I am using Promix soil from Home depot plus adding bone meal and Dolimite Lime as well as half the recommended dose of FF American Pride to the mix. As well as adding aprox. 40% perlite to the soil.
Feeding with Fox Farm Big Bloom, Musky fish emulsion and super thrive a drop per gallon. I am so wary of over fertilizing now I add at the most 1/4 of the recommended liquid foods. I also add 1tbls. of molasses not every time, but more like every 2 time, or if they look like they are hungry.
I think my biggest problem was I was UNDERWATERING! Yes, underwatering. I was under the impression that they had to really really dry out before watering. Now I follow what I THINK and have read Not to let them totally dry out. I know I know. BUT it is working for me so that is fine.
As you can see the room is not finished yet. I have had a constant temp of 74 with no fan and 69 to 70 with the fan on. Once the weather warms up I think it will get warmer especailly with the other lights and plants added. I will see, and am prepared. I have a vortex vent fan that will do for the whole room I think. We were going to seperate the flower and veg part but now I think I will just put up a light proof wall with panda or such and leave it open to help with temps. There seem to be enough holes in the room to supply fresh air and me going in and out a 100 times a day is working with air exchange so far! LOL!
