Soil

[justjr27]

I sorry for so many questions Im probaly annoying everyone I know nothing about this growing stuff I was told by a member to use fox farm ocean forest How many 50 lbs bags will i need for 20 4 gallon pots and what nut should i use with this soil

pounds is irrelevant. Volume is relavant. bags of soil are usually 1.5 cubic feet. Bales are 3.8 cu ft ( I believe)

Anyways with that being said

1 gallon = 0.1336806 cubicfeet

So..

4 gallon pot will hold 4 x 0.1336806 = .5347224 cuft

1 bag will fill roughly 3 x 4 gal pots
1 bale will fill roughly 7 x 4 gal pots

keep in mind soil settles in once you water a few times and may may need to add a bit more to the top layer.

what about the nuts what kind to u recommed

 

[McBudz]

I like Age Old Grow for veg. And grow big / tiger bloom during bloom. I run grow big for the first few weeks of flowering and tapering off GB and increasing TB. You can run GB for veg. I just like Age Old more. There are tons of different nutes out their. Try different ones out till you find out what your plants like. Thats what's most important.

Yup. FF's schedule is pretty good.

should i use big while veg and then stop during flowering and only use tiger bloom

 

[McBudz]

You can do that. But I would make a gradual transition though. All GB during veg. 1/2 GB 1/2 TB for 1st week or 2 of flowering then all TB. Then weeks 3-4 or 4-5 add some GB to the TB to bump the Nitrogen up.
