Trying to find better soil and fertilizers

Can anybody suggest a growing soul for cannabis that is not extremely expensive and kind of on the budget side of things. And what about newts I haven't really decided if I want to go with something like the fox farm Trio or one of the other specific cannabis ferts combinations.

Fox farm is available to me at a local farm supply store. I live in the middle of no where midwest so I dont have a lot of options. Grow big and tiger bloom anyway. They dont carry big bloom, so i ordered it. Some say you need to add some cal/mag at some point if you have deficiencies. I have never had an issue. Might be the local water I dont know. You can get by with just the trio in my experiences just fine.

The same place sells a huge bail of peat moss for like $14 bucks and bags of perilite for like $6. Just mix in the proper ratios and you got some decent stuff on a budget that should fill some containers.

Here's the chart. If you hit a winning scratch off you can add the other 3.

Mega crop from these guys greenleafnutrients.com cheap easy one part nutrient from start to finish. As for soil I like roots organic original. 707 is good to mix with the original but mainly I use original with added perlite.

How much budget is your budget ?

Well I'm not going to mention exactly where I live for security reasons but let's just say I live in the Mid-South and my local Lowe's or Walmart is the only two places other than a Farmers Co-op and just about the only thing that they offer is some sort of generic brand or Miracle-Gro and maybe Scott's if I was to get good stuff I am going to have to order it so thanks for giving the name of a good place to get it from also

Also which Fox Farms soil do you get and how much is it for how big of a bag

Well I'm actually headed to that place now. These are on the shelf prices at a place like rural king. (It's not rural king) If you order it from Amazon I'm sure you'll get it cheaper but you gotta pay shipping and you won't be supporting your local economy. Some of this stuff is probably at your local co-op .



The fox farm didn't have a price on it. It's about the same as the happy frog.
You can get this thing of peat moss for about the same price

(See attachment)
Add some of this

And a little of this
And you get a lot more soil for your buck. A lot of really useful stuff here.
The girl at the register checked prices for me.That bag of fax farm is 12.99. The peat moss is 14.00. I told her you were tryin to grow some pot. She says call her sometime.

If you only have a co op or Lowe’s and such look into getting compost and perlite the kind that’s not enriched with nutrients that stuff can mess up your grow. Also I’d look around here and suggest either getting megacrop there’s a lot of us here that use and it’s super cheap to run it rather than the overpriced water bottles. Happy frog and oceanforest is decent soil if you can find it but if not just find the compost and perlite.

Good luck on your hunt

Thanks for all the help in a severe crisis right now I have got all the way to the budding stage work so hard to get here and now my plants are starting to look like this I have sprayed them with epsom salt water like suggested my pH seems to be okay maybe not perfect but it should be enough to where they should be okay

I knew this grow was going to be a trial and error and I wasn't expecting a very good harvest but I would like to figure out what I'm doing wrong and what I'm doing right that way on my next one maybe I'll have better luck

Over fertilized even the perlite you used has nutes in it
