Questions on soil

  1. So i went to ace hardware and I got a bag of ace potting soil and I was wondering if there was anything I can do to prepare the soil for the plant I have the seeds wrapped in a paper towel and in a cup with a little water in the bottom. Just started that today....hope for a reply by the time they are ready!!!!!
     
  2. Does it have time-released ferts? Does it say anything about feeds for X months, fertilizer, etc? If so you don't want to use that.

    Otherwise mix some perlite into that soil, and if you can get some worm casting that would be a great addition.
     
  3. Ace sells Miracle Gro. You didn't get Miracle Gro did you?

    it is just called ace hardware potting soil and no it doesnt say anything about feeds the plant it says it has sand in it tho is that bad i just talked to my buddy that has the soil and he said it feed the plant for one month im really tight on money is there anyway i can use this still unless u think it is just to far out of the good
     
  5. Nothing wrong with a little sand. It aids aeration. Maybe get a little perlite (also at Ace) and mix it 3 parts soil to 1 part perlite. GL!

    thanks man!!:smoking: what is a good water i can trust to have a constant ph that i can water them with
    i dont have a ph meter yet and dont wanna screw it up by giving it bad water now
     
  7. oh and i read that mixxing molasas in with the water when u water ur plant is a good idea should i start doing that imediatly or should i wait untill flowering
     
  8. If im using a clone i can't use soil that feeds for two months? it is organic soil what will it hurt?
     
  9. correct it is best to use the soil with no time released ferts in it organic soil is pro the way to go
