Hello lads, I have never grown anything in my life before and I decided to start my new hobby of growing with an indoor cannabis grow tent.
I have a .8m X .8m X 1.6m grow tent.
600W LED
2 - 15 Litre Pots
Nutrients: GHE Flora Grow / Bloom / Micro + CalMag and PHup/down
Seeds I am deciding between: Green Gelato, Royal Cheese & Sweet ZZ
I need some guidance on the following below.
Soil
- I am currently looking to purchase Biobuzz Light Mix Soil; Would this soil alone suffice if I have the added nutrients above being administered after the first few weeks ?
Nutrients
- When should I add cal-mag to the plants ?
- I have this schedule which I copied from another site were it gave me the nutrition schedule for the seeds beginning on week 3 and ending around week 8. Can anyone let me know if this will suffice ?

Germination
- I would feel more comfortable just putting the seeds directly into the pot that they will grow from rather than in a paper towel or another method, is this advised or are there adverse affects in germinating seeds this way ?
- Also, how do I know if I placed my seeds upside down or if they are growing upside down ?
Testing PH of soil
- How do I go about testing the soils PH levels, do I need to mix the soil with Distilled Water or is there another method ?
- How often do I calibrate my PH tester ?
Storage of Seeds
- If I buy 3 seeds but only use 2, how can I store the extra one for future use without destroying it ?
I am excited to start this new hobby, any info and help to the above questions would be greatly appreciated. I will try and start a grow journal once I have the information I need and hopefully I can get a half decent plant grown. I am expecting things to go wrong and to learn more from my mistakes in this grow than to achieve a stellar yield.
