Need Help: Living Soil + SOG

Discussion in 'First Time Marijuana Growers' started by Letsgetbakedbro, Jan 30, 2024.

  1. I have posted this question but I think it was in the wrong section. Have also posted on this website before and got help but never took the shot.... now I am trying to grow again after growing mushroom successfully and now feel confident seeing how the “bros” in the Shroom forum tried to put me down and I succeeded without PC air filter etc.

    Now I’m not saying I will cut corners or ignore advise, it’s that I realize reading so much and mixing things resulted in success and had I listened to those forum users, I would’ve quit or probably failed. Main thing was money and same thing with the weed grow now.


    To keep it simple:

    - I have 320w LED light with LM281B chips
    - 3x2 grow tent
    - 190 CFM fan + carbon filter
    - 6x clip fans between 4in and 6in
    - 100x 4 and 5 inch pots (50 pots with domes)
    - 12 seeds I want to run as mothers and clone
    - will build my own living soil AFTER my first grow as I will need to let it “cook” so I can’t wait


    FOR MY MAIN QUESTION:

    1. If I use living soil like Gaia Green (or Ocean Farm) do I need to add nutes at the start? I assume not but want to confirm

    2. Since I will do SOG this means 1 week veg maximum 2 week - how will I time my top dressing the living soil?

    3. Should I even spend the time and money using living soil for SOG or should I use basic soil/DWC?

    4. If DWC is better how would I go about using totes to run 35-50 clones in the 2x3 tent?

    I know many of you will think the setup is stupid, but I already have pounds on pounds in packs and I don’t want to keep buying so I want to grow and have bud to smoke by the time I kill these packs.


    I’m not patient, and I made this clear in the Shroom forum. Hell either I have good genetics or luck because the Petri dishes I left over months grew mushrooms in the agar, each petri as matter of fact. So knowing I cut down my time with shrooms I’m confident I can do the same with weed but it’s not meant to say I will cut corners or cheat. I’m perfectionist so believe I will be OCD on getting this going right!

    PS: my RH is normally 33% and summer maybe 44% in the basement and temps usually 67-72f or 19-21c

    My mushrooms didn’t mold or die first run even going bulk and I think it’s to do with my dryness/moisture as going upstairs would help me increase RH/temp but never high enough to cause mold... petri I kept in basement since summer 2023 have not got mold or rot and still a dish full of agar... if that helps for reference
