New Grower

    I just bought a tent setup from AC Infinity, I have some seeds and years ago I grew with Hydroponics so my knowledge is rusty.

    This time I plan to use soil. Can someone recommend soil and nutrients and everything I need to go from seedling to flower?

    Thanks!

    I use Happy Frog soil ( I don’t eat shellfish so I can’t use Ocean Forrest). Mostly general organics, with Recharge, and Bud candy.

    I do short runs with multiple strains for variety. I start in solo cups with Happy Frog and transplant to Ocean Forest in 3 gallon fabric pots once the solos are established. I pH to 6.2 to 6.5 every time because of previous pH lockout issues in soil. Gaia Green organic fertilizer and top dress with one tablespoon of their 4-4-4 and 2 tablespoons of their 2-8-4 per container at about the 3 week mark after transplant. Then again about 3 weeks later with 3 tablespoons of the 2-8-4. I use recharge and silicic acid as directed on the labels and suggested by Scotty and Dude. You got this.

    After sleeping on this I wonder if the easiest way would be Grow Dots and high quality coco coir. Not soil per se but a fantastic medium by all accounts.

    Just know that any bagged soilless mix you get will run out of nutes in 4 to 5 weeks. If you are building a soil, you can probably load it up to last a little bit longer. But if you’re using happy frog or some other soilless you will need to feed it something toward the end of cycle. I prefer Big Rootz because my homie makes it and I know what goes in. Always consistent and always clean compared to foxfarm mixes
