Hi, So I need to go buy soil and nutes and I'm kind of limited to a Home Depot and Ace Hardware.

So below I will list the products I think I should buy and I need you guys to tell me if they would be good to use and maybe go through the home depot or ace hardware website and try to find the products I should buy if you have time to do this.

Soil:
1. Supersoil Premium Potting Soil - 2 cu ft - $8.47/bag
Product is here
2. Miracle Gro Organic Choice GARDEN Soil - 1.5 cu ft - $7.77/bag
Product is here

I'm thinking the Super soil over miracle gro? What do you guys think?

Now onto nutrients and plant food.

Vegging food:
1. Alaska Fish Fertilizer - (N - 5, P - 1, K - 1) - 1 qt - $9.44 ea
Product is here
2. Vigoro Ultra All Purpose Plant Food - NPK (12-5-7) - 5lbs - $7.98 ea
Product is here
3. Miracle Gro All Purpose Plant Food - NPK (12-4- 8) - 1 qt - $6.98
Product is here

So in this Im thinking the miracle gro? idk thoughts?

Flowering food:
1. Colorburst Flowering Plant Food - 3.5lbs - $6.48
Product is here

Thats the only one I thought would be good for flowering but Im not expert so advice please!

Other items:
1. Jiffy Peat Pots - I'll start them seedlings in this and stick this straight into the ground.
Product is here

2. Jiffy Greenhouse - For clones?
Product is here


So those are the products I thought I would need. Please give me advice on what to choose and whether or not the stuff I have on this list would be good. Feel free to go on the websites to see if there are any other good alternatives.

Thanks!
 
the Vigoro is closest to what I use.

Supersoil is good stuff, but I use Ace's potting soil. $4.49 or less, on sale.

If you intend to put peat pots directly into the ground, use at least 4" square pots.

I use 2" but put those in one gallon pots until the plants are at least a foot tall.

There's a post in my thread showing my transplanting methods.
 
Why not just go online and buy supplies? You will find much better products.

Shipping can be very expensive, but I think the option is worth checking out.

Amazon.com is a good place to start. They strive to offer the best prices, and many of their items are eligible for free shipping.
 
You won't need the greenhouse it's not big enough for clones. You can just flip a tupperware upside down for the same effect.

For dirt I'd find something cheap without nutrients then add your own. Ive using earthGro steer manure lately. Its like $.75/1.5cu. I used to get Black Kow at ACE and this was some of the better stuff I've used, unfortunately I don't have those around here.
