Switching from hydro to soil need advice

Familyguy420 · Jun 1, 2018

Hi all. So I'm switching from hydro to soil as the title suggests. I plan on doing 4 plants and was wondering if anyone had advice on whether or not i could create a high quality organic soil for $100 or less? If so could you provide the necessary ingredients and any other information i may need. I truly appreciate any help and or advice given.

Yeah ive read i need to add those. Im trying to make a high quality super soil. Hydro was just to difficult do to time limitations with work and my kids. I did aeroponics and my sprayers clogged a few times, res ran low etc. I want something i don't have to worry about those things happening. I understand there is still alot of work to be done regardless but a water only super soil would be great so i can focus more time on learning to train and other basics of growing

There’s a whole section on soil grows and soil building. Look up subcools soil build.

Ive looked into that actually. It seems like it would cost about $200 to build that soil though. I know i sound cheap, i just spent so much on the hydro stuff my budget doesn't have much wiggle room. I could probably do some calculations and dial it down to fit my budget and specifications though right?

Depending on where you live there are options for premade super soil.
