New Grower SiriusB - Dutch Passion WW x BKB x SS

[SiriusB]

Hello fellow AFN members and auto growing entrepreneurs! This is my next grow up on the chopping block. Please feel free to sub in and help these ladies explode with potential. I greatly appreciate everyone helping me throughout this learning curve. Couldn't do it without the support! Stay safe, stoned, and much love! ENJOY!

Dutch Passion - 1 x White Widow Fem
Dutch Passion - 1 x Blackberry Fem
Spanish Seed - 1 x Super Skunk Fem

Indoor grow
Soil mix - 40% Fox Farm Ocean Forest, 25% Light Warrior, 15% perlite, 10% peat moss, 10% hydroton clay pebbles.
Area -3.5' x 3.5' x 6'
Nutes - GH micro, grow, bloom, kool bloom, great white.
Lights - 400W MH/HPS - T5 - CFL (possible upgrade to LED soon!)
Controlled Environment - 73-78 F, 35-50% Hum, fans and carbon exhaust.
All my water is RO and aerated at all times (If needed will add small amounts of CaMg).
20/4 light cycle

Germination start date - 6-4-15

DAY 5 FROM SEED
So here we are, I started all seeds in small 5" net pots which then I set in 5 gal final pots after about 5-7 days under T5. I do not transplant but rather just sit inside final pot. Note i premixed all soils in big containers then filled each appropriate pot watered with plain Ph then removed from center enough soil for net pot to start germ. No nutes will be used for first 2-3 weeks, only Great White once per week feeding and at 1/4 strength. Let's have some fun!

Looks like youve put some work into your growroom Sirius,well done mate.
I will tag along with you on this one if you dnt mind.
Did you add any dolomite of lime to your soil mix to counteract peat moss going acidic afte about 4-6 weeks.
1-2 tbsp/US gallon is normal doseage.

Normally its mixed into the soil about 3 weeks before you pot up,as its slow working.
You want the powdered DoL as it will work its way into your soil as you water.Top dress or mix with water.
Be careful of new roots if you try to mix some in with your finger.

Should I start using now or wait for signs that I need it?
