What soil do you use?

[Manny2499]

Hey there! What soil do you guys use for indoor? Guy at the store told me bushdoctor. So I’ve been using this one for now. Curious on what else I should try.

So that's coco coir... have you used coco before?

I’ve used coco with a bag of potting soil and mixed it really well but the guy at the shop told me It would be better using the bushdoctor.

First mistake, messing with a salesman. His job is to sell something. Not to say it's a bad product. Every substrate has limits within itself. So try it and see how it works. But remember it more about the plants nutritional needs. Try to do your homework or you will end up wasting more money and time on products than need be . Having the passion to grow is a life long commitment. Good plant, bad plants. Keep growing, growmie

Soil grows are easier to for you to recover your plants needs watering 2 to 3x per week at mature stages...longer grow cycles in general

Coco grows tend to need watering 1 to 2x daily...Coco can not retain as much nutrients either as you will potentially be using more nutes for Coco grows as well... Coco grow tend to be faster than soil grows but harder to keep stabilized

Hyrdogrows are not my area of expertise but I tend to feel like if 1 thing goes wrong your whole harvest is in trouble... that's just my personal opinion on that...

Aeroponic grows... apparently this is the fastest grow cycle to do... I just read that there is 1 large commercial cannabis aeroponics farm.... from what the master grower said he can flip a clone in 13 days vs a month in soil....

these and more of the same..

The nature of the beast. Good times and bad. So pick your beast. And hold on tight. But never give up

I really like Roots Original, safe for seedlings and enough food to start veg. I mix it with my recycled soil for the final pots

Right now fox farms happy frog. Switching to sohum next grow.

Trust me I’ve done a lot of research and there is a lot of different info. So it makes it hard on what to follow. People believe in what they do, if you know what I mean. That’s why I wanted to ask and see what people on here use.

That’s what few others have told me. Thanks for the info!

Just remember. Find what works for you. Most of these growmies will give you good information. But it really is about a strains need. Not what people assume . Keep growing, growmie

My local hydro store sells that and he swears by it.

That's exactly why I made sure to say in my opinion... you're spot on with this!

I use promix type soils, the brand doesn't matter and I've upped the perlite to 40% to help prevent compacting the soil. I think a lot of the fancy soils are too hot for seedlings and I stay away from Coco. I've seen far too many noobs with problems in coco & potting mixes.. I've been at it 25+ years and I'm happy with peat based mixes & General Hydroponics nutrients. I buy my soil in compressed bales like GNick55 posted above, although I have the Black bale BX now

I made my own soil. However if I was going to do it again I think I would use build a soils take and bake. Then add basalt and precharged biochar

What is build soil take and bake?

Oddly enough I went to get peat moss for my citrus tree. No one had it. Yet that promix was in stock everywhere. Walmart had some Whitney farms organic soil, which I went for. I couldn’t tell if the promix is organic or not.
