Restarting my grow Seeds from scratch *READ*

OK i have had problems after problems with my grows ive lost 3 batches from everythign you can think of and giving it one last try. I have ICE and WHITE WIDOW i have a hydro setup but decided since ive had so much problems to regrow these moms in dirt. My question to you guys is what dirt should i use i hear people talking about using perlite and mircale grow and another thing i can remeber. Ill do what ever you guys tell me this tiem cause if shit dont work i lose thousand upon thousands of dollars.


Please give me the soil mix i have the little silver dollar things that you buy from the shop that are suppose to expand when they get wet should i use them? But mainly i want the mix of soil so i can start all over again. Do i need to use anything else besides the soil mix? Should i use tap water or diffinalty strait distilled? I will buy ANYTHING i need but i have 6 seeds of each strain and am fucked if i dont get anything out of this. Please PLEASE PLEASE be as thorough as possible and dont leave out anything im really counting on all you guys youve been tons of help in the past and i know you can help me again. EVERYONEs input is appreciated and wanted. thanks again..

so no one hear can tell me a soil mix and the perctenges of each?

Tekneeqs just started a post about everyone's favorite soil mixture...

Check it out...WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE SOIL MIXTURE??

Check out me at my grow also. You can get there by clicking the link in my signature line. Ask me any questions you have about hydro...well, at least using rockwool, which I think is VERY easy. You should try it. What kind of hydro did you use before?

Be cool.

Dude get Coco soil, it's all you need just add water and nutes ;)

Dont know how you could have gone wrong with ice and hydro my first grow was no probs at all, were you using NFT or Drip or what?

Use a plain potting soil with lots of perlite and no added nutes, or mix your own with perlite, composted leaf humus, topsoil, and composted cow manure. Hint: According to the guy over at the soil lab here at the University, that mix is NATURALLY BUFFERED IN THE RIGHT RANGE!!! YAY!!!

ya, i'm with stinky. I dont like the peat pellets I have had very bad results trying to seed in them. Also peat is very acidic so thats not best for cannabis.

I use these "jiffy pots" they are made out of thick paper and you put your own soil in. And once they are big enough for transplant you just stick the whole pot in soil and the roots grow through it.
they're pretty good.
