Best soil???

Ive looked through all the fourms and find lil info here and there but whats the best soil, or what do people prefer the most out there

Try using Coco teak I love the stuff you can buy it online or at most hydro/garden shops Aloha Hawaiian Kind

I wouldn't think that there is a "best" soil to use. I think it depends on personal preference and what works best for you. I'm on my fourth type in about 2 months. Found things that wasn't working for me in most.

I found one that I liked, but was giving me magnesium problems. So now I'm mixing two different soils together to see what the results are.

I've had best results out of Miracle Grow, but others don't like it at all. (MG wasn't the one giving me the magnesium problem.)

If I may suggest, but some a few of the little bags, mark out which they are when using and compare results. Your plants will let you know which they like the best and which you have to work harder to keep the ph and nutes level.

To me, this is all a part of the fun with horticulture.

fox farm ocean forest is a good one...lots of nutrients

second that fox farm ocean forest the best thing to can use only thing i use

ive heard great things of ocean forest. i use roots organic soil. go to ur hydro store and see what they recomend. make sure u go organic tho. the roots organic soil i have has so much good stuff in it! everything u can think of it has in it. they lady said ur not supposed to us nutes for 3 weeks, even if ur transplanting mature plants (like 1.5 weeks for flowering plants)

FFOF is the shite.

Canna Terra Professional substrate.

I use Sunshine Mix #1 from a local nursery mixed with 30% perlite. It has no nutes in it and has worked great for me. I buy it in 1 cubic yard bags for about $30.00.

fox farm ocean forest is 13 bucks a bad and has the nutes MADE FOR OUR PLANTS...........go with the fox farm man

pro-mix it's comercial low on nutes so you can add what you want but fox farm is the shit but for us poor boys and girls pro-mix is cheap it will also give you mag problems nothing a bit of epsom won't clear up..pro mix but be ready to feed your plants and all that finding what you like is part of the fun but

I always had problems with tip burn with miracle grow so I do not recommend a general garden potting soil from your local hardware store. I have not used FFOF so I can't tell you there either.
What I have done is taken top soil and made my potting soil to my own recipe. I use 1 part top soil, sterile (cook in stove at 350 for an half hour) 2 parts perlite and one part perlite. I use an inch of rock, a inch or two of pure perlite, a layer of coco fibers, then my soil mix. I water using GH nutrients but you can use what ever you like. Start out with about 1/4 of what the bottle says in soil and double that each two weeks until you are up to what they recommend for soil. DOL NOT over water. Get a moisture tester for about $5 online for soil and use it to tell when your plants need a drink.
This is what I did for soil. I don't think I am forgetting anything, but I have now gone to recommend. If you have seen it in the aeroponics forum a thread about growing a pound every three weeks. This is a simple system and a lot of people are now building them.
Good Luck with your grow.

I've never had "mag" problems with Pro Mix. Some nutrient concoctions may lock it out though, I guess. I just use Wal Mart's solubles with no problems.

diddo on the fox farm. Unless you want complete control of what your plants feed on, then go with an inert soil with no nutrients and add the nutes that you want. most hydro stores carry inert mediums that are typically cocco fber and perlite based

fox farm happy frog plus vermiculite and perlite. throw in some soilmoist for a ready water supply.

yeah i suggest using coco or pro mix, i used to use soil but got turned on to coco, i use canna coco coir and GH 3 part with a ph of 6 and it has smoked anything ive ever done in soil

What causes this? Too many nutes? I'm having the same problems...

ive used mg organic from the gate it has giving me no problems so far.. there is a truth about the made with nutrients soil... if you over water they can really burn up your plants fast. I suggest getting something with no nutes and regular base perlite and add Mary Jane specific nutrients.. its not the cheapest but youll be happy at the end when you have less problems to counter or fix... Im lucky not to have issues with over watering by sticking to my schedule and not for anyreason changing the amount that i water...

Find your favorite and stick with it experiement..try new shit its fun to see what works better than others and get that perfect combination and dank dense buds!!
