whats a good cheap soil mix that does the trick? but also boots the veg growth and bloom

also be sure to put if its for starting germinating seeds and veg cuz i know some chems are 2 strong at early stages and destroy root growth.

and if u use a say 8-5-5 npk soil mix would that effect the 20-20-20 water mix?

and how much leaf before using powder chems

I wouldn't know from personal experience, but everyone on the forums seem to say fox farm's ocean mix is extremely good. I'm not sure on how often you need to nute this soil, but I think it's around once a week start off with about 1/4th recommend nute dosage. I am pretty sure you don't need to feed them for the first three weeks.

i am an outdoor organic grower and my cannabis grows with all my vegetables in the same garden. The mix i use that worked really well last year was organic compost, manuer and peat moss. Super inexpensive and easy to find. I never had any problems and everything i grew was really great.

Peat moss-$9.98/lowes/60gallons

Pearlite-$4.98/walmart,lowes/ ½ gallons

Vermiculite -$4.98/Walmart ,lowes/ ½ gallon

Cow menure-$1.45/lowes/2 gallons

blood meal & bone meal-$ dont remember/Walmart / not sure

Fish guts- $free/fish market /tell them ur going catfishing w/ ur buddies all week/bring 2 5gallon buckets

—----------------------------------
Mix as instructed-
If gUerilla grow then keep peat moss in pack..


---------------------------------
Easy way to carry/how to make a peat moss back pack-
Take one piece 3-4ft rope,one towel(for cusion)tie the ends together to make a big O put ur pack in the middle of the pack then take 2ft piece of rope and
Tie so u have a back pack, two ropes on bottom one on top...
Heavy but easyer then haluing on ur shulder...

-------------------------

If money isn't an issue then u may be able to find a better soil but in my oppinion its the best the more soil u put in ur hole the bigger the plant which means bigger yeild,
Peat moss is light, drys nicly and plants flow threw it w/ no problem and one bag can easyly grow 5 plants...

---------------
Hope that helps

yea that helps a lot actually lol i was looking at pritty much all that but the # 1 question is on the mix ratio can u over do it with the natural fertilizers like blood and bone meal worm castings ect? like if u over do it with chem ferts they die


as for fish guts would that attract scavangers like racoons or skunks?

would worm castings be good to throw in if i could find a store that sells

as for the peat pellits to start out outdoor in a dome how many days u think it would hold enough moisture for? and whats a good bug repellent
