yep .. it have the stuff in it that makes it a good basic soil for weed plants ... perlit .. coco .. compost .. its nice ..

I use a similar mix (Plagron all mix) also have wormcasting in it .. but pretty close .. I mix 1/3 coco in it ..

but then the similarity also ends .. since your about to use miracle grow as fertilizer .. I use Organic stuff in my soil .. like blood and bone meal .. Lime .. Epsom salt .. Bat Guano .. Kelp .. Humid acids aso ..

so I realy dont have to worry to much about NPK micros and trace elements doing my grow .. dont even have to worry about PH ..

and only thing I might add to my water doing my grow will be some guano tea and maybe some enzyms ..

do some research .. and get some good nutriens for your soil/terra .. Plagron have a nice start kit for lilke 40-50$ I belive canna also have a nice box for soil grow ..

46-0-0 is super super nitrigen. dont use to much or you will majorly burn your plant. you might want to test the ph or add some dolomite lime to keep it near 7. that can really effect your plant.

hmmm urea...that's a good source for n i have never used it. some ppl use their own diluted urine and it works also. try it in small doses ok? u need a little more stuff:
garden lime
azomite if you can get it
humic acid
there's more you can get. but try that for starters. if you can't get the humic and the azomite just get the garden lime. you NEED that.

ready mixed soil?

Lime is available at any garden shop.
Make sure it's dolomite lime. I buy the granular (little pellets) and crush about half of it into powder before I use it.
I go with 1-2 tbs per gallon of dirt.
I used to use 1 tbs/gallon but recently my runoff has been really low PH. So I repotted a couple plants with 2 tbs/gallon to see if it cures the issue.

thank you for the information sir.kidney

i store rain water most of the time like 2 liters every time it rains here.

The lime goes in the soil when you pot the plant. Not in the water.

No you just add it once. I'd go with 1 1/2 tbs to be on the safe side.
To crush it, I just throw it in a zip loc bag and use a spoon to crush it by rolling it over the lime. Kinda like a rolling pin.
The lime will keep your PH at a safe level.

dolomite and garden lime are the same thing. there is espoma garden lime which is dolomite lime. just depends what brand you get. i am not that educated about nutes. i just mainly know about nitrogen haha and i know that if you use filtered/RO water you will need to supplement with cal/mag. but i use general organics biotrive grow for veg nutes and fox farm tiger blood for flowering. i use a mixture of both through out the grow just different amounts at different times. if you wanted to keep it easy i would buy some veg and bloom nutes from a hydro store and some cal/mag if you need it.

hydro store like the one's selling mineral water / purified water? or hydro store the one that sells fish and aquarium?

here are the pictures of my 2 plants, i topped the other one and it started to form out branches,
on morning i place them at the garden for sun, and as soon as it get dark i place them in my 2nd attempt growbox set up,

i didn't transplant them yet, maybe on wednesday, i dont have pebbles and that dolomite lime, im really out of budget maybe on wednesday i'll have a couple of cash to
spare for the pebbles and dolomite lime.
for me they are much more happier than before when i only put them outside. but there are some problem with the leaves, i don't know why there are some
yellowing of leaves.
im thinking of cloning the longer plant but i dont know if i can clone it from the main stem because i haven't top the first plant yet.
