coco or "coir", petstores carry it in bricks for snake/reptile substrate. add water and bam there's your soil. no over watering in coco, so its easy to flush, also its PH neutral. its alot of preference here though. there are alot of great options to grow your ladies.

search again, a few months ago someone did a side by side comparison grow w/ MG & foxfarms and the MG did as well if not better.I like MG organic but mix in lots of perlite. the biggest complaint I see w/ MG is that it is often loaded w/ gnats or fruitflies,easy enough to get rd of.

if you have a master nursery nearby (assuming they haven't shut down for the winter) you could pick up some gardner's gold soil. it's the highest quality non-hydro-store soil i've come across. not quite as hot as oceanforest. very good stuff.

there are a number of MG soils, the Organic Garden soil is actually pretty good(for the price)
someone's doing a huge grow log with this soil, results are very impressive so far

Its super easy to just mix up some of your own soil. Get a 5 gallon bucket, or a bigger trash can if you need more.
Just use Subs mix for a guide, you can mix as little or as much as needed. And seriously its gonna work out good for you. I dont think Iv ever read a complaint about it.

Subcool's Super Mix

The mix is placed in the bottom ¼ to ½ of the container and blended with base soil. This allows the plants to grow into the strongly concentrated soil and, in the right size container, they need nothing else but water throughout the full growing cycle. With strains requiring high levels of nutrients like Cheese and Space Queen and other high energy demand strains, we go as strong as ¾ of the container with Super Soil but this is only with a small percentage of strains.


Here are the amounts we have found that produce the best tasting buds and strongest medicines:

*** If using an RO system add in 1/2 cup powdered Cal/mag

8 large bags of high quality organic potting soil with coco and Mycorrhizae
25-50 lbs. of organic worm castings
5 lbs. of Blood meal 12-0-0
5 lbs. Bat guano 0-5-0
5 lbs. Fish Bone Meal 3-16-0
¾ cup Epsom salt
1 cup Sweet lime (Dolomite)
½ cup Azomite ( Trace element)
2 Tbs. powdered Humic acid



1/2 Batch:

4 bags Organic Base Soil
12.5-25 lbs. Worm Castings
2.5 lbs Fish Bone Meal
2.5 lbs Bat Guano
2.5 lbs Blood Meal
3/8 cup (1/4 cup + 1/8 cup) Epsom Salts
1/2 cup Sweet (dolomite) Lime
1/4 cup Azomite
1 Tbs Powdered Humic Acid


1/3 Batch:

2.7 bags Organic Base Soil
8-16 lbs Worm Castings
1.7 lbs Fish Bone Meal
1.7 lbs Bat Guano
1.7 lbs Blood Meal
1/4 cup Epsom Salts
1/3 cup Sweet (dolomite) Lime
2.5 Tbs Azomite
2 tsp. powdered Humic Acid
