soil is indeed a good way to go for beginners. changes are slower so you have more time to react to any problems that arise. perlite is a form of expanded rock that you mix into the soil to improve drainage and water retention. i used to buy it in Miracle (it) Gros bags from homie depot or wally world garden section for about 5 bucks, enough for lots of pots. coarse vermiculite is a similar soil additive. Coco is used as a "soil-less" medium. not really hydro or soil it kinda acts like both. It is also pretty easy to run from what i hear but it requires a few extra considerations and special nutes and supplements, and you probably won't get it at a big box store. As for your plants, im not sure what the law of your land is but if they allow you to grow then dispensaries should also have seeds and cuts available i would think. at least they should be able to direct you to people that do. anybody from michigan wanna chime in here? and there is always the THCBay here on this site for seeds. I would be wary of using random seeds you find in buds, who knows what kind of party grab bag of genetics those things got or whether it will even be a lady. If you can get a clone thats the way to go since its already growing and you know its female. plug and chug.
