I'm using Miracle Grow Potting Mix(not good) I don't know about the organic choice...
I here a lot of people like fox farm's Ocean Forest(can usually get at most hydro shops) but I haven't used it(I will with my next grow)
Usually you can find something with a good mix of perlite at the hydro shops...(you can always get one without or with a low amount of perlite and just add more for aeration.(there are other things you can add, but perlite is easy to find)

I would suggest staying away from soils with slow release fertilizers, makes it hard to know how much nutrients are being released and when they will be released.

Just a quick thought, Ya might want to reconsider growing a monster.... Come flower time your going to need a lot of 42watters or higher wattage cfl too keep up w/ a larger then avg size plant. I would think about maybe growing 2 or 3 2ft-3.5ft girls.

I didnt change it...i dnt thnk i am either. bt thanks ill jus add more 6500k bulbs. Is organic choice 4rm walmart a good soil?

I would try to find yourself some pro-mix usually any garden supply store. I would stay away from MG products. MG soil has slow release nutes in it, which will burn the shit out of your plants if your not really careful. I would try to find some nute free soil.. your girls are not going to need any feeding for the first few weeks anyhow.

Be patient bro.....it will be worth it. Growing a monster under cfls isnt really feasible, not impossible, but the fact is that cfls dont have the penetration to keep a big fuckoff tree happy. Its doable, but your grow room/box will look like a spider web with all your light cables.

And my plant has sum kind of problem, it starts 4rm the bottom then goes up.
The leaves turn yellow the almost white over a period of time. & the leaves are turning a purple-ish color on the edges.
Any advice would be most appreciated!
