Hello Everyone,
I hope I've landed on the right forum. I am looking for some advice with my first grow setup. I am planning to grow 2 plants. The outdoor space is outside my house. (I live near Toronto Canada if it matters).
I just bought these seed (to be more specific) = Seeds: AUTO AK FEM - 2 Seeds, Amnesia AUTO FEM (Canuk Seeds) - 1 Seed from Buy Cannabis Seeds at #1 Marijuana Seeds Store | True North Seed Bank
I have many questions that hopefully someone could provide some clarification on. My goal is a somewhat "simple" setup for first time. Ideally it won't be an expensive setup but if the benefits outweigh the cost then I will incorporate. Please remember I am in Canada if linking suggestions
Container: I am thinking of using two Hempy buckets (Home Depot buckets with holes near the bottom) any other suggestions?
Soil: Here I'm struggling the most because I don't necessarily understand what the plant needs? what kind of soil? is there soil that doesn't need fertilizers or nutrients? Could you explain why X soil is good and does it need X nutrients? I was considering using PRO MIX HP PRO-MIX BX General Purpose Growing Medium | The Home Depot Canada
Nutrients/Fertilizers: Similarly to above, I am confused what nutrients or fertilizers are REQUIRED for a good grow? Are they required at all? Any suggestions would help.
PerLite: I've seen this recommended is it necessary? What purpose do this severe ccompared to nutrients?
Worm Castings etc.. : Again slightly confused about the purpose of something like this?
PH Levels: I've also read a lot about PH, clearly it should be monitored however are there some nutrients that simplify this process? it is necessary to monitor?
Thank you for all you're help. I realize I know very little and will try to keep researching
