Outside Dirt To Start My Clones?

I've got a couple of white widows I been growing from my first grow, and I have 2 clippings that I've been keeping alive in water for about 3 weeks now, and they have taken root. (To cheap to buy Root Hormone plus was waiting on the right soil) My question is can I take some outside dirt and bake it to kill off any pest and use that for the first month till I upgrade the clones to fox farm?

yea that sounds fine, just as long as the dirt your taking hasn't been fertilized recently. I personally wouldn't bother with baking it, especially if the cuts are going to be for outdoors.
If the soil is really muddy try to cut it with something so it drains well Or just try not to over water.

With my first grow I did what you are asking about, but with a seedling. I just took some dirt from my yard, put it in a party cup and then threw the seed in there once she cracked. It worked just fine but just make sure to learn to read your plants that way you know when to switch to FF. I waited a little long to switch mine, I actually just planned on using my backyard dirt for most of the grow and get some nutrients to add in but after a few weeks once my seedling started to get her legs she was missing out on many nutrients, which is when I went out and got some FFOF and transplanted her to that.
