m0useanswered grow question 3 years ago I'm making an assumption this will be outdoors vs indoors. I don't recommend soil for indoor grows.
If your growing in soil like a garden bed, you don't need to PH it, nature takes care of that all on its own, if tomatoes grow there weed can too.
fertilize outdoors like you would a heavy feeding garden plant every 1 to 3 weeks. I prefer nutes that need to be broken down to preserve soil microbial life, eg manure, compost exct. Liquid nutes work well just salts build up over time and can hurt the longevity of the garden. however liquid nutes work best in container gardening as there is a lot of run off outdoors when it rains.
If its a new spot outdoors in the soil, dig it up and mix in some amendments or a good rich compost. will help the roots develop there and aerate the medium.
ps plant some marigolds/chives/cilantro by it as well. they attract a lot of predators that will eat pests should they come knocking.
