Special requirements for indoor

[stinker]

I started my first indoor grow and bought my first tent (2’3”x 2’3”). Is there anything specific to indoor that doesn’t apply to outdoor? For example, Calmag; I see that most indoor grows become deficient in both, where outdoors I have only dealt with mag deficiencies. I am getting ready to make an order, hopefully my last for awhile. I plan to run photos, after a first run with 3 orange s. autos.

Today is day 5. Is there anything else I should have on hand that I wouldn’t need for outdoor? How much Calmag should I have on hand? How should I use to stay ahead of the game? I appreciate the help!

Thanks

Hi,Stinker!
A lot depends on your water- with RO water, you may need cal mag, but straight tap water(or well water) usually has enough minerals in it that you won't get a cal or a mag deficiency.
I use rain water when it's available (I'm in California, so it's not, most of the time) and I need to add cal mag when I use it for my plants.

We are on well water, a deep alps aquifer . It tests neutral. My outdoor love it.
I grew up in So.Ca. SFV. I don't miss it, loved it growing up.
Thanks for the feedback.

I grow indoors quite successfully in my opinion. I don't use a tent personally but many do though.
I grow in soil, fox farms ocean forest is my preferred mix rite out of the bag no additives.

I germinate my seeds like a 3rd grader does lima beans in a wet paper towel wrapped in aluminum foil in the sunny window, takes a day or 3 to sprout a tail and be put in dirt.
I don't start with nutrients till they are established and ask for them with leaf spots or similar signs.
I use a 3 gallon container to finish mine in, they start in standard red solo cups usually and once they get some size they move to the 3 gallon containers to finish in.

Your biggest issue indoor is light, pure and simple.
Weak under powered you will pay in slow small plants that won't grow well.
