is this soil alright for my plants?
sta-green is what i'm using and it is fine. just be aware of your plants need, dont over water, dont over fert. i found with 'sta-green' it holds water pretty good at around 78 degrees, also it does not have very much nutrients in it, thats why i went with it so i could control my plant's needs.
this site is a very good source of info! http://greenmanspage.com/guides/

may your growing be happy and your plants be female!
