Hey everyone, I'm new to the web site, I joined hoping to get some info and make my 2nd attempt at a decent grow better than my first.
I've been studying and I really want to do this grow with Plagron grow mix w/perlite.
Problem is, I can't find anywhere here in the states.
I plan on using Hesi root complex w/supervit, then Hesi bloom complex w/supervit, then adding phos. plus to the bloom complex & supervit at the 4th week of flowering. Also using 400w MH during growing phase, then 400w HPS during flowering stage.
With all this, do I really need a top grade potting soil? Or can I go to Home Depot and get miracle grow potting soil?

its up to you what kind of soil you use everyones different,i use planton bat mix usualy, but all mix this time,just use miricle grow if theirs no perlite in it put 30 % in.

miracle grow do a Organic Potting soil Its available in the U.K and U.S - Its a very Hot mix so needs to be mixed with a decent potting soil -

check out "Blazeoneup hits the dirt again" on ICmag in Growers Forums > Indoor Grows - Soil -

he uses a pretty nice mix there that does not seem to need any further nutes during the grow cycle..

Hope this helps,

I'm on my fourth grow now and I've used FoxFarm's Ocean Forest soil every time.
It comes packed with bat guano, earthworm castings, sphagnum moss, and perlite for aeration.
It basically replaces my need for nutes during my veg period and first week of flower.
Then I slowly add flower boosters. Hope this helped.
Cheers
