alright thanx for the replies. Whats the best type of soil to start with? i heard that miracle gro is good to use.
NO!!!! That's the OPPOSITE of true. Miracle Grow soil is complete garbage, and their nutrients are even worse. For a good soil, straight out of the bag, go with FoxFarms Ocean Forrest. It's organic-based and has earthworm castings and bat guano mixed in. It doesn't need any nutrients added for the first 2-3 weeks of use, and you'll find that it is widely used by experienced soil growers and has a great reputation amongst the community here.
For nutrients, I suggesting sticking with the FoxFarms line. Get the liquid concentrate tri-pack which includes GrowBig, BigBloom, and TigerBloom. The tri-pack only costs under $40, and at least for your first grow, you won't need anything else. Once you've gone through your first grow and have experienced the process first-hand, there are other nutrients and supplements that you may wish to add and experiment with, but for your first time, the tri-pack is all you'll need. But seriously, stay away from Miracle Grow products or any other soils and nutrients that you can find at your local Home Depot or Lowes. They're just not suitable for growing Cannabis.
