Any black soil with proper pH level (5.0 - 6.5) is alright. Get some perlite too, mix it with your soil (80% soil, 20% perlite). Also make a perlite layer 1-2 cm thick at the bottom of your pot - it helps draining.

Spider Farmer driver failure. LED HELP. Should've went HLG.
Ok this is hard. Sf 4000 driver failure & idk what I did lol. Plugged into extensions and a surge protector but aside from flipping a fuse every once in awhile this came out of nowhere. Any help would be great or even just where to start. Already checked connections.

Manure in outdoor pots.
How much manure should I mix into my pro-mix. I have a pile of seasoned manure from last year and want to use it in my outdoor pots. I want to mix in some Gaia Green bloom into it also. Thinking of using 10 gallon fabric pots. My photo seedings just popped out of pure pro-mix.

Durban poison in soil
I have Durban Poison coming on Monday and after buying them, I did some research (dumb I know). Don't have the time for a hydro set up. Will it still do good in soil and are there any tips for growing in soil?
