so I'm going to be using a 70/30 mix of Fox Farm Ocean Forest and Perlite in 5gal buckets for my growing medium. A 1.5cu Foot Bag of Fox Farm runs about 18 bucks and a 9cu Foot bag of Perlite runs about 20 bucks.
My question is, should I be using new soil for every grow? This can get costly, if its advised to get new soil everytime, I will, I don't want to sacrifice quality to save a few bucks but if I dont have to use new soil everytime I won't. just trying to save as much money as possible.. you know.. the economy and all First time growing indoors so its going to be a learning experience for me.
also I assume im going to need to feed these girls and I dont want to spend a boatload on nutes, so have people had good results with the plain old miracle grow plant food for veg? and what do you guys recomend for a common store bought food for blooming phase?
