first serious grow, trying to keep it organic
hello everyone i am new to the site but have checked it out multiple times for advice my friend is also a member on here and i liked the eagerness everyone showed when he needed help in his grows. so i little background for this grow is that i just wanted to start them inside probably and then transplant them to an outdoor area but im trying to keep it as organic as possible and just looking for advice for my seedling soil mix i picked up FoxFarm peace of mind fertilizer (3-4-3) thats supposed to promote healthy root growth i also picked up a bag of garden lime for when its needed as well as marine cuisine (10-7-7) for the future too and some high phosphorous bat guano for when she starts flowering but any advice is welcome here i need to know how to mix my soils when to change them and when to start certain feeding schedule's
Thankkk you in advance feel free to ask me any questionns too! |

First of all I will recommend you use moonshine Mix It's really easy and simple for beginners. Here's the link https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=23970, this is the easiest mix and a really good one too. Just mix a whole of each when using moonshine mix, and Good Luck, keeps us update it.

i would buy a bag of peat and a bag of perlite and a bag of earthworm castings - mix 'em 2pts peat and 1pt ea of the others
apply some dolomite lime @ 1 TBs/gal of soil mix and give it some thorough mixing garden centers and hardware stores have everything you need you can use the amendments you mentioned w/ this mix (it's potting soil / pro mix / container mix) then you know you dont have any "pre-ferts" or watering agents or funky stuff in your mix
