Bout to start my first grow, and the only thing that is stopping me is the soil issue. Now I have read online that you should use soilless or sometimes pre-fertilized. I really have no idea and don't want to waste these seeds on a failed project. Can you please let me know your exact soils or mediums that you grow in and for each stages what should I do.
Fox Farms Ocean Forest is the way to go for a first timer. It's buffers ph great and as long as you have a good meter and monitor your ingoing and runoff then you will have alot less problems then with other soils.
I used fox farms ocean forest for a while, and it is great. However, happy frog is not quite as hot and in my opinion is a little better for newbies, which have a tendency to burn plants.
Well sorry I did not exactly clarify my grow, incase it makes any difference but I am just going to be growing 4 plants under cfl's, about 100actual watts per plant
most soil is "soilless" because it contains no actual soil but a substitute like peat moss or coco coir the importance of these things is that they contain 0 fert which will help u in the long run if u use organic or Fox Farms etc make sure it was no fert and add some perlite which helps plants roots
