I have been doing lots of reading around here trying to getting a better grasp on growing and all other aspects. From everything I've been reading I think this soil package from HTG Supply would cover basically everything I need. High Tech Garden Supply I was hoping someone could verify or tell me what I'm lacking from this list of supplies. Thanks in advance.
Yeah thats how I was feelings towards it. Just wasn't sure it was covering all grounds of Nutes/ I know I need vermiculite or something of the sort. Also, is it super important for the bulbs to be 6500k and 2700k or does it matter either way?
The light (400W ballast, reflector, HPS bulb, MH conversion bulb, reflector, cords) is available from HTG for $165. I don't really think the rest of the stuff in that package is worth $184...?
I think your nutes are covered with the FF "trio" pack plus the AN Overdrive so don't sweat that. Some growers amend the Ocean Forest soil by adding perlite (not so much vermiculite) in ratios from 25% up to about 50% perlite. I personally use FFOF straight out of the bag and have no problems but it's your choice. The package contains both MH and HPS bulbs. You'll use the MH (6500K) during veg. and switch over the HPS (2700K) during flowering.
All right awesome I was really concerned about my nutes. Also, how much nutes are generally used like I think that trio pack is quarts. Is that enough to cover one grow? Or possibly 12? Thanks for the help so far guys.
You can do several grows, depending on number/size of plants, with one 'trio' pack. You'll go through Big Bloom faster since you use more of that and more often than the other two.
The nutrients will last you ATLEAST one grow. You mix them in ratios of about 1/2 - 1 tps per gallon of water. You will have plenty. here is a feeding schedule http://www.foxfarmfertilizer.com/soilfeed.pdf
