I'm in the US and I was planning on some visits next weekend to see what's around. But I was trying to get an "idea" from growers on what I should be looking for/using.What country are you in? Many countries in Europe are prohibiting peat. Have you explored your local garden nursery and see what kind of soils are available?
Thanks, I'll have a look.Read this and instead of getting the pots ready, you will be prepping holes in the ground.

You will probably not have enough time to get the soil conditions correctly and move the plants to the soil. You could look into raised beds and make up a super soil. I have never done this while growing outside in a green house but the raised beds would allow you to take some time off and still keep the plants alive and not having to water everyday.Thanks, I'll have a look.
The major reason for growing in pots is that our soil is clay and currently we're working on trying to condition what soil there is in a few plots for a garden but the clay is making it tough.

Secondly, I always purchased soil. Fox Farms Ocean Forest. I have seen some good batches and some no so good. Additionally, I always used liquid nutrients. Never dry but dry are much more economical. That said. If I was going to attempt what you are looking to do. I would probably make a super soil and get a simple 3 part nutrient water line for later in flower. Take a look online for Sub cools super soil mix. I have heard great things about it. But start the plants off in something that has less supersoil and transplant into the super soil
Well, we just recently purchased the place so we haven't had much "summer" time to prep and we just got a power tiller so that's the plan for this summer. But that doesn't help for the upcoming growing season.When is the last time you ran a power tiller thru your yard?
Save up all your compost and till it into the ground. That's the fastest way to condition your soil.
A lot of us here us Promix or a similar type peat mix...Sunshine mix,,,,,i like ABS Greenworld their VPW30 is my go to but it's not available all the time...Promix has been the more expensive of them but its all relatively cheap at $30Cdn for a large 3.8 cu/ft compressed bale.Well, we just recently purchased the place so we haven't had much "summer" time to prep and we just got a power tiller so that's the plan for this summer.
