do you know if that have that at Lowes or not? ive also read that Fox Farm something Forrest is a good soil to use... and Scotts?
as far as the co2 i found an easy homemade set up im gunna try using
Dont even waste your time with any of those silly home made co2 devices out of old pop bottles & such,co2 is proven to drastically speed up the growth process but only under very precise circumstances in a highly controled enviroment,what little co2 thats actually put out from one of those shake n bake co2 jobbers isnt enough to make a mouse fart let along help marijuana plants grow faster,that is a fact.
If your new to growing dont get caught up in the mumbo jumbo nonsense of high priced hydro shop products promising all kinds of different things like bigger buds or harder buds,its all snake oil,off the shelf fertilizers are just as effective & 10x cheaper.
For soil you can make your own pro mix cheaper than buying hydro shop soild such as fox farms & such & everything you need can be bought at home depot or lowes,even buying a brand soil that costs as much as scotts brand is not needed,home depot sells a very good quality potting soil called "Earth Grow",ive grown using this soil in side by side grows with more expensive soils & the expensive soil offered no benifit to overall health or yeild.
The 2 main issues when making your own pro mix are this,first you want to be sure your pro mix has excellent drainage,second you want to be sure the soil is rich in nutrients,here is the mix ratio i use with Earth grow potting soil & earth grow Top soil.
Potting soil............40%.
Top soil................20%.
Perlite..................30%.
Masons sand.........10%.
Adding top soil is very important,the bulk of nutrients in soil are contained within top soil,this assures a nutrient rich soil through the vegative process,the perlite is also very important as it allows your soil to drain quickly & to keep it fluffy for new root growth to easily cut through the soil searching for water,the masons sand also helps keep the soil very loose & takes up very little volume in the pot so more soil can be in the mix,having a fluffy mixture of soil is very important to a fast healthy grow.
