Hydroponics stores, deff homedepot but watch out for like miraclegrow and shitty stuff like that. I use 80coco 20perlite all bought at homedepot, just ph it. And def get a bigger container, like that other dude said, those guys/gals who do that are not beginners

This may sound really ignorant but.. what is coco? I know it's some kind of soil replacement or something, but i have no idea what it is. Is it worth to use?

Coconut Coir, an inert growing media. Has zero nutrient content, but the capability to hold nutrients, and moisture that is added to it. Often used as a base for hydroponic feeding, or also as a base soil component.

Soil is prob the best way to go for beginners though, you won’t have to worry about nutes and ph and tds as much, I heard it’s a lot more forgiving of mistakes though. My fav site for info (besides this one) and seeds is www.ilovegrowingmarijuana.com

Just get soil that you can grow roses in but make sure their is no notice grow and pesticides, other than that make sure your soil drains well perlite helps

Not entirely true Coco coir does have some nutrients. Here is a nice little article explaining everything about it including the nutrients that it contains.

And if no one told you get a t5 light for veg and hps for light or if money’s tight then just a hps. New soil, no nutes 2-3 weeks then any of those combination grow nutes. Your looking for N-P-k and cal/mag for nutes. Go extremely light at first and keep on learning. Good luck

She wants to grow outside, so a couple of CFLs for the seedlings is all she needs.
