then i think i'd build a little bubbleponic system if you are planning on an indoor grow - you have all your lights and stuff (pH/PPM meters, nutrients, etc..)?

either that or look for a grow that uses Miracle Grow (there are quite a few) and follow their advice.

OK - then I'd recommend you visit and learn all about CFL grows. Seemorebud's book - Marijuana Buds for less - has a lot of great tips and grow advice with day by day pictures to compare progress. but i guess if you can't get soil - you won't be able to get a book either.

but visit the CFL forums and find someone who has a similar grow/situation - they should be able to help you through it.

This statement is highly uncool & will gather you no respect from many,including myself.

You should give respect where respect is due.

backyard dirt or resuse soil = no
miracle grow = no

what now?

technically you can use backyard dirt if you bake it enough to sterilize it but that will kill all the nutrients - plus the drainage will suck.

you can use miracle grow but you have to keep an eye on pH - and i'm just going to assume you don't have a way to check pH.

also - as panhead points out - if you are living with your Mom, then by growing pot you are risking her losing her house which is really disrespecting her but i'm not here to judge you - just thought i'd mention it.

sounds like you're kind of stuck. you can try the M.G. just keep your expectations low and who knows? you may be pleasantly surprised.

or you may want to just wait until the weather breaks.

seeds are already germinating. i will be happy if i get an inch. my first grow. one gram would be awesome lol. thanks 4 everyones help. i am going to try backyard dirt mixed with old soil and some m.g. i will pick all the medium apart so i can get the best drainage. thanks again!

Bloody kids. Just forget it. You will get zero and risk much.

this is my typical stance but i thought i'd try a gentler, kinder approach. but i appreciate your "bad cop" to my good.

that's true. but i'm assuming by asking questions on the forum, you wanted to bypass a lot of the mistakes folks new to growing make without any help.

sounds like you are going to do what you want regardless of advice so good luck and happy growing!
