some one i now told me to use this super soil from lows. well i impatiently only used that in the pots without reading the bag. It says to use 1 part super soil and 2 parts native soil. What can I do to fix this ? :wall:

just tranzplant your plant into a bucket or tub of water and the soil will seperate from the leaves then use the right soil medium good luck

do u mean take the plants out of the pots with the existing soil and place soil and all in a tub of water. let the soil wash away from the roots and then start over

yes but be carefull with the roots and it will work fine you can actually go out and buy this anti-shock powder that helps the plant avoid going into shock you can find it at TSC, walmart, ect.

If you live in the States, buy Schultzs' Pro Potting Soil. If you live outside the States, buy any good organic potting soil at your local nursery. Here's the mix:

2 part potting soil.

1 part Perlite.

1 part Vermuclite.

1 part worm castings.


Add one SMALL handful of granulated dolimite lime (keeps PH in check). Mix it all together and grow.

You won't need any ferts for at least 45 days with this mix. All of the above ingredients should be available at your local nursery.

Also, while at the nursery, buy a "moisture meter." This will give you and accurate guage on when to water and when not to.

marijuana plants LOVE the mix I just gave you. With proper lighting, ventilation, etc., you should be able to grow some prized plants. Good luck ...

try spraying them till nice and moist every 3 or 4 days pretty much when the dirt starts drying up best way to tell is by putting your finger in the soil to feel the moisture if too dry water if too moist let it dry a lil
