Hey whats up people

1st) so should transplant the plant into the same soil or is it ok if i get some soil from a store,
but down the street from me is this big ass peice of land that like 4 bulldosers are tearing up, the hole's they are digging are about 7 or so feet deep

Your should buy some soil. This soil has important nutrients that the others don't have much of that a plant needs to grow. They probably have some type of bugs that your plant wouldn't enjoy. The trip is worth it.

You should consider using Sunshine mix,add some worm castings,and add a small amouny of perlite.Get rid of your old soil.I have used this mixture several times with awesome results. :)

To get you started just buy a bag of potting compost from any gardening outlet. But please read up a bit before you go any further, if you know what you're doing before you need to do it you'll get bigger, better buds.

I just use top soil with a heavy amount of perlite already in it... works great, but outdoor soil is deffinetly a no go.

ok just makeing sure i went and got some fertilizer from the store and the ratio is 9-6-5 ( i miight be a littel off i dont felll like goin and checking the bag right now)
and i transplanted them and one of them it dient even effect, it is still growing, even when i went to bed and then i woke up it had grown, but the other one's leaf's are really flimsy but it will pull through hopefully.

I use a mixture of perlite and peat moss. It's the best medium I've ever used.
