$50 where do you live. Its $20 here in Oklahoma. Heres a cool tip from TCC seeds. Grow the plants in small containers say half gallon. When they get to the 7 node top them back to the fourth, tag them for i.d. and place the tops in a vase make sure they get 12 hours daylight and 12 hours dark. Don't up pot until the males are gone.ok so when planting regular seeds how do you keep from wasting so much soil with male plants ? if you planted 10 seed all of the germinated and 5 were males if using fox farm soil that 50 dollars a bag you would need 2 or 3 bags if going with 3 gallon pots
What's your take on adding more to reconstitute it like you would other amendments?Bagged “potting soil” is not like the dirt outside. It is usually peat and perlite and amendments. Peat compacts with use and loses its drainage properties.
the answer to the threads question is keep the plants until maturity in a 1 gallon pot or take and label cuttings and put them in 12/12 lighting for a couple weeks and see if they are male or female and then transplant the moms only.
maybe some regular seed growers will chime in with more ideas.

My only experience with this is the massive heap of potting soil I've transferred now from 3 houses over 15 years, but it has served me well and I treasure it like an old sourdough starter.

ocean forest is what i have now lolcheck local greenhouses, feed stores and garden centers for local mixes or even ocean forest. Just avoid ones that say feeds 3 or 6 months and get extra perlite to mix in.

does reveg hurt the plants in anyway ?No. Maturity in veg. Some strains show little pistils. You can go ahead and transplant up those.
you can also put them in 12/12 and reveg the females.
