Help! How to grow with very limited, specific options?

Dear Forum Members,

I hope you all are doing well.

This is my first post, so i would appreciate if you are patient with me.
I am a complete Newbie. I have never grown a single plant in my life.
But the time has come to grow my own marijuana.

I have questions about growing Cannabis. Some easy, some complicated.
I have searched the internet for answers, some forums too. I have found some answers, but i havent been able to formulate a plan that would help me grow.

You see, I live in a country where i do not have access to nutrients like General Hydroponics, Fox Farm, Advanced nutrients, etc. so i cannot use them as nutrients. In addition, i also have very limited , very specific kinds of soil and nutrients available. I can grow this hydroponically but for the time being, i would like some help with soil based growing.

If i just ask a question like "what should i use as a basic soil mix" , then i would get the answers which may not help me since the soil contents you suggest may not be available. However, if i tell you whats available , then you may be able to help with specifying what i could use from whats available.

i will be uploading some pics of Soil and Nutrients and i would be grateful if you could help me set up a good soil mix and nutrients through the Seedling - Veg - Flower - Harvest period.

Just to add some more information to the mix.

I will be growing in a 2x4 Gorilla tent, with a Platinum Led P450 Light, if that makes any difference...

Once again, im a noob , so would appreciate details.


Looking forward to hear from you all.

Thank you

Hi there and welcome to :420: :passitleft:
Your starting out with a nice light and tent
Its kinda hard for me to see pics sideways , those have to be rotated before uploading them or taken at different angles.
There looks to be plenty of useful stuff there. I personally would look on labels for organic fertilizers and a basic mix with out synthetic slow release fertilizer added.
I think you could get more help in a different place here where more experienced people go to help us out . Like the Frequently Asked Questions thread in the Grow Room
Frequently Asked Questions
I like and use a tomato vegetable fertilizer start to finish with other ammendments I make ,compost and earthworm castings.
That bone meal could be added for extra in flowering. These fertilizers have lower NPK numbers than those chemical ones so you would have to let us know what route of growing your wanting to try too
 
drainage in the soil is extremely important, if the drainage is bad you will suffocate the roots and badly damage the plants, so you will want to mix medium with perlite at 50/50 ratio, and look at the soil you choose for any info on drainage. Perlite should be available at garden stores, although i have found it much cheaper to mail order.
