Getting my foot in the door. Going organic.

NOT the LOBSTER MEAL! Some real stoners over here in Maine and they put a picture of lobster meal instead of the fish bone meal that you actually need. My 5 gallons plants are bigger than my 3g plants and went for a longer period of time without issues, but I would need to aim to amend preventatively not reactively. So I really need to choose a pot size and work on the perfecting the schedule with one type of nutrient line IMO. But my stoner curiosity has me needing to try the recommended 15g for one plant. I think you can definitely stick with a 5g and be successful it will just take a few grows to perfect. And with CoM Stonington as a base I pulled 2oz off 3g pots and expect more from the 5g plants with a slew of rookie mistakes made along the way each time. So I think for personal consumption needs we will all be fine with our plans

LMFAO I was wondering why the hell there was lobster meal pictured but it said fish meal... So I think I will probably end up doing 5, 5 gallon pots, and following the CoM autoflower feeding schedule. I'm currently feeding 4 plants 1x everyday. I would be more than happy to amend once every few weeks. Plus the total cost is actually slightly less than I would have had to spend before.

It's always an individual choice, but you wont need anything but soil and perlite for 3-4 weeks in 5 gallon pots.
I'm doing four 5 gallon pots in about two weeks. 25% perlite and CoM soil.

Do you know if we are supposed to cut the CoM soil with a certain amount of perlite or EWC? Or just straight into the 5 gallon pots?

A couple of us CoM guys are kind of using Newman's CoM thread to keep in touch on using that schedule, your welcome to chime in anytime.

It's just kind of a rule of thumb to add 20-30% perlite or something else to help drainage.

Ok good to know. I was under the impression it already had a lot of perlite in it so I should get some perlite too

I think like 5% perlite in a bag, but I'm not positive on that. Just FYI, there's about 11 gallons of soil in a bag of Stonington.

Wow thank you so much. Ive literally been looking up how many gallons come in one bag xD. Is that for the 1.5 cu/ft bag?

Yes, 1.5cu/ft comes out to around 11.2 gallons.
