Indoor 2nd grow gear up

[freedom4all]

Alright well I have my first grow almost under my belt and thanks to everyone here at afn I have learned alot

Some of the thing I have learned is don't stress so much lol I thought all my plants were going to fawk up big time and they actually seem to be pulling through so just relax this ain't like growing peppers

I also learned that just filtered water makes a huge difference I was running tap for a while and totally stunted my girls I'm sure switched to filtered water and they took off

Don't be afraid to add dry nutes as a top dress I have added in some of the Dr earth's 555 and 572 just scratch them in with a fork and water good to go

So here is where I'm at now I want to do a good journal as much as work will allow. And I wanted to start with about 2 weeks preparation so here us where I am at

the upgrades
1 I upgraded to 5 gallon root pots from 3 gallon smart pot and 2 gallon plastic pots after having lots of low branches making watering a real pita I'm thinking a 5 gallon pot will not only increase plant size but overall make things easier in the tent

2 going to try and get 1 hopefully 2 144x3 reflector mars leds with my 600 watt hps in the middle but I'm almost thinking getting a t5 light might help seedling stage a lot so any advice on seedlings under led would be good

3 New soil and nutes. I love the Dr earth's stuff it's done me well on my first grow however I'm pretty sure I have some better understanding of things so here is the soil mix

1 bag dr earth's pot of gold
3 ounces by volume of kelp fish and cotton seed meals
Along with 3 ounces by volume of Dr earth's 555 and 572
3 ounces by volume of garden lime
16 qt perlite

As for nutes I just ordered 1.5 lb of the sea grow 16-16-16 and the 4-26-26 I am hoping that this is going to be a killer combo and get me some good plants and I'm hoping that the lime in the soil will help with any cal mag issues

4 propagation so I saw a thread on here of a guy using root riot cubes in a little glad container. Looked pretty simple but I can't remember who it was cause I'm curious if he was just using filtered water or what?

So this is where I'm at right now I really wanna get this grow off right so any help as I'm getting set up for this next grow will be great

Thanks again for everyone that has helped me here chuck

Alright so for my second grow I'm going to pick up some black sugar rose. G13 pineapple express and I am debating giving flash seeds one more try... with the Panama lime that he has but after 6 seeds of Russian haze and only 1 came up I'm a little not sure about it

And we are off here is a dinafem blue amnesia xxl and a flash Russian haze they both came up on about March 24th if memory serves right so this is how they look so far I fed some dr earths 333 liquid fertilizer solution and some Epsom salts as well as about 3 tsp of molasses while I'm waiting for my grow more sea grow line to come in figured they'd like a little food I also gave the same feed to my Russian haze seedlings just about a tsp of the feed to them they seemed to like here here they are at 5 days now enjoy

Alright well I gave them a good feeding of sea grow 16-16-16 and they are growing right a long it's been about 2.5 weeks since the pop so all they got so far was a good feeding of epsom salts molasses and some dr earths 333 but last night they got their good feeding and wow they jumped the Russian haze is now larger than the blue amnesia I'm thinking I should put it in a 7 gallon smart pot before she gets to wild and crazy really with my 5 gallon pots would show up soon
