soil fert ratio

[ganjadude11]

ok i need a few things to be cleared up becuase i dont want to start my grow then get a nutrient burn or a nutrient lock, ok so i am going to be using 3 gallon pots, and then cut the bottoms out so when the time comes the roots can spread out under ground and do there thing, i am using Sunshine Mix #4 dirt( the same one that the brown dirt warrior uses), and my plan is to put 1/3 worm castings into the pots then with the room left over i will use the soil to fill, and i will also be using earth juice grow for veg growth. Will this set up be a good set up or am i going to be over feeding the plant and kill them.

could really use some good sugestions, thanks

Hi there. I would either put them in pots or put them in the ground. Cutting the bottom of the pots off during growth will most likely end up in cutting some roots which won't be good for them.

I assume you're going to do an outdoor grow? I've never heard of earth juice before. What is the N-P-K ratio? I'm sure it would do just fine as long as you start off at 1/4 strength. You will also need a nute for flower. I recommend anything fox farms as they make really good stuff.

Keep us posted on what you decide to do. Take care and be safe.

if there burning on the leaf edges then you need to flush, if they are yellowing uniformly starting from the bigger lower fan leaves then you need to feed.


As said before either put in a big enough container or plant inground in a full sun location.

In ground if done properly would be better.

and to clarify i will be cutting the bottoms off before i even put the dirt in and i will be burying them in the ground about 3 inches, Earth Juice Grow 3-1-1, and for the worm castings is that too much or is that just right?
