[chill_out]

Hi thanks for looking in,i've got 4 white widow seeds in at the moment under 18/6 lights,well with the nice hot days where having i've been putting them in the garden dueing the day to save on the eletric bill .These are in small posts sat in genral purpose compost,so i'm looking at moving these into bigger pots and putting them into soil instead of compost.Can anyone please tell me what soil i should go for,please bear in mind i'm in the uk and we don't have special shops around us.We've got places like b&q and homebase and a couple of garden centres and thats it.I had a look in them but i wasn't sure what type of soil to buy because there was that many to pick from.So if someone could be so kind in giving me some advice on soils that would be great.

Just been looking at the bag of compost in the shed and i see it's got peat in the compost,can you use peat based compost.Just if i can't have peat in the compost i really need to get the plants out asp

peat is fine, I have heard bad things about miracle grow, and I myself am dealing with nutrient burn, but I am not sure which brand I used, I haven't fed either. But peat will do you well, what are the nitrogen, phosphorous ( phospate), and potassium ( potash ) levels?

Organic Miracle grow isn't too bad, but you have to put dolimite lime in there because of the peat and some perlite to loosen it up a bit. But , dude your begging for spider mites if you put them outside and then bring them back into your grow room

i use sunshine #4 witch is a soilless mix made up of perlite moss vermaculite and i also like to add 1cup of crushed lava rock per two gallons of the soilless mix. this is basically low tech hydro and i get the same results as more complex hydro set ups. just remember if you go this route buy a good ph meter and keep the ph at 6.3 and they will grow grow grow!!!!!!!!!

Personally I would just stay away from anything miracle grow when it comes to cannabis. Its great for tomatoes and other flowers and vegetables, but just not pot.
