I've got a 6 sq/ft grow room with mylar and 200 watts of "Gro-Lux, Wide Spectrum" flourescents (supposed to be the best flouros out there). I started with pop-up Peat Pellets and 8 bag seeds from some very high quality smoke. I'm hoping for 2 or 3 healthy ladies to make it thru to the end. So far after 5 days I've got 3 broken thru and about 1 to 2 inches high. What I noticed is a single taproot has broken thru the bottom and coiled around a bit. Is this normal? Should I transplant already? Also what is the best potting soil to get? One that is high in nitrogen or one that is high in phosphate? I already bought Shultz's "Moisture-Plus" potting soil with the numbers .08-.12-.08. Is this OK? Speaking of fertilizer, what is the best fert to use during the 3 stages of it's cycle(seedling,veg,flower)? I do know to use a super-bloom formula or something that is high in phosphate during the flower stage but what about the other two? How often do I fertilize? This is my first time growing and I want to learn from people out there actually doing it. Thanks for any and all help.
I forgot, don't use any ferts for the first few weeks ok, then you only need to fert about once a week, no need to kill them with over fert! Containers ideally need to be 3-5 gal capacity ok.
What kind of fert do you recomend? Shultz? Miracle-Gro? Peters? Should I start with one that is higher in nitrogen content?
