Welcome to 420 Broski! It took me a while to get you into journalism but your path has just begun! Glad you’re here. I’m not very knowledgeable in soil as you know but my pal @Bill284 is one of the best soil and 420 ambassadors I know. You’re in good hands at 420 rest assured

My question would be when do you start giving your plant #nutrients? From what I’ve read and watched on yt if you have pre-amended soil you should wait 21-40 days(just add water when needed) if I do need to wait those days does the feeding schedule start at week 1 or the week of the flower.

Good Morning my friend, welcome.
Where have you been hiding out?
You mentioned a mix 70/30 coco perlite & DYNOMYCO.
You also mentioned motherearth terracraft as your soil?
Before I can recommend nutrients and a feed schedule I need to know exactly what's in the pot and ratios.
I find one or the other is best.
Mixing soil and coco can cause ph feed issues.
Take care.
Talk soon.

I guess I could not add the coco perlite to the mix. I got it cause I thought it would help with air flow & water retention

You don't want too much water retention with soil.
Especially indoors.
Soil requires a drying period.
Ph in soil is 6.3 coco is 5.8, mixing too much together causes issues.
I layer perlite for air retention, Bill284 Method.
Works in soil or coco, great for growth.
I can point you to a pictorial if you like.
A little coco is good, maby 10% tops.
Once you have your mix figured out we can talk nutrients.

Hey buddy good to see ya! Quick question if I may. A buddy put a plant in regular dirt, he’s not wanting to spend much, is there a cheap one bag type option I could help him transplant? It’s an auto so it would have to be sooner than later

The only soil that can go to harvest without nutrients is a living soil.
Easiest thing to do would be get a granular nutrient like Gaia Green flowering nutrient 2-8-4.
Mix it into the soil with lots of perlite .
Should be ok for a bit then you just sprinkle some on top of the soil and water as usual.
It's very simple.
Just follow the instructions on the container.
Easy peezy.

I’m not exactly sure how much 10% would be so my figuring would be maybe 1 cup of it in each 5g fabric pot

10% of 5 gallons would be a half gallon max

 

[mrsin420]

Didn’t use the perlite coco mix as the soil already has plenty in it. Dropped them into solo cups today

I was in soil outdoors in a 25-gallon pot. It worked fine and I fo;;owed the instructions thru veg then I had someone do the numbers and changed it up some. I do not know how to do the nutrient numbers but Shed does and he did them for me.

What’s the temp threshold outdoors? Say it’s 100f, you’d wanna be in the shade yeah?

There is no moving the plants when they get as big as mine are, so you take what God gives you for weather.
