[Guest]

ive goe 2 beans germed and waiting to go in..but not sure on what mix of soil/perelite/peat moss to use....any help greatly needed



also...do you start curing buds before they are completely dry? ive got some wet nugs i harvested a few days ago drying, should i cure them now or wait till all the way dry?

10-4 good buddy. Take a look at making a soilless mix below in my signature. You don't want any nutrients when you first start the seeds.

You want to dry the buds till the stem snaps easily. This will prevent molding. Then begin curing in jars, for example, allowing a brief period of fresh air for 15 minutes once a day for a month or so.

go to the store and buy a bag of universal potting soil (preferably non pre-ferted). Should work well.

First dry your buds, for 1-2 weeks (generally till stems snap) then they are ready for the cure. You can put them in paper bags prior to curing to get them a lil bit more drier. Dont put wet buds in mason jars or you give perfect conditions for mold to grow on your buds..

I put mine in bags too after they hang to ensure they are completely dry. Never close up moist buds in a jar.

If you plan on using ocean forest I've been using it on my seedlings with great results I use it all the way through

me too, straight from the bag, no added nutes, just water

I add perlite to the mix. To a bag of FFOF, about 5 gallons and wet it down. Then put the seeds in it. They love it. And don't forget to add a little lime to it.

Just some good potting mix, I recommend premeir pro-mix - never steered me wrong. Non-fertilized the better - keep it clean and pure at starts. The soil alone provides all the nutes it needs and wants. Keep the soil moist, not wet and it will be happy.
