Hey guys,
I've been doing some pc grows around here. Some might know me. I don't visit this part as much though. Anywho...I'm bout ready to start another round with my PC and with the last run I found out I need to Beef up my soil...It just dont drain well and dosnt absorb water for shit. It just runs off and down the edges of the soil. All I've been using is Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil. Nothing Else added. I know... Butt...I'm ready to fix that. d I have access to Walmart, Kmart, Lowes, Home Depot and some health food store here in town. I need to know What I can get addatives for my soil, where to aquire it, and how much to use.

I'm going to be preparing about a 1 gallon soil mix. I know I need Perlite for drainage... How much should I add and where can I Aquire it?

I've heard of blood meal...bone meal..and others that I dont know..(suggestions are very welcome)... How much of other addatives do I need and where can I get them?

I'm needing a better soil mix. Help me prepare a new recipe...Tell me what you use and why!

Hoping for Help....Until then..STAY HIIIIGH!

I use peat and perlite as additives in my soil

I tend to put in 30 % perlite 30 % peat and 40 % soil, normally a potting mix, cheapest stuff Walmart has

Works well for me, I have no issues at all with it

Ok guys...i just got done shopping..

Picked me up some Perlite, Peat Moss, Bone meal, and Blood meal. Happy days! I popped a beaner in my aquarium so it starts beefin up...hopefuly it'll pop soon so i can grow again in the next few days.

Now I just have to do some minor PC repairs and prepare my soil mix and new pots...

Question is...how much of the blood and bone meal will I be needing now?

I'll be preparing about 1 gallon of soil for this go around. IDK how much to use for the meals...i've never used em before and I see many of you out there use them with much success.. Please help me out.

StAy HiGh!
