I started growing when I was around 16, I use to take a back pack with everything I needed I would ride my bike an hour or 2 away find a creek and plant near by, I've learnt a lot since then..nearly 10 years ago and I'm still learning from my mistakes
I did my first outdoor grow at 14 going on 15 Ive been doing it almost 19 years and have only missed 2 seasons in that time some years were small 4-5 plant grows others were closer to 400 but I'm in the same boat as everyone still learning and still making mistakes but loving it more now than ever

These are the first plants I ever grew when I was 18. Didn't know a thing about growing so I planted 2 random seeds in winter, both grew into tiny little stumps with a bud on top. It came to spring started re-vegging so cut the bud off and let it go again and they ended up branching like crazy into these crazy sativas. Didn't give them a single dose of nutrients the entire time, just dirt and water. Still hands down the craziest weed I have ever smoked despite it looking like dried grass, real nice sweet smell, flowered forever, I probably cut them around week 16, could've gone longer, but the high man, jesus christ. This shit was like taking acid

The real greatness of it was that there was no ceiling to the high so you could just keep getting higher and higher, after 2 hits everything was waving and covered in vibrant psychedelic colors while you're vibrating in a wave of euphoria. My friend just left his job when I harvested this and he decided to take a month and a half break before getting another job so he just stayed at mine pretty much the whole time and just smoked with me. We smoked so much back then, especially doing 30 cones in an hour of that stuff, I almost fell through a glass table I was so messed up, could barely walk. Was impossible to construct a sentence haha

Now that weed with some lsd and dmt at parties was a pretty fuckin' groovy time

mate id just stick with castings and perlite for now. even a shit bagged soil should have enough in it for the first bit of the plants life. Add mild ferts to it when your plants look hungry or else youll cook em when theyre seedlings

you never know whats in a bagged mix until you try and grow something in it but it should buffer pH ok as it is. try and get things in the 6.5 - 7 range and it should be alright (at least to start with). If shit goes south you can start measuring runoff etc. to see where its going wrong. dont go looking for problems that arent there and it'll take a lot of the stress out of it for you and your plant

Run off is a bit misleading with soil a better way is to do a slurry test,grab a little bit of soil from a few different areas mix it up in a small amount of water and strain out most of the solids and test that but I wouldn't worry,unless you have a heap of wood chips especially pine in your soil
