your best bet is to buy some organic potting mix (fox farm ocean forest if u can get it), if not then miricle gro organic is your next best bet & buy some perlite (for drainage) & mix them in a 4 (soil) to 1 (perlite) ratio. u dont want to use dirt from outside b/c it can contain bugs/pest that could infest your whole grow room & kill the plants. for lighting u want a 24/0 or 18/6 (24on/0off, 18on/6off) for vegging, & when u want to flower the plants u switch the lights to 12/12, & keep it @ 12/12 until harvest. the only way to really speed up growth is by useing co2, & a few other things like different plant hormones & such (these are minimul)
