I would greatly appreciate some input as to what brand of potting soil to buy.
I was thinking miracle grow or something else in or about the same price range (tight budget, Retired).
I understand that the nitrogen level needs to be higher than the P and K levels. Also the PH should be between 6.0 and 8.0.
If you’re short on funds the Fox Farm soil like I was saying you can do a start to finish with it as long as everything goes right and I used zero nutrients but it’s not recommended but it is possible you will definitely want a pH meter some pH up and down
Yes it does but a lot of the peeps here use it with great success
You can use mg seedling soils to get you started @Bus001if you want too
I myself use organic potting soil no nutes add and mix with perilite about a 70/30 mix soil to perlite
But you need to watch and ad nutes
Also if you want I have a tread called
