What to add to outdoor soil?

[drewski]

Hey everyone I'm going to be growing some seeds I pulled out of some good bud I bought, and I was wondering what should I do to the soil in my woods. I've tried growing in my woods before and the seeds were not a success. I've grown indoors in a hydroponic setup which turned out very well. The soil is very dense and doesn't absorb much or have much oxygen in it. I have broken the soil up with a rototiller and it still wasn't enough. So my main question would be what could I add to the soil to make it more absorbent and less dense?

Thanks for your help in advance.:jointsmile:

to be honest I would just take some compost if you have any and mix it 50-50 or if you don't have compost try just getting some starting soil from a garden store.

Perlite or Vermiculite :thumbsup:

sounds like ya got a lot of clay in the soil ... ? ... regardless, the aforementioned Perlite would be a good thing, don't be stingy with it ... cannabis needs a well-draining soil ... :jointsmile:

I have also had very unseccseful attempts with out door growing, but I bought some fertilizer. and planted it near one of the cow pastures by my house. and I got some pretty good results.. But now im growing 2 plants in my bathroom, and they are just now starting to get buds on them, I am very excited. but if they arent any cow pastures by your neck of the woods. than I suggest the fertilizer.. Happy toking:hippy:

Hey I would suggest that you also get you some top soil and Perlite or Vermiculite and mix that all in with you area that you are planing your op. I have done a couple of outdoor crops and last year by far was the worst. But i have also done 3 prior grows with that soil and had grown other stuff prior. But i also noticed and seems like sense to replace soil/median after a few grows if not every. That is why farmers only can grow so many years in the same area then have to take a break or replace some they soil/median. Now i do not claim to know everything but just a little something i picked up. If thats a bad idea someone please correct me so he don't waste time/money.
