well I have Been looking at this site and would like to know what you think of them,

This is the soil
http://www.growell.co.uk/p/1304/Bio_Bizz_All_Mix_Soil.html

And the nutes to go with (so it says)
http://www.growell.co.uk/p/0702/Bio_Bizz_Nutrients.html

so what do you think?

Are theses ok to start of with and would you add anything else from there range? and would they be all the nutes I would need as I would like to keep it as Organic as I can...

the strength of the nutes look ok but is difficult to determine potash. the allmix looks fine to use for soil. now all you have to worry about is lighting.

Stick with Fox Farm for the fertilizers and the soil. Nice when they are made to work together.

Do you have a link to a few places so I can have a look at the price?

not to be rude mogie but not everyone has access to Fox Farm brand products ... and i prefer not to receive any products through mail order (just my own personal preference) if you are planning a large grow (i.e. over 10 plants for instance) i use my own soil mix but if you do choose to buy commercial soil be sure to add perlite, vermiculite or something else to "soften" the soil so that the root system of the plant can be easily established ...

Definitely! I have perlite and vermiculite mixed in with a normal garden soil with a relatively high nitrogen mix and it's helped my soil no end!

if you have foxfarm ocean blend, it is all mixed up for you. it is a perfect balance for growing. I agree with mogie, I only use foxfarm and I get pretty good results. if you need a link for UK try eBay UK Shop - American Garden Supply: Advanced Nutrients, FoxFarm Nutrients, Organic Nutrients

i think the ocean forest is good but has anyone noticed that the stuff doesnt retain and water? i mean its like a fuckin water fall your nutes go directly through. i think its a waste of money and nutrients when the medium doesnt retain any liquid
