organic Compost?
- Do I need more products, or would 1 fertilizer type be fine?
- Is there a recommended brand for nutes/compost?
- Miracle-Gro. GOOD or BAD?

Thanks for the reply.
Anyone able to help with these extra questions?

it really doesnt matter how soon you move into a new pot 2 weeks is fine as long as your not growing in a cup r sumthing
simplicity is a good way to start a good bag of potting soil will do you fine miracle grow works for me but i have seen people say it is bad... use scotts potting soil maybe
as far as nutes go start with sumthing high in nitrogen do you know what n-p-k means?

I haven't looked into the different types nutes/fertilizers - which is why I'm looking for something easy to start with that should be fine for my first attempt.
It seems like people often have problems with Miracle-Grow causing burns. I will probably choose another brand insted.

Miracle Gro is fine to use. Although I've only had a 50/50 sucess rate with the potting soil. But the good plants are REALLY good. You should look online for nutes. I've been using the Fox Farm's trio regime. Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, and Big Bloom. I just started with the Tiger Bloom/Grow Big combination last week. I've been seeing great results. I also use "Super Thrive" with my Grow Big. I applied "Messenger" growth hormone to my plants about two days ago. I'll re-apply in 3 weeks. So far my girls are doing great.
