This is my first grow, and Im not sure what to do for the soil. I have about 10 plants. Someone on here told me that miracle grow and perlite are good. Will that work well or what? What the ratio I should mix them?
No to the miracle grow. It uses time release nutes which equal bad....Perlite is a good addition to most potting soil since it helps with drainage and is a neutral mineral. As in, it does not add or remove any thing to the soil.
pretty much just get plain soil, with no fertilizers sometimes it says organic on it i think. But on the back it wont have percents like 10%nitrogen 4%blah. and then u can add some of those white pelite balls or there is other shit u can add if u want
Ya, just get a "soilless" mix. Its pretty much just dirt with nothing in it that aid in the growth other than it being dirt. Think of it as a blank slate in which you can add to in the future. A good Mixture ratio is something like this. 60% Soilles mix 20% Perlite 10% Building Sand 10% Worm castings Another option is to scan through here and check out the organic section for more recipes.
