I have a big plant inside in veg I'm gonna bring outside in the next week or so. I need an inexpensive soil I can buy on amazon that is for weed in flower.
Also I grow in DWC that is where the plant is now in veg. My plants usually like to feed at 950 ppm in DWC. What PPM do I shot for outside when I'm watering?? I'm using the technaflora line that has BC BOOST, BC BLOOM, etc.

OR can I just get a basic no nutrient soil that has the correct ph around 6.0-6.5 and just feed the technaflora at a very high PPM?

OR do I need soil that feeds AND a water nutrient that feeds as in technaflora?

Looking now can I just get the FOX FARM potting soil and did a hole in the ground like 1.25 feet by 1.25 feet and just use the technaflora recipe that includes bc boost, bc bloom, sugar daddy, awesome blossom etc??? Im putting this plant outside in a week and will just use the flowering nutes for technaflora. Pleas help. My plant that I'm putting outside is currently 1.5 feet tall and maybe 1.5 feet wide. Just telling you bc I'm wondering if the 1.25 by 1.25 feet hole is big enough for the plant.

If you take some kind of bucket with a screened off drain\tap near the bottom, you can mix up some water and coco into a soup. Then, hold the plant/rootball down in the bucket and start slowly draining the water.. but at the same time leaving the medium. Shake the plant & bucket around as you are doing it, and as the water drains off the coco will start compacting down and filling in all the voids around the roots. Going from DWC to coco shouldn't miss a beat if you pull it off right..

Fox Farm is okay and it has enough nutrients in it for a few weeks depending on how big the plants are. There are videos on YouTube that test/compare pepper plants grown in various bagged soil mixes and the one that came out on top with the best results was Miracle Gro organic. I never used it before, though. I've used Fox Farm soil several times for indoor growing and had good results.

In DWC my plants feed at about 950 ppm. So when I mix up the technaflora and put in on soil can it take 2000 ppm or about?

I have good luck with Happy Frog soil and Maxsea fertilizer per label directions....I also add 1 tbl epsom salts per gallon at every other feeding. It's been a good combo for me. Best of luck

You can get it cheaper at a hardware store than on Amazon if cost is a factor. I use Coast of Maine myself. You can also try one shot granules and mix it with some native soil, assuming its not sketchy, and it should have enough nutes to serve you well. My buddy lives down the street from a construction company and his soil is gross so I get not wanting to use native. The one shot is by Necar of the Gods.

Also, if you live in a rural area with farms you can generally source quality compost for cheap if you look around.

Go to a decent local nursery, tell them you got gifted a couple of tomato plants but you have never gardened before and you want to put them in your yard. You want some enriched potting soil so that you can plant them and just water them. They should fix you up for cheap! Cannabis related ag products are just standard gardening supplies that cost twice as much. And I would make at least a 5 gallon hole if not bigger. The plant will use the nutrients it needs as it needs them, like nature does.

If you go with the Fox Farm OF...I would dig a hole big enough for how ever much of it your buying and water only for around 3 weeks since your plants are still small. Maybe longer depending on how much you use and how fast the plant uses it up.
After that I would look for a schedule for soil from the Technaflora website.
