What is the Right Soil for Weed Plants?

Fox Farm markets several excellent varieties. While some may consider their OCEAN FOREST too hot for seedlings, others disagree. Personally, I would start out with FoxFarm HAPPY FROG. It has microchrizae (sp?), microbes that aid root development. Some folks will tell you that it's Fox Farm's econo-blend. Whatever...it produces great yields (from what I've been told), and is less likely to present problems for the newbie. They also sell LIGHT WARRIOR (great for seedlings, too). Also, spend about $150.00 and get the Fox Farm nutes and ferts, including their Bush Doctor Kangaroots and/or Bush Doctor MICROBE BREW. The expense will reap manifold benefits. Like investing pennies and getting dollars in return. Don't be tempted to use anything from Miracle-Gro/Scott's unless you're growing Tomatoes or Marigolds. That time-release fertilizer may work on the pretty flowers in your neighboors garden, but likely, if your reading this, you're planning on growing something else One brand of Potting Soil that I haven't tried, but have heard good things about is PRO-MIX brand products. They have several varieties available at Menard's (didn''t see it at Lowe's or Depot). Good luck, and please remember, I only know how these soils work on legal herbs, flowers and vegetables (based on laws of the state I live in, using legal growing techniques). If any of the abovementioned products work for growing anything illegal in your locality, consider it pure coincidence. Good Luck!:peace:

bongsmilieThere are alot of right soils to grow something from the cannabaceae family. A mixture of clay, silt and sand would be ideal. Also any organic material from previous grows that you have chopped up real fine would be good to add in. Also mushroom compost is an excellent choice as a soil or an amendment because its packed with organic goodies. If you are using heavy clay soil, put in some vermiculite, perlite and other amendments IMO. Happy Growing
 
I would have to say it is a preference thing. I have a medical grow that I just started and I'm using Pro-Mix Bx. This is a soilless mix that already comes stocked as a mix. There is a good amount of perlite and that is what I was looking for. My plants love it and it is pretty reasonable. I think I paid arond $40 us, and that was for 3.8 cubic feet. (Way more than I needed =)
