Hi, buy once, cry once! Do NOT cheap out on soil. Buy the good stuff! My list of favorites (and I mixed them a lot of the times) Soil King Big Rootz, Mendo Mix, roots organic lush, Promix, fox farms, Mother Earth, indicanja—- been on a Big Rootz/mendo mix/promix combo lately—- works great!

I used BioBizz light mix with about 25% extra perlite (dry organic nutrients). It's done me a great job and I will use it every time, very low to virtually zero nutrients in it so great for adding soil amendments like castings etc. - I started my own worm bin just to compliment it in the future.

It’s all a matter of preference and also what’s available to you regionally. I like to use fox farms brand soils because they are easy for me to get. My local garden center sells them, as well as the local hydro stores. I use happy frog for my autos and ocean forest for my photoperiod plants.

I grow in straight promix HP, the one with the orange or red cross on the bag. It is soulless growing., another form of hydroponics. The quickest way to grow. Feed at hydroponic levels and ph. If your looking for fast grows, this is how I do it...
