Ok this is my second grow indoor's, I planned on a rough first start planned no to little yield, was a learning expierment. So Just gonna throw some do's and dont's I have learned. im gonna skip the seeding germinating part You get it started hope you can get it to grow!(I will throw in dont use any fertilizers until your seedling has atleast its first real set of leaves). Ok Vegetative I Did 18/6 lighting And am useing a standard good quality fertilizer (mircle Grow) and I use a mineral supplement called super thrive, Which I think is the best supplement of non NPK nutrits you need. I am supercropping for more Buds So week 1 thru 4 I super cropped as many Cola's as I could. I gave it 2 more weeks in veg stat and changed my npk ratio to 10-50-10 fast dissolving acting I did that for the higher Nitrogen for the new growth super high phos to add more blooming sites to plant.Potash for added buddling sites growing larger. after that I went to the 12/12 cycle planning on 8 week cycle as the seed high genetics says flowering time.
Week 1: Continued same nutriets for the stretch 10-50-10
Week 2: Switched to Big Bud and Bud Candy ( still useing SuperThrive thru every water cycle)
Week 3: Same feeding schedule as week 2
Week 4: Bud Candy and Superthrive to continue Amino Acids and base Nutrients
Week 5: Plan Same as 5
Week 6: Plan to give it Same as 5 and 1 last half does Big Bud
Week 7: Flush Plant
Week 8: Flush Plant check for havest Ripens I like a good relaxing heavy Buz So look for about 70% trychomes Amber.
Genetics: The Genetic of the Seed or Clone is the Limit of the Quality of the smoke. The Increasers like Like Bud Candy when it says it increases Potency by say 35% it is giveing it the proper Carbs and bacteria to allow it to reach the potiental to the seed But a 9% THC will produce 9% and a 31% can reach 31.
Lighting: Lighting is So important during growing you are limited by light's on your Plant Dont over do Plants sometimes less is more. Know during Veg I used a 600 W veg MH Bulb, When Switchings to Flower I Switched Bulbs to a HPS 600 Veg bulb and LED Multi Spectrum LED To Make the Lower and inside Buds Grow no lack of light.
Nutrients/Ph: PH needs to stay around 6 to 7 will grow perfect pot some Nutients like Big Bud has a PH Balancer. Knowing when and what type of defiency you have fix as soon as possible PH and NPK test kits. Useing Superthrive weekly you will not have any other Defeciency.
Watering: Dont over water or Underwater I have Learned to water when I Can stick my fingers into my knuckles there dry water.
Harvesting and cureing: I recommend a Cool dark area and to all to hang for 7 days. Maicure before or after up to you. Put in sealed jars open daily for about 2 weeks to let it get fresh air and release any moisture that may be there Dont want Mold. Enjoy your Smoke my friends.

Know I dont have Amber in 8 weeks as stated Im only in week 4 of flowering added a little extra time veg 4 to 6 weeks to harvest the seed/plant says 8 to 9 weeks to flower may take 10 but I pick at 70% Amber. as far as being a newby yes to indoor growing 30+ outdoors But with Medical now not a issue im able to move inside.only telling what I did with the help of lots of you all's advice I read before asking questions. and added my own tricks seems healthy to me so we so how it goes in 4 to 6 weeks

Also does anyone actually have a issue with my grow method please let me know still learning as said
I don't think big bud or bud candy contain microbes.

Carbs feed the microbes already present.

I was a little unclear the way you explained it.

Some will tell you not to use superthrive in flower. Others say they use it.

Also how do the microbes deal with the mg fert?
Whatever works for you is fine with me

After thinking about it my main concern would be this

Lets imagine

We start with good outdoor soil
With microbes

Then we dump salt all over them and then they die.

Next we dump carbs on our dead microbes.

Kind of counter productive.
Im not saying that is happening because im not familiar with your main fertilizer but If I were you i would decide.
Salts or organic.

You can go mostly organic but its something you have to really plan and think about.

As odd as it sounds you could actually get away with the counterproductive method I described and harvest bud

But that don't men it is a good method and imagine how much time and money as well as yield and quality was wasted.
