I am pretty new to growing my own bud and I have posted a thread on my very first tent grow here:

https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/296557-first-tent-grow-comments-advice.html

I would like to get some advice on choosing soil for my next grow. Are there any good organic potting soils that is readily available at like Home Depot, Lowe's or my local nursery. If anyone can recommend specific brands it would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Fox Farm's Ocean Forest. Absolutely superior quality soil.

I do believe you are right about that as many people have told me that. The problem I have is that I have to drive over two hours to get it. Well if I want the quality I have to take a road trip. Thanks for the reply bud.

Yeah Home Depot and Lowes has good soil. I like Kellogg and I hear great things about SuperSoil. The next time your in the store, read the ingredients on the bag If it has worm castings or bat guano then it's one of the higher end soils. Kellogg makes one called Patio Plus, it has everything fox farm has.

well i got it at a hydro shop, but im pretty sure they might sell it at a nursery, or diamond, or homedepot, and if not u can always order it, i bought a bag of the black gold for 13 dollors, same price i paid for fox farms lightwarrior, and the black gold has way more soil for the cost probably like 6 -7 times the amount, i really like it
