does the soil matter?

[crayc]

Hey i wanted to grow organically and my options are limited in puerto rico, i found some bag in walmart called top soil, another bag in a garden shop says it is 100 percent organic. then i found this website and found that they carry fxfarms stuff. also bat guano

If you buy soil online, expect the shipping to be 3-4 times what you paid for the bag itself, lol.

you can get 2.0 cubic ft(60 quarts) of fox farm ocean forest for $21 from www.htgsupply.com The shipping is about as much as the soil is, other guys right, but if you email them and plan on buying a few bags at once they will give you a discount if you ask. They have never said no to me yet and give me good discounts, ive saved hundreds of dollars like that.

im wondering if cannabis while grow decently in just regular outdoor soil?? sorry for threadjack.

i have a spot where lots of weeds grow naturally, and abundantly. they all look very lush and healthy, they are all thriving. I chop them down and 3 days later they all grow back full size, 3' weeds. the soil doesnt look that good, but alot of healhty shit is growing out of it?? will this soil suffice for marijuana, i will come to fertilize every now and then.

fox farm ocean forest, mix in 25% of the containers size in pearlite to it. the fox farm trio is a good place to start with nutrients, you get tiger bloom,grow big, and big bloom. The 3 packs w/1 of each are fairly cheaper than buying each by itself, so you might as well get the 3 pack right away.

It's hard to say, its a weed after all. Might as well try it? What do you have to lose? (well, other than your freedom and some money and any smoke you have and any pipes or anything like that if you get busted). lol

Last outdoor season i did an all organic grow and used fox farm ocean forest. Nutrient wise I used fish emulsion, bat guano, molasses, and a few micro nutrients. There was also a bloom product called "pure" that i used on the guerilla grow and have nothing bad to say about that other than it smells horrible. Im no expert but i can tell you that i was more than happy with the outcome on both the guerilla and backyard outdoor. I see and use the benefits of hydro but theres something about outdoor organic that i just love. But whatever you do don't use bad soil. Foxfarm has always done me good and low quality soils haven't. I usually dig out a whole and fill it with good dirt or if nothing else mix a percentage of fox farm to the natural soil (or use pots). I've only had 3 successful harvests but a whole bunch of fail attempts trying to short cut things

Good Luck,

Mr. Sparky

, another bag in a garden shop says it is 100 percent organic.

I get an organic potting mix from my local garden shop and it works better than FFOF and it doesn't come with fungus gnats like fox farm always does. And I think I paid $6 for a big ass canvas sack full. Just be sure it is well draining or an aeration mix and if not add lots of perlite. Also make sure it doesn't have no hidden time release fertilizers or anything like the "feeds for 4 months" stuff I always see.
