I am going to be growing roughly 10 AK47, and 5 White Widows... I've done some research but some parts are unclear which is why i am making this post. I dug a 4x4ft hole yesterday to see how the texture is of the ground at the spot. It is near a water source. I would say another 2 feet i would be at water table, but it gets a little difficult digging deeper.
My question. Filling 15 wholes that are 4x4 ft with quality soil will be far too expensive. Considering the texture of the ground soil there isn't too bad, what would be the best bet for a mixture to create that can be mixed with some soil that is already there? I understand you can use perlites, peet moss, etc... but can i buy bags of that? I was planning on transporting the plants from their 16 oz cups to a 5g pot of Fox Farm Ocean/Light warrior 50/50 mix, then transport them with that soil into the hole. Hope this makes sense
Also i plan on using chemical Nutes, and watering when needed. Watering will not be a problem. I do however plan on covering around the plants with Mulch. I am just worried the soil will be too dense or something. This is my first grow, thats why i am nervous about which soils to use.
