good or bad soil choice.

It looks alive!! :D So do you think I should just use this now and buy some more later at the end of summer, because right now I would have to wait like 3 months and store the soil...?
Yeah, why would you not? You just got legit organic soilless mix for a steal.

Well I switched over to organic soil today so I'll probably only use water. And just see what happens. Can I use Dr Earth organic fertilizer? Or since I'm using MG organic soil should I just use water?
Dr earth is a great product. You can use it to beef up the soil or add it later. Bloodmeal, fish bone meal, kelp meal, soft rock phosphate, crab meal, neem meal you name it they make it. I use a combination of organically done and down to earth lines because they never have everything I need in dr earth. I'm sure they make it but the stores in my area don't really carry it anymore.

I use a mixture of Nature's Care core products (VFF food, bone, and blood, and I'm going to get their insecticidal soap), plus FF Bat Guano with humic acid and myco, Espoma dolomite lime, and Plantation Unsulphured Blackstrap Molasses.

You can mix a bunch of organics soil and soilless add all the goodies on a tarp mix well and spray it with water lightly moisten it, not wet or saturated. Then put it in a trashcan let it sit for a month you should get a white mold or fungus on top put it back on the tarp, mix and then put back in the trashcan for a month. This is what people mean by cooking the soil. what happens is it activates the soil and starts the food web. Two to three months is perfect and after that its ready for growing.

Right, and organics, you can keep in rotation.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing....
Not to an asshole.jpg or anything....You have a desire to grow and you have invested some time and $$$ in growing. Now, there is enough material on cannabis and it's propagation and cultivation to keep anyone busy for a lifetime of growz...always something new to learn.

As for a 'trial run'...yoda.jpg Taken lightly no grow should be, a terrible thing to waste a cannabis seed is, read and learn then succeed you will.

Well my fast n vast autos did not like commercial bagged chunky soil at all...
That stuff sits in a bag on a pallet for weeks or months ???
And since I have changed soil to a local nursery organic soil, things are looking Alot better...
If a Professional nursery uses it then it must be good ?
I could even tell by the smell that it was good stuff.
Go nursery :))
