Sorry for late reply guys. Sykosis is obviously well versed, but I'll throw in my 2 cents as well. I find that if you germinating your seeds, to leave them in the paper towel for an extra day after sprouting. I find this helps the tap root grow un-hindered, making you sprout pop up sooner after planting. Also as to the soil question, I saw sykosis uses a soil-less mix. I do not prefer these, but that's mainly because using soil-less mix can be a real hassle, and i noticed no difference in the way my plants turned out when using soil-less. I prefer to put germed seeds into "fox farm ocean forest" soil. This soil is THE BEST!! (IMHO, of course) I mix it with some dry fertilizer that has good nitrogen content before potting. This soil is my favorite for both indoor and out, all you need is some bat guano and you have the makings of some dank buds. hope that helps, all the best.

peace

Awesome guys, thanks! My one plant that is outdoors right now is doing very well in the soil I mixed up. The soil here is pretty rich already, but I mixed in a few bags of composted manure and some vermiculite. I fertilize with seaweed/fish fertilizer as it is far less likely to overfeed the plants. Coupled with bat guano, my latest indoor lady is looking most luscious!

Now to just get me some nice outdoor buds....

I second the part about fox farm and using bat guano. Friend of mine swears by it and the results speak for themselves. Outdoor and in.

hey pea body, glad we could help you! let us know if you run into any problems :]

peace
