I have some seedlings under a couple CFLs right now, but when they get bigger I'm going to transplant them into 2gal pots in some quality Ocean Forest soil.
Here's the catch - I have six pots, six plants, one 12qt bag of quality Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil which was $20. I don't know why I didn't realize this sooner, but apparently 12qt is not going to be enough to fill 12gal of space (I'm going to need 3 more bags of this expensive stuff).
The fact that it's expensive aside, it also means 3 more big boxes arriving at my house... and my dad is already suspicious enough after receiving my grow lights and other big boxes for growing stuff.
Is there anything I can cut this soil down with, or a cheap soil that's decent that I can mix this with that I could get at my local A&P or hardware store, or some alternative to buying 3 more bags and spending another $60?
I DO want to use quality soil, I just didn't realize it would be this expensive... I'm prepared to order 3 more bags if I have to, I'd just really rather not...
Thanks guys.
