I'm kinda on a budget, and want a decent soil mix for my grow. I was going to go with fox farm soil, but it's just too expensive.
Would regular potting soil mixed with some perilite suffice, or do I need something more advanced?
If I need something more advanced, what would you recommend? It has to be affordible because I'm nearly broke, lol!
If you mix it with perlite it should be good, as long as theres no nutriants added.
Just make sure its well sifted, and airiated. Also check for bugs or anything in it and you should be ready to go!
How long before I introduce nutes?
JunkYard; LoL.
Bro, my plant was grown in Miracle-Gro. If you can grow in that shit, you can grow in anything.
well i have have used a bogstandard growbag used the soil and mixed in perlite and kiln dried sand this works ok for me
and as for ya nutes if ya are starting from seed i would leave it 3 for 3 weeks from when it sprouts:)

Bails of promix and farfred are cheap.
You can get a hold of farfred at 1800peatmoss
Just get regular old potting soil. Supergrow. I've grown veggies for years just using that. For nutes I go organic fish emulsion for outside (it smells) or liquid kelp for inside (no odor) and great. I've been feeding my orchids kelp and they reward me by awesome blooms.
Just keep it dilute!!!! Remember with nutes a little extra is not better and will burn your plants.
With just potting soil I would ad 80% peat moss to it so the roots can breath.
