Go to your local recycling facility if you have such a place nearby, and see if they give out composted soil.
- A 15 liter pot of that, should be able to carry an auto fro seedling to harvest, without the need to add fertilizer.
It's a very good way to get experience as a first time grower, before you start spending money on soil and nutrients while lacking knowledge. And wile your plant grows, you'll have a lot of time to google and read about growing cannabis to prepare for your next grow. ^_^

Use whatever type you can get in your area. Happy frog is good, or if you want to go soiless, pro mix hp is a great choice. Just stay away from any soil that has "time release" nutrients in it. Happy growing.

Feeding After Trauma QuestionI will feed super lightly tomorrow on August 7, but want to what other growers think.
Kaboom toppled over on August 3. I refrained from feeding to allow her time to stabilize and have only watered once since the fall. In your grower opinion, was waiting to feed necessary? thx 😊7 months ago

Your opinions on when to harvestHi, I'd really like to know your opiniions on harvest. As a newbie I'm still trying to figure out when to chop her down. My goal is a strong psychoactive high with some body relexation (maybe 20% amber?). I think I will give her another week. What do you guys think? Thanks!Week 13

Share your mutant experience! I have a three-leafed beauty!Whorled phyllotaxy, apparently! Definitely a sign of good fortune :)
Did some reading up and my impression is that there's nothing special to be done about this, including feeding regimen. Maybe I should build a hexagonal tent for her? 😁
