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! 👽

Grow medium for BeginnerHello! Newbie Here! Can anyone recommend growing medium for a beginner? I don't care too much about flavour or yield, rather I'm looking for low-maintenance options/fool proof options. Also looking for nutrients that are somewhat easy to use and understand for that substrate.Setup. Substrates

adjusting ph level with BioBizz Light Mix and coco mixI have been adjusting my ph level to around 6.2-6.5. Now I'm wondering whether this was a mistake (see previous post), since I'm using BioBizz Light Mix (60%), coco coir (30%) and perlite (10%) as my substrate. Our tap water has a ph level of about 7.3.Week 5

Planting directly into soil with full of other roots? (Outdoor Guerilla Autoflower)The site is full of brambles with dense rootzones. I have dug a hole but its full of roots. Is it OK if I cut down every single root from my hole? Could my plant catch bacteria and etc from the brambles roots? Won't the brambles roots suck away all my nutrient from my plant?Roots. Other

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
