Soil Nutrients

[Mr.GoodMorning02]

So I've been looking around, reading and searching on what the best soil mixture for an outdoor grower would use and I can't seem to find any specific medium.

For a urbanized area, I have yet to find any soil that would be completely acceptable for a growing spot. I'm shying away from using 5 different pot sizes for transplanting. I'm looking to maybe buy 3 ( 3inch, 6 inch, maybe one more larger) and then make a final transplant to ground outdoors. I've read a few ppl are using bat guano, horse manor, and blood meal.

SO my questions are what type of nutrients or soil additives are best for an outdoor grow area? And if the three above are good sources of nutrients, should they be used separately or can they be combined? are some better for veg or flowering?

any feedback will be helpful. If it helps I'm hoping to get a couple ak48s and haze X skunk #1s outdoors asap. 5 in all. thanks

Soil is important but do you have intensions of going back to hit them with nutes?

If not then you want to go with a fertilized soil.

Otherwise it comes down to preference and a lot of variables due to area Region ect...

All he soils you speak of are good but so is the soil humus LOWE'S sells for $1.89



Good Luck GL420:jointsmile::jointsmile::jointsmile:

thanks, i was planning to check out lowes today. I'm in the north eastern us. and its quite humid and hot most of the time. I'm looking to just used a fertilized soil but if going back and adding nutes at different stages will be more beneficial for my ladies than I'll make the effort to do so.

what fertilized soil would you prefer? any suggestions welcome

instead of directly in the ground, have you thought of using a kiddie pool filled with good soil for when you put the plants outdoors?

My commercial outdoor buddy uses this method, and finds it a lot easier to control and less suprises.

Kiddy pool?!? That must be hard to hide! Advanced Nutrients Heavy Harvest is the best IMO. You mix it in when you plant outdoors. They have a spring, summer, and fall mix. Time release stuff. Mix in the spring stuff and go back and add the summer later. The benifits are that you won't have animals digging up your plants to get the bone meal or blood meal. The stuff is really affordable and is in granular form. Check it out!

thanks guys...and no, i don't have any place to hide a kiddie pool lol. i'll try getting that mix and decide if i'll fence in my girls so the animals can't get them. I was thinking of using some chicken wire to create a dome like design over my plants

thanks for the help
