sundancer245 said:ok i have seen that soil and get alot of stuff at lowes so that will work, i have to drive about and hour to go get ffof for the reg soil and will do that. i was looking at 3gal pots at lowes same as the ones i see in your pics, but also considered 5gal buckets as they are cheaper but require more soil, any thoughts on that? if the bigger the better i could use the 5's, drill holes in the bottom for drain and put them on pans from walmart for .75 a piece or would this be a bad way to go....

sundancer245 said:looks great Ham and thanks alot thats what i'll do five gal buckets are cheap if not free souds like you germ in cups of water? heard so many ways dont know which to go with lol you start them in small cups i see when you put them in soil, do you go from there to a midsize pot or right to their full size...
sundancer245 said:awesome, that will save us $$$...how long do you let the autos go in the cups before transplanting to the full size pots? also have a q on soil, the bags are listed as dry qts, so say i need to fill 5 gal buckets which is 20qts can i figure that straight up or will i actually need more material for each container so they are full once wetted....
uptosumpn said:So the compacted soil doesn't slow down growth? because I heard/read that compacted soil isnt good for young plants? Maybe spraying them with a spray bottle?? And/or covering the top soil with perlite or clay pebbles so the soil retains moisture better and does not compact the soil, which enables the roots to grow/spread to the top.... Oh, whats the genetics of snow white then?
sundancer245 said:we are waiting on five auto ak-47, heard it is a good starter strain, easy to grow

The greasy pure Indica father gives Snow White a denser statue than its close relative, White Widow. This F1 hybrid is a big yielder with dense sticky buds covered in trichomes. Well suited for both hydro and soil growing systems. Its great smooth taste and a powerful indica buzz make this strain a nice Widow variation."}}}}
That's what I needed to hear! How much did you yield off of snowryder? and how was the taste/smoke?
and thanks for that info on the soil compacting stuff!!!
