Im using Scotts potting soil, I didnt add any nutes until 3 weeks in to the grow then started at 1/4 strength and went up from there. I have had no problems.

I used MG and did fine until I had to flush. Compacts really bad. Needs much more perlite. I know this is not Scotts, but I suspect about the same quality.

Buying cheap soil is a big no no. Just mix one bag perlite to one 20lb bag of soil. This is my method and i use FF ocean forest (highly recommend if you want great results.

High Tech Garden Supply has the soil, but check on shipping charges, as I would think that shipping soil can get expensive.
Peace

Thanks Videoman. I found it a near by hyrdo shop.

Now that we are on potting soil and I am about to take 5 new clones from the humidity dome to new soil..... and that I am convinced MG is good for nothing other than to flick ashes in after I have dumped it in the garage floor trying to save plants from the non-draining compacting shit for soil.....

What does everyone recomend for the perfect growing soil?

Seedless recomends Ocean Forest® Potting Soil + perlite. If this is the case, how big of a bag of perlite to the 20 lbs bag of soil? Any other recomendations?

use one bag of perlite to one bag of ocean forest. trust me on the ocean forest stuff....you will thank me later (and you plants will also)


i am 100% sure you will see HUGE reslults over MG. my first grow I used MG and then i switched to FF and i almost shit my pants when i saw the differnce. i would never use any other soil.
