alot of people use fox farms soil i hear its prety good:thumbsup:
good luck-Bomb
Just go to a nursery and get some decent topsoil. Ask and make sure it drains well, then spend your money on good fertilizer. I mean, come on, it's just dirt you're buying.
yes stay away from the crap that home depot or walmart sells....stay away from all miracle grow stuff.......
go to a REAL nursery or hydro store and just look for a soil that has stuff like peat moss, compost, humus, pumice, etc.....buy a bag of perlite too and make your own mix with about 30% perlite. perlite is super cheap. foxfarm soil is good from what I hear too but I have not used it myself
Get Pro Mix HP its 18$cnd a bail at homo depo. They also had GH nutes, and lots of other hydro stuff hidden around the store you just gotta look for it.

oh no...i'm not saying that it doesn't work at all! i'm just saying for the pretty much that same amount of money there are far better products out there....especially in the nute department
im gonna go to the nursury and get some good topof the line shit...i have a 20-20-20 fertalizer for veg stage. i'm gonna do a nice grow i will keep everyone updated. 70 seeds 6 600w mh veg and hps during flowering. we r working on setting it up with ventilation and everything. i will holla
wow...if i understood you correctly thats gonna be a big grow!
don't forget the perlite!
The main thing to beware of is that a lot of the most expensive fertilizer is pre-fertilized. You don't want something like this for marijuana.
FireTheft, peat moss if untreated has a pH between 4 and 5. BAD. and Pumice is not typically a soil component. It's inert and if anything would be suited to hydro medium.
Top soil is usually very low quality. Fine fo rthe garden perhaps but not indoor cannabis grows.
Agway carries a good selection of composts and soils.
