really depends how much your growing what do you have for lights and pots? you really don't want to cheap out on soil and nutes if you invested in an hid light and a carbon filter and shit. I use pro-mix bx soiless mix but its around $30 a bail then you got to buy nutes you can use general hydroponics 3 part nutes and run the lucas formula for flower and do pretty good they also you can use just their maxi grow for veg and maxi bloom for flower. but if its just a ghetto cfl grow I wouldn't bother just get cheap soil and cheap nutes from a nursery their cheap shits a lot better than walmarts.I am trying to keep it under $20 if I can do that and my store has it I will ask on it.
I am just trying to keep a few clones alive- not much more than that... Not a "Ghetto CFL grow" as it is not flowering therefor not a full grow... but thanks I went to the feed store around my town(big growers work there) and got some black goldreally depends how much your growing what do you have for lights and pots? you really don't want to cheap out on soil and nutes if you invested in an hid light and a carbon filter and shit.

Big box store??You can get a bag of "seed starting mix" (soilless mix) for $4 at my local big box store, and it works just fine, even the miracle gro. The brand they carry changes occasionally, but it's always under $4.
