I would recommend using liquid nutrients instead of a "premix" soil that has nutrients inside it.

for those who don't know what NPK stands for, I'm talking about the 3 macro nutrients found in potting soil, thanks!

Word, there are many mixes, subs has been good for me.  Have also liked simple Roots Organics with supplemental mycorrhizae, and xtra PK in flower, fool proof and perfect outdoors out of the bag.  Can be moist so sometimes I ad some perlite.  Eazy money.  Roots is good for noobs.

Last year was my first time growing the plant. I used roots in fabric pots and was happy with it for sure. It held moisture nicely but was also pretty airy/fluffy, drained nicely and wasn't compact...I got a nice watering cycle going where I watered every other day, even during the peak of summer with lots of 95 to 100+ degree days and super low humidity I didn't have to water every day.

I used the roots-organics "original" soil. I used a little bit of "Dr. Earth" fertilizer 5-5-2 during veg, mixed in with the soil and also tea/top dressed...Then a bit before and during flower I used some Dr. Earth 3-9-4 in tea and top dress...also used some earth worm castings/molasses in tea and top dress throughout the grow....And that was about it.

It was my first time growing the plant and I was pretty happy with how it turned out...It was some of the most dank outdoor herb I've ever seen, and some of the best weed I've seen in general regardless of indoor or out lol. And I live on the west coast and have been smoking for years so I've seen quite a bit of dank weed.



I'll be re-cycling the same soil again this year, mixed up with some fresh roots soil and amendments....after the grow this year I plan on making my own soil mix.
