A question on soil

[Guest 18340]

Where i live I am near a Walmart and a Home depot. Im looking to buy soil from one of these stores for my blueberry clone that will become my mother plant.
I know theirs alot of you out there who have had success with soils sold in these stores so Im looking for what works and what to avoid. So...What did you buy and what did you add to it?

Ok i have had very good success with a soil sold at walmart called "perfect mix"..somtimes i didnt add anything to it but most of the time all i added was perilite. But basically that is the only soil ive used for the past 2 yrs and it has worked fine for me.

Damn Levitikuz called it perefct mix instead of expert mix like most everyone else lol,look for the bag that says expert gardener perfect mix.I've never used it but its been real popular for cannabis on the forums for some time.Probably get four bags for the price of a bag of ocean forest too!I need to get smart and break this fox farm addiction.No FFA meetings in my area..We have Future Farmers of America..No fox farm anonymous though..I need help.

Promix or majestic pro grower mix at homedepot. Add some extra perlite to the promix. Both of these are already limed for you.

Bv I had big soil ph problems using promix without lime,it was the first medium I ever used.The promix I used was too acidic,I could count on a soil ph of around 5 at midflower.Liming the promix solved that problem though,then I discovered OF and havent looked back

No need for a pic because you're right and most everyone else I was speaking about was wrong lol,didn't you read the rest of the sentence?Expert gardener perfect mix.I've seen a ton of people call it Expert mix.

ahh i see...well i used that potting soil as a quick cheap purchase on a couple of grows and it seemed to work quite well, about comparable to the grows i did with some expensive soil from the grow shop. So i decided i would use it from now on because if it works, why fix it? Perfect Mix is def been Perfect for me and my plants for 2 yrs now. I would recommend it to anyone.
