So do i use different soils for the different stages or do i use only one kind of soil throughout the life of my plant ?

I use the same type of soil throughout my entire grow.

@Ogm1 some get a special soil for seedlings. So it’s not too nutrient rich and burn them. After the roots are established they transplant them to the soil of their choice for the rest of their lifespan.

Sorry ppl for all these questions i might ask the same question but i want to make sure of what I’m doing , what soil do you use ?

I heard coco soil is really good but I would go with pro mix or happy frog :frog:

@Ogm1 I use Fox Farms Ocean Forest through the entire lifespan. Seedling to harvest. You do however have to supplement proper nutrients about 5-6 weeks into veg, and of course proper nutrients for flowering.

No problem. Keep rolling out the questions. We like answering them. I use an amended coco and perlite based medium called “roots organics original”. It is a “soilless” medium which means it is treated more like a hydroponic. I water frequently and at a pH of 5.8.

And do i need one for soil and one for water for…

Regarding the soil, a lot of folks around here will recommend Fox farms ocean forest as a good starter soil. There are pros and cons to it, but it’s made for this type of plant. Regarding pH and why it is important: if you soil pH isn’t in the right range, the plant doesn’t eat well and can’t abso…

Thanks for all that info. @Sixpackdad spot on. The soil probes are very inaccurate. @Ogm1 Instead of the soil probe, take a cup of soil, make a slurry with equal soil and ph adjusted water, then you should be able to check the ph of the soil. FFOF usually is a good natural ph from the start. Alth…

Sometimes people will layer a milder soil on top Of the ocean forest and then let the seedling grow into it.
