your answer lies in the question. check out the build a soil blends. at the start of the day it really depends on what grow style you want to do. organic? bottled nutes? dwc? the autos ive grown soo far do not like tons of food fyi. if you want to build your own blend of super soil i have tested the subcool mix, mzjill mix, and the original coots mix. all work very well. keep in mind most recipes require a cook time. stick with something simple and already tested to start before you expand.

yep. for autos, if i was just starting fresh, i would order the “light” mix soil from buildasoil, maybe cut it with a little coco and castings, and you’re ready to go.

lots of different options and recipes.. how far down the rabbit hole do you want to go? do you really want to mix/ cook your own, or do you want to buy something ready to go?

either way, good luck, friend.. totally agree w/ watts4life also . well said

Both of the above answers are very correct and true. If you’re an experienced grower and can read your plants then go for it. Autos or photos same soil, amendments at different times. If you’re new or just new to autos use a good soil like Foxfarm Ocean Forest/Happy Frog alone or with good clean coco which is my choice. Use bottled organic and/or mineral nutrients.

Until you can read your plants don’t try to learn how to build a soil until you know why you’re putting something into the soil. It’s never a good idea to make two major changes or learn two major disciplines at once as you never know what worked and what didn’t and you will tinker. In soil using any amendments natural, organic or synthetic deficiencies and toxicities show up slowly and amending them once to recognize them with natural or organic amendments takes time sometimes too much time.

I just want you to be successful and that’s my take on it for what it’s worth. Happy Growing 🙂

No you’re right, let’s do it the dumbest way possible because it’s easier for you.
