Hey guys I'm still fairly new to growing and needed your help and suggestions on a few things to benefit me yield & potency wise
Any constructive help or suggestions to my questions will be praised! Don't have to answer all questions, suggesting something for one will be praised!
My growing medium: 50L Canna Coco Coir, 10L Vermiculite, 10L Perlite , 7L Yates Organic Plant Food (NPK 3.7-2-1.
?, 2KG Wettasoil Water Granules, 200mL Water crystals
Hydro Nutrients: General Hydroponics 3-part Flora Series.
[For those that dont know 1L=1000mL (1000g) 1KG=1000g (1000mL)]
I have linked all my items below
Q1. Should I go with this growing medium?
Q2. Should I keep the Organic Plant food & feed it the GH Nutes?
Q3. How often should/would I be able to feeding my babies the GH Nutes if I keep the Organic Plant food?
Q4. Should I add a Potting mix? If so, should I add one with an added fertilizer or not?
Q5. Should I just scrap the Organic Plant Food and just go with the Hydro Nutes?
Q6. Also what could I do to protect my babies from storms and harsh rain?
Q7. I heard females produce 'bananas' (that are full of pollen if dissected) if left in the flowering stage long enough, is this true for every strain? And would they create enough pollen to breed?
Q8. What else do you guys suggest to help store water and nutrients more & more efficiently in my medium? I've been looking for expanded clay but whenever I do find it it's way too expensive
Q9.How much dolomite lime should I add to the medium? Would this stop cal/mag deficiencies?
Q10. Should I also be adding Peat Moss to this medium?
Q11. When transplanting should I mix and/or blend the ground soil into my medium?
Q12. Would I need to protect my plants from the pesky neighborhood cats? The cunts roam around the whole street thinking they own the place
Q13. What should I do to camouflage/hide them from neighbors, and helicopters (if they can see them)? Would only grow about 6 MAX in an open backyard, (not willing to grow other plants to use as camouflage)
Q14. Any specific way /angle I should dig the hole (for flowering)? Any techniques to hold water better?
Q15. What techniques like topping & FIMing can I do to benefit me?
Last question - Would starting a seedling in this growing medium be foolish? Or should I just add the Plant food after 2 weeks? OR would purchasing this Seedling raising mix benefit me better: http://www.bunnings.com.au/products...ing+mix&searchType=any&searchSubType=products
I will be usually watering every 2 days(if it doesn't rain). I will be transplanting into 2x2x2 holes in the ground.
It rains here probably every 2 days, temperatures average around 14-19 and we are in our last month of winter, but where I live 146 days where precipitation were recorded in a year. 100 of those days there is between only 1-10mm of rain that falls. Melbourne has an average 650mm of rain a year, and rains mostly in the autumn & summer time
Thanks for your time and help guys, any advice will be much appreciated! Blaze on
