In-Depth Information
12 is fine, 20-20-20 is fine, 12-6-6 is fine and 18-4-5 is fine. The 12-
12-12 and 20-20-20 are the best ones to find. Something like 8-20-20
is not suitable for vegetative growth. Bags with higher P are for
flowering plants. As a grower we do not transplant to new soil for
flowering. We simply use plant feeds to bring up the P levels during
flowering.
STRUCTURE
Try to find a soil that is not too moist. In other words try to
find a soil that dries out well and does not hold water like mud. It
should say on the packet whether the soil is a wet or dry one. Try to
find a balance between the two. Wet soil will sometimes cause plant
damage because your roots need air to breathe. Dry soil may also dry
out too quickly and needs to be watered more often. Try to find a soil
that is loose and feels fine but slightly heavy in your hands.
Basically the soil structure is up to you. Do not buy anything
that is hard and bulky or too soft and weightless. Medium Soft and
heavy is what you want.

here we will briefly go through a few. Marijuana can be grown in most
of these soil types but you will see that there may be some problems
