That old and easy feeling.
I am just over 2 weeks into my first grow and I am already starting to think about how I would like to do my second grow and I have a few questions that I hope you knowledgeable grow gurus can help me out with.
Currently I am using
Happy Frog. I am using a 96x3 Mars Hydro Reflector LED with 4-6 23w 5000K CFL's for additional lighting. I am using 3 gal. pots which have a lot of good drainage in the bottom and lower sides.
For my second grow, I am thinking of using a mix of Ocean Forest with Happy Frog for the majority of the pot but placing a mix of Happy Frog and Light Warrior about 4-6 inches down and center with Light Warrior as the top 2-3 inches of the pot. I plan on using about 30% perlite mixed in as well with all the soils. What do you think about this?
The reason I want to do this is for the babies and their roots. In my current first grow, I placed the seeds, once germinated into the Happy Frog. They are alive and doing well but I did notice that they were slow to start as well as some leaves were deformed which to me could possibly be that the soil was a bit too hot for them.
In regards to the roots. I would like to also give them a boost once they have germinated and I have placed them in the soil. What kind of additives or nutrients can I give them from the beginning to help the roots really bulk up and be strong?
Within the 2 weeks of my grow, I have seen 2 gnats. 1 a week ago and 1 last night. I am keeping my eye on the plants and plan to take action if I see more. What do you recommend that I add to the soil from the beginning to stop this from happening again?
Thanks for any feedback. Comments, suggestions are very welcome.
