Hey this is my first outdoor grow and was hopeing for some pointers. I just ordered purple power, early misty, early bud, and kc 33 from nirvana. i live in a northern climate and plan to pick out 4 different grow areas. I will germinate the seeds and move into rockwool medium under flouros for a week or so before moving outdoors.

1. should i use the existing soil at the site i plan to grow or should i buy a certain kind of soil

2. what should i add to the soil (existing or purchased)

3. should i bag the holes i put the soil in? why or why not?

4. is hardening off my plants important in my northern climate? if so how can i do this while remaining stealth?

thanks for any help
