just throwing this out there i use this soil i found at my local country feed store its called fertilome ultimate its got all the shit u hear people talking about already in it (perlite , dolomite , peat moss , my plants love it ive been running plain water for a couple weeks and they dont look like they want nutes at all but i feel like i want to give it some ff big bloom and a little cal mag anyways , i also have some in flower that im gonna give a little big bud advanced nutes to ... and its only like 4.99 for an 8qt bag
Hey person, wha's up? Anyway, if your plants like the soil at this point in their life, all is good. Some people use big buck dirt, like that frog shit or Ocean Forest, that has too much shit in it, IMOP. (Read about problems with it as far as burn)
I used both, and to me,the soil I got at the garden center was just as good, and I/2 the cost. Normal house plant stuff has way enough nutes to deal with a 4 month plant (IMOP again). I amend it in the beginning though with a decent amount of perlite,( vermiculite works as well, but will absorb nutes) Then I add some sea weed which contains the minerals and Magnesium/Calcium particularly needed), and away I go. You MUST remember that soil WILL hold nutes, so be VERY easy during your grow. I use the last 2 1/2 - 1 1/2 weeks to really add something for bloom, and I use Awesome Blossoms (Tecnaflora) which is excellent, and goes a long way. Its N P K is 2-11-11 and is the only bloom booster I use. Fuck Advanced, all they do ( IMOP) is sell a lot of ferts that really not needed. (And make ton's of money off of nubes) In soil I would not sweat Cal/Mag. Sounds like you have a handle on your grow, just remember, too much is too much (lol). Easy does it, and save the money from buying Big Bud and get some seeds instead (Bomb Seeds are highly recommend) Good luck and always have fun growing, it's a blast.
