Help with soil...

[RHMH]

Hello friends..
I am going to be potting 4 clone plants here very soon.....1 white widow plant and 3 Romulan plants. My question is what kind of soil is the best to use? I have read that there are some mixes you can use that does not require fertilizing through the whole flowering stage...is this true and how do I get some. Thanks for the help!

I just buy regular old compost from the garden center or supermarket. I've used it many times and it's never let me down. I've tried the shit they try to pass off as "SUPER-MIX" and all that crap but it was just the same as regular compost. The only thing different was the price; a small bag of "special-super-duper soil mix" cost me about £12, one bag of normal compost costs about £5 and the bag is so big you can only just carry it. I also mix a little perlite and vermiculite to my soil for better drainage and aeration, I mix it in the ratio of 4 parts soil, 1 part perlite and 1 part vermiculite and that's it.
I've never heard of a soil that you don't have to add a fertilizer to, all plants need feeding at some point, especially during flowering. Because I only grow my plants small, I don't feed them during vegetative growth because there's enough nutrients in the soil to last them until I force flowering; then I use miracle grow 15/30/15.
I'm not going to use a chemical fertilizer this time though, I'm going to use an organic feed called "Bio-Bizz Bloom". Chemical fertilizers, no matter how little you use always seem to burn the leaves and make them curl up.

I haven't grown in soil for some time but I've heard that Ocean forest potting soil or fox farm growing mix are suppose to be the best for what we grow!
Here's a link but you can find it cheaper if you look around.

I've never used it but I have some friends who use it growing shrooms, they say its very hot so use it sparingly.
Good luck,

You can use pretty much any potting soil, although naturally the better the soil the better the bud. Use ferts that are formulated for growing MJ. Most any Hydro store will carry what you need. The Micronutes are very important. Stay away from Miracle Grow, people will tell you they use it and did fine, but it is an incomplete fert for our purposes. Hope this helps. Also you might add a little verm to the soil.
Good Luck,
