Coots Mix is a good one to start with.

Your tap water is fine without phing for organics. Check out the ROLS thread in the organics section. Much more knowledgeable people than me there.

Coots Soil Mix Explained

About 11 years ago I got a medical card under the rules of OMMP (Oregon Medical Marijuana Program. Not to grow per se but to get access to the 'strain of the week' through some of the groups like Oregon Green Free and a couple of others which no longer exist thankfully.At the time Fox Farms...
