In regards to: "In order to get this fill your pot up with dirt all the way up to about an inch shy of the rim of the pot. This guarantees that you are using every square centimeter of the pot, for the all important roots" I realize this now, however when I was first starting it wasn't something that occured to me. In regards to using big bloom, I haven't actually started using that yet, it is just one of the nute bottles I have, and intend on using, during the flowering stage, like you said. Thanks for the advice though, keep it coming guys. be as picky as possible, the harsher you are on me, the better my plants will benefit!
