I am about to start my 2 autoflowers. I have seen so many soil brands. I was wanting to know what soil would be best for autos in a small closet grow?

promix/proterra. I picked up some proterra cause it was cheaper than the promix but theyre all basically the same thing. peat based mixes with perlite and dolomite lime.

pretty cheap depending on where ya get it.

promix I have not seen outside of nurseries. its basically 75/25 peat/perlite. you can mix it yourself. it has no nutritional value.. add to it some composted manure. that's your N. also add some minerals like azomite, rock phosphate, dolomite lime, Epsom salts, humic acid and some hort grade charcoal. mix well and enjoy:)

i get soil from a local nursery and garden center that prepares their own soil for growing. it's ten bucks a bag and great soil. GL

Home depot by me carries it. If you can find it or another peat/coco based soil you should get that and some Dyna-Gro, youd probably have to get that online though. If youre growing autos you could probably just get by with the bloom bottle only. Good stuff, very complete, and a good price. Perfect for coco/peat based growing and im growing an auto with both of those and its working well for me.
