i have a plant that is just growing in sand, no nutes nothing but the hot florida sun, and its 1 week old now, has anyone ever grew a plant in sand lol....
 
I've grown other plants in very sand soil. It's not a bad substrate for plants that like good drainage, like marijuana does. Only problem is you have to water more often and constantly supply nutrients. If you can add a bit of loam or bunches of compost/mulch the plants will fair better.

Edit: No need to add nutrients the first few weeks, the plant will probably do better in sand then rich soil. Nutrients burn young seedling roots.
 
its not going to be very healthy...
I lived in Fla. for 1 year and dug a hole and put organic soil in it and mixed it up fairly well and grew a giant bagseed plant. did great with that mixture and all for not...... it was a fucking male! oh well, I guess you get my point about sand.
 
there isnt too much of a difference in growing in sand, perlite, coco......do it, just keep her wet (thats what she said)
 
i transplanted a seedling into sand at the beggining of this summer becuase its my first grow and i didnt understand how everthing works... they plants became the most healthy and large plant... now it is in flowewring and doing awsome:P one thine it that sand dries out a little faster than usual brown soil... also sand breaks up easyier so somtimes water would just go strait throgh to the wholes in the bottom of the contaner... i recently transplants the plant from its pot wit sand in it to the ground.. and i didnt even notice any shock;P

im probably going to get some soil to put around it, so some nutes go into the ground and so it stays a little bit more wet
 
yea im not adding any nutes till the third week, ive already had a plant that was like a month maybe a little older, but it was a male so i just pulled it, i put some rocks around it to so the sand can stay wet longer
