sunshine mix is soiless if i'm not mistaken.

go down to your local nursery and ASK their opinion. tell em you are growing tomatoes. they should be able to help you out. don't get caught up on the name of Fox Farms.

like rusty said, anything you choose to grow in you are going to have to LEARN how to grow in it. so no matter what we tell you is the best, YOU are still going to have to learn to grow in it.

depending on the size of your grow (ladies in flower, in veg, clones etc.) you are going to go through a bunch of soil. so $20-25 a bag will start to add up quick.

so again, find something local and cheap that works well.

the main things you want are good aeration and drainage (preferably without nutes).


come one rusty and irydyum, let's not push each other buttons. we need all the help, knowledge, experience and opinions we can get around here. i love both of you guys!
