First, i know it sounds ridiculous, but i can't buy good soil, because of this shitty coronavirus situation... All shops around are closed and i need soil asap( my plants are 2 weeks old, need pot changing). I was thinking to go and buy some soil from Asda or some shop, because the plants start turning yellow. What do you guys think? Any advices? Cheers!

Worst comes to worst you can use dry brown rice hulls instead of perlite ive seen a few organic super soil recipes doing that instead of perlite

There’s a seed and cutting compost in LIDL for 99p that so far I’ve not had any complaints with for the Mrs’ garden. 20L for £0.99.

it Won’t have a lot of nutrients but it’s fine Grade and lovely to work with???

My local grow shop is taking online orders with scheduled pickup once a week. Check your area's shops websites to see if they're open to pickup.
My light blew so I was in a similar boat.

When ive had issues getting soil i always trust a compost pile in somebodys backyard before using cheap dirt. You may have to pick out a few sticks and roots but ive always had better luck that way.

yes moderately fresh green compost is a very good ammendment esp. in org. grows, has a lot of beneficials and humic acids plus much N. It can greatly store water.
