Mr. Frog...

As long as the pH of your medium is CORRECT.. you can use it... If you do stick with the cactus mix please post pictures...

pH RULES your plants ability to absorb nutrients...

Way to plug your video Knowm! But yes i agree, if you're able to get Fox Farm soil... do it! Check out these side by side photos. Pic number one is a three week old seedling in Miracle-Gro Organic soil and the second pic is a 1 week old seedling in Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil. PWnt

Truth you can grow with that, clones will do well in that mix too. You do need to water often or ad some coco fiber to hold more water.

There are a few things you need to know though.

It will work best for clones and seedlings, and does wash off easy if you want to go hydro. You need to work in layers, there is not a lot of grip for roots to hold on to for the plant to get very large with out tipping or leaning. If you work in layers then as the plant grows you can add more soil and give more support as the plant grows taller.

Make sure you have plenty of drainage it's not a real soil-less mixture you are using it will hold some water for a time but it should stay moist and cool on its own.

My best advice is if you are growing to full term then just use this to start your seedling and then when it grows to the vegetation cycle you can transplant it to better soil suited to growing larger plants.

Yes you can; but I suggest that you don't use it for the full grow unless you are experienced with the signs or nutrient problems.
