yup fresh soil. I really hope theres no nasty bugs in it, shall be vigilant and keep a very close eye on them. Guess the ph should be checked too. The ph is not something I normally think about or bother with. Will an inch of sand work as a top dressing? Perlite is expensive, sand is free

I see what you mean it looks like cement in that photo. Have attached a pic closer to what it really looks like. Its nice enough stuff, have grown veggietables with it before.

Hi folks, im new here. I have a 600w hps and a 4x4 tent but am looking to downsize for stealth, noise, space and power consumption issues. Also, 600w is way overkill for the amount I actually get through. I have spent the past week reading about LED lights and it has just left me more confused...
