Nutrients for soil grows

Well I'm not completely set on anything yet all I have bought so far is this light stand kit to use in early stages that has a draw string to raise and lower the T5 grow light that came with it, RR plugs, the tray for starting and a timer. I believe that's all, I already ballasts with MH and HPS bulbs, though I'll probably buy new bulbs since I was told they don't work as well once they've been used for like a year. But my point is I'm not set on a soil or anything yet and just wanna go in whatever direction will be better for and easier on my plants and of course not too complicated for a first timer.
That is why Both those soilless mixes were suggested. As well as General Organics... you can simply learn to grow.

Once you have it down you can switch up as needed... but I'm STILL using them products AND have 96 plants...

Keeps the dust out.
I use the Pollen filters because of direct intake from outside. The spring time pollen would do some fucked up shit to my purty buds if I didnt. Lol

No. The pollen from trees and wild flowers and shit they is in the air gets all up in there... You dont have a yearly coating of yellow dust on every fuckin thing outside or near an open window there in your state?? Lol.

Pollen from other plants can fry my pistils(early amber) before they are even close to maturity. Happened to my Ripper Seeds GrapeGum last spring..

Very nice, I went through your whole journal too. Do you have any suggestions on feeding schedule and what not with the General Organics?

Page 1 or 2 here has my NORMAL feeding schedule. Ive been going very light lately to see how much I can save by not nuting every watering.

This is what I do with most strains if my grow is small enough.

I stopped using the sweetener as well. Though I may bring it in for a few Blue Dream clones if needed.

Oh I must have missed that somehow, I thought I saw it in your journal before and then went looking earlier and must have just missed a page. Thanks for the help once I get to these stages I'll share my results!

Also I'm only going to with most likely 4 plants for my first grow so I should be able to use amounts around that. Do you use all of those on every watering or like every other? A lot of noob questions I know but it's my first time and want as much to go right as I can make happen lol

You are doing what most don't. Research before you start.
Start with a good inert medium, like CocoGro for your first time. The brick is enough for your 4 plants and , costs about $15. And use plain water for the first 20 days minimum. Ive used nutrients once in 30 days of growth so far on this grow...

After those few weeks start AS DIRECTED ON THE FEEDING CHART. One will come with the GOBOX if you get that.

Ok thanks for all the help Stew I'll do just that and the is what I'm going with. Yes I'm learning as much as I can before starting. That's why they haven't been started yet, tryna learn more first and not rush it.

Thanks Stew I should be able to stop bugging you guys for knowledge long enough to get started now! Well another thing before I start... I have 12 seeds that I bought right now ane 1 that I got out of a batch of Bubba Kush crossed with Blue Dream (never even had a seed out of any of this quality stuff before) the others I have are Berry Ryder from Auto Seeds, Vanilla Kush from Barney's, Purple Kush From Buddha Seeds (auto), Berry Bomb from Bomb Seeds, Auto Blue Northern Lights from Delicious Seeds, White Widow X Big Bud from X-Line, Auto Northern Lights from Nirvana, Deimos from Buddha (Auto), and Vertigo from Paradise Seeds. I was wondering If anybody that knows about any of these strains could tell me if I should grow certain ones together or how many you guys think I should do for the first time. I only have one closet to grow in about 2' deep by 5' wide by 6' tall so vegging and flowering would be done here... for now.
