ok i know fox farms like the best soil whats a good soil i can get in a local store.

nobody knows

come on

where are u about??

I found a wide variety at lowes, home depot, and wal mart. Long story short, 2 transplants later my plants are in a mix of scotts enriched lawn soil, Miracle grow organic choice, and african violet potting soil.

Just check the ph level in that soil.

so most of what depens is ph level

Well, check how heavy it is so you can easier gauge the amount of water to give. From what I've read, the ph of the soil should be fine around 7(neutral).

Hey Stony ...

If you want to really do it right, here's the ticket:

2 parts Shultz's Potting Soil Plus.

1 part Perlite.

1 part Vermeculite.

1 part Worm Castings.

Add one SMALL handful of Granulated Dolimite Lime per each two gallons of soil mix.

You should be able to get everything listed above from your local nursery.

For fertilizers use:

Vegging: Peter's "Jack's Classic" 20-20-20.
Flowering: Peter's "Jack's Classic Blossom Booster" 10-30-20.

Here's where to order the fertilizers via mail: http://www.jacksclassic.com/

Good luck ...
