soil and blood and bone

[chron legacy]

Hows it going folks,

I am on the doorstep of my first grow. I feel I have nearly all of the aspects of my grow figured out at this point except one main area and that is soil and nutrition. My plan is to use black gold soil (Mainly because FFOF soil isnt available in my area) and fox farm ferts.

The main questions that I have are:
Do I need to add anything to this soil before my grow?
Can I use this same soil all the way throughout my grow(From seedling to flowering)?
As for Blood and Bone addatives will I add these even if I am using these fox farm products?

I would appreciate if someone could help me and all those who are fairly unknowledgeable on the topic of soil and soil addactive out or simply post a link that I could use to enhance my knowledge of soil and soil additives/ferts. I appreciate your help :rastasmoke:

I would recommend mixing in 10% perlite during the seedling/vegging stage. It's optional during the flowering stage. IMO.

Transplants are worth while, at least one.

Thanks for your response Dutch. I plan to transplant at least once and most likely twice as my plants get bigger. Also that is pretty awesome that all that needs to be added is perlite. It sounds like black gold is a pretty complete soil mixture when you buy it.
