Fox Farm Ocean Forest is all I have ever used for indoor growing. For outdoor, just top dress with generic top soil from a garden center, about 2' deep. You can also try a brand of soil called Sunshine, its great as well.

Fox farm hands down....get the fox farm family nutrients & add 20% of what the chart says & you will have some bomb.

fox farm is pretty strong if your going to transplant from something else. make sure you FLUSH WELL after putting your plants in it. but other than that it has been working good for me.

if you are going to use promix soil,which is the best i suggest adding 20% perlite to improve drainage,and add a few good heaping of earth worm castings as well :p

promix schmoo mix, just use any potting mix that is light and fluffy,and doesnt contain large chunks of bark or any bark for that matter....

thats if u plane on using perlite,worm castings,vermiculite,peat moss....as additives to the soil

i dont think theres a point to flush yr soil,,if its good soil like promix theres no need before nutes theres nothing in the soil no nutes no salts ect..

you leave the seeds in there long enough they'll get moldy and rot away
