Just a question and not wanting to sound mean or anything...what is your experience level with growing?
We have seen some people jump right in with no experience and get totally discouraged when it fails.....

none, i grew twice in tent autos without any nutes or training, like Fastbuds autos, they still came out nice, they were in supersoil only

thats why im here, will need all the knowledge , I read a lot

Ok, so you do have some experience.....great, feel free to ask anything, and as you"ve noticed you'll get all kinds of answers, lol.
Basically there is no one right way and we experiement all the time.

my experience is just sticking autos in supersoil, the rest was easy, just watered them
This time I plan LTS, and may b ScroG net
and play with nutes a bit
I think add nutes when start flowering, cuz to that point soil will support plant, may b if I add calmag it will be over kill, so may b better around flowering for beetter buds

I have cal-mag, it's been on the shelf since first grow....I use auto pots, Happy Frog and start nutes at around 4 weeks. MegaCrop 1 part with a pinch of epsom salt and RO water. I too love the simple things in life. Most nutrient lines should have enough of everything needed with minor adjustments for individual needs.

So how much perlite does specialty soil like Biobiz Light already have added? I add more, but I am just guessing/eyeballing. I think I end up with a total of at least 25%.

Vermiculite to retain
Perlite to drain.
One third by volume either or.
