Hello there LisaSativa,
You could mix your own and premix it a few weeks in advance. I would recommend that you buy organic soil from a highly reputable dealer.
Good luck with your project, I wish you all the best! 👽

White mold?My smart pot is turning white at the bottom. There also appears to be roots trying to pop through. I put rocks between the pot and plate for air. I have one blade of grass and a tiny weed popping up, so conditions at the top of the pot are okay. Should be worried?6y ago

Fill up plant potsI mounded the soil around the stems of my plants to give them extra support, which creates a small hill in the center of the pot.
Now I’m thinking about filling up the rest of the pot with soil to level it out.
Is that a good idea? And what type of soil would be best for it?Week 4

I used a three gallon pot and filled it, with moist soil, to around 70% capacity. Would this soil be enough for a single Royal Gorilla Auto or Should I add more soil? If the answer is positive then how should I go about it? Any help is greatly appreciated since I am a total noob.Plant. Other

noticed the ph in the Pots is at 6.5+, something to do with the Hydroton. In order to balance it i had to drop the res PH to 4.0, but it constantly rises back up to 6. Using RO water
Suggestions appreciated, will the Hydroton eventually stop having the ability to raise my PH?Week 1

Drastic rise in ppm using top drip in hydrotonHey... i am having a problem with my top drip on hydroton (week 1). My ppm rises dramatically over a day and a half. Im talking 300ppm to 800ppm.
Hydroton has been rinsed well before use. I have run dwc and rdwc before in hydroton without any problems. Anyone have an idea?
