Hey everyone.
Ive been planning this for some time now. I plan to grow inside of a PC case for stealth reasons ive cleared out the case and its ready to be fitted with the necessary materials which ill be getting on thursday. :clap: I Shall be using CFL lights. Now the strain I have chosen is the Easyryder (AK-47 x Lowryder #2) I really don't have a clue about what soil or nutriets that i should be using if someone could give me advice or point me in the right direction i would be most grateful!
 
As far as soil: Fox Farm is the heavy hitter of soils for marijuana. DONT GET MIRACLE GROW!!! You want to avoid soils with nutrients added to them mainly. Oh, for a PC grow, you want a wide and shallow rectangular pot, to maximize soil volume and maximize space for growth. I would recommend SCRoGing or at least LSTing your plant, PCs dont have much room in them, but are good stealth and fun to tackle.

As far as nutrients, look for a fertilizer aimed for flowering and budding plants. You wont want to feed it till its 2 weeks old, and it will start flowering there as its an auto. You want something that has a N-P-K (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium ratio) of about 10-20-20 (5-10-10 is the same ratio, they are just proportions). Start feeding it 1/2 strength doses (about 1 teaspoon per gallon water) at about 2 weeks old, after 2 weeks or so move to full strength doses, and pretty soon, youll have a harvest!

Good luck man, keep us posted!

im with mvnuggets. i stay away from MG, unless its on another house plant. but some people have had successful grows with it, soo its all up to the individual. try Foxfarm oceanforest and foxfarm happy frog (mixed together)

Im in a soilless medium... personally i like to know what, how much, and when im feeding my plants, its easier when trying to diagnose problems since in the time release you dont know when or how much nutrients it is releasing...
