This year ill be doin my first grow and i want to do things right. I've been creepin around the site for some time now and have learned quite a bit from the riu community. In text, everything seems really easy and i plan on keeping it that way. My grow will be outdoors and i'll be doing a journal as soon as i decide on soil and get my sites prepped. I'll be planting 10-20 beans in 3-6 sites. Anyways, i have some questions about soil. I was readin around and herd some good reviews about fox farms ocean forest potting soil. I can't remeber the name of the soil but i herd you can mix the two, that being OF and the one i cant remember (its two words if that helps) and it makes for a really good medium. The issue is that I live in Ontario and i've only herd about OF being sold in the US. Does anyone know where i can buy OF in Southern ontario? preferably not online. I haven't been able to find an average ratio of soil to perlite and other soil additives so if someone could help me out with that, that would be awesome. Also when im mixing the soil's aswell as perlite and such, how do i know what one part is? What happens if the bag of perlite is double the size of the soil? would it then be say 1/2 part perlite to 1 part soil (just an example of a 1:1 ratio)? When i read about people mixing say one part "..." to one part "..." is that assuming the bags are the same size? just tryin to clear up somethings before i start the grow. Id hate to mess up something so simple.
