Help!

Ok I need some help..
I plan on growing indoor..and have no clue on what to use for anything and how much to use.

if i was to buy:blood, bone and kelp meal and use bat guano, would this be good for the whole grow?
If so could any1 tell me how to mix,how much to mix etc..
and if u could tell me a good soil name that i could get, that would be great thanks.

3hounds is starting to flower.3hounds is starting to flower.3hounds is starting to flower.

50% potting soil
40% perlite
10% worm castings
Plus- 1 tablespoon of each organic nutrient per each gallon of soil mix (blood meal, bone meal, kelp meal).
This thread will help you some more.

Cool thanks alot..
as for the 1 table spoon of each nute,
Is that just for seeding?

what about transplanting, veg and flower?

or should i add a table spoon of each worm casting and kelp for seeding. and how often should I do so?

blood for veg and bone for flowering..would I be best to make a tea??
sorry I'm just learing this subject now. trying to get it right.

That recipe is for the entire life of the plant.
Start your seedlings in a plain potting soil/vermiculite/perlite mix- I do not add ferts to seedling soil.
This is for when you move them up to their permanent pots. Once you mix up the soil that's it- you don't add meal or other stuff later.
You can do supplemental feeding with blood tea, etc. but if you mix your soil perfectly you won't need to.
The bone meal that the plant uses for flowering needs to interact with the microbes in the soil for a few weeks before your plant can use it- by then it is flowering time already, so it works out perfectly.

So its 1 table spoon of all the stuff I listed per each gallon of soil?
And do you know anything on the quantity of bat guano I should use? thanks.
