Whats the best soil that i can get for growing outdoors?

i have a few plants indoors right now they are only about 5inches tall.... i am not going to be living at this apt much longer and would like to move em to outdoors...... whats the best soil i can get at like lowes or home depot? and should i put em in pots or just dig hole and put the soil in the holes and transplant the plants to the ground
this may be a retarted question but it should be easy

they are all bag seeds if anyones wondering

smoke on doods

I was about to buy Mircale Grow but then somebody said peatless...I'm trying to find out myself. I heard perlite helps...

I've heard that miracle grow has been too hot and has shocked some plants...others have had great success... to me that says that it's probly a little too hott for marijuana growing...


I've heard great things about Fox Farms Ocean Forest, but it's kindof pricey.

miracle grow rocks!!!!!!!! i'm using fox farms and miracle grow with equal results.

I use premier pro mix and mix it up with the local sphagnum peat moss that's in the nearby bog (70/30) I get 7-8 footers with my mix, and around a pound per plant.

The first year I grew indoors I used the cheapest soil-less mix I could find and mixed it with perlite. I used the red and blue Miracle Gro granular type nutes.
The second year indoors I used the Fox Farm soil and Fox Farm Tri-pack nutes...I could not tell a bit of difference.
Long story short...Don't use potting soil, that shit turns to mud...use soil-less mix. Always start your nutes at 1/4 strength.
This year will be my 1st real grow outdoors. I had planned on using 5 gallon buckets but have decided to grow in the ground. The pics I see of inground plants look outstanding. Although our resident Badass FDD has some pics of monsters in pretty small looking containers. His threads and pics have lit a fire under my ass. Am I rambling? Somebody stop me.

Is "premier" the brand name? And I'm trying to decide whether to use peat moss or perlite..

yup 'premier' is the name brand

i was just searching for premier and it looks like it's a canadian product....u think i could find it at lowes or home depot?

yeah miracle grow is not a good choice id go with another basic type of soil mix. the kind i just bought is called sta-green all purpose soil mix..that should work pretty well

and that would be?

ive been using canadian peat moss and it works well.

what should i pick up at lowes or home depot????

i recently bought some soil at lowes called Jungle Growth. Its a soil mix with peatmoss, perlite, vermiculite, lime, composte aged pine bark, and horticulture grade hardwood charcoal. I think it should work out pretty good so far the plants like it.

sounds good....hey do u guys think you can produce a good plant in a swampy area

ive heard swampy areas work out very good... if you go to youtube.com theres a video on there that shows this guys plants he has growin in a swamp a very good setup. Go to youtube a type in cannabis swamp in the search engine theres a few of them.

Use peat-moss, perlite,lime,and any good soil mix that is derived from natural compounds

miracle grow is awsome stuff i don't give a fuck what anybody sais, ive used miracle grow nutes along side advanced nutrients along with others.....and miracle grow is just as good if not better. ive also used miracle grow soil and that shit worked wonders. but hey what do i know im still a noob to these guys, ive got like 12 +reps but it don't show up in theose little green squares >.> i agree with 4cyl5spd pro mix is the best of the best, get the microise and fungocde and mixe em both together in the same big hole. you'll have monster healthy plants.

hope this helps bro.
