When you start with soil that needs all those additives including soil from outside (which really should be sterilized to get rid of potential pests) you are left with a soil that has a multi step process. What if I go to the local Home Depot or Lowe’s and they have Miricle Grow Organic but no vermiculite/perilite (this has happened to me before where they have one basic garden item and not another) and I have to go to two different locations? That’s a hassle. If you have noticed, 85% + of the kids who come on here are not interested, willing, or knowledgeable enough to start messing around with dirt especially for their first grow. They are on a limited budget and are growing a stealth grow with limited space. Maybe after a few grows they can start getting creative with dirt. Quite frankly I am not interested in dicking around with a 12 step process just to get good dirt. I like my dirt like Wal-Mart; 1 bag of decent soil is like one-stop-shopping. P.S. Good results with Miricle Grow is absolutely not out of the realm of possibilities, usually just not with new folks who don’t know what they are doing.

thanks for those pics ganj, woulda commented back earlier but i just got back from my buddys house, it was a good night , those plants look really healthy, do you have to dump the water cause haulin around a Five gallon bucket of water is kinda shitty. other than that how do you plant a seed in those funky rocks like thatit needs to be reletivly grown before you put it in that setup doesn't it?

Some people put a rockwool cube in their setup and use that to start the plant. Personally, I just start mine in soil for a while, then When I transplant, i clean off the roots and put it into the net pot.

exactly, then put the water right on the bottom of the net pot. You may have to water the plant by hand for the first few days, until its roots get developed, but the bubbles bursting from underneath the net pot should provide some water too. Plus the humidity in there.

i use any soil i can get my hands on, all you need is a ph tester. ive never had any problems with any soil.... check ur ph before you water and after, keep it at a clean 6.5 in soil and any soil will do. I have even stooped so low to pick up the cheapest soil in walmart... and the ph was horable :/ check it and fix it and ur fine. imo, dirt is dirt. |
