Can the same living soil be used for multiple grows (freedom farm premium classic soil)? If so, how do I prepare it for the next grow? Are there any special organic amendments that I need to add before the next grow? Or can I just pop in the next seedling and use the biobizz nutrients to grow the next plant?

Interesting opinions... Gotta weigh up the pros and cons I suppose...

@zairek Thanks for that bit of information cos I thought black buckets were better...

@TheUltimateNoob @GGG Thanks for clearing that up for me...

@TheUltimateNoob When using organic nutrients, do I add these to the water and then do the dechlorination or do I dechlorinate the water first and then add the organic nutrients??

From what I understood, the pH pen is essential if you are not going to use "living soil". With living soil, it is not necessary to pH the water because the living organisms in the living soil regulates the soil pH. The living soil buffers the pH and keeps it at an ideal level for your plant. You just need to water your plant with dechlorinated tap water. This can be accomplished by leaving the tap water in a container for 1-2 days...

@afternoon blazer Hey bru, Thank you so much for all your advice will definitely check them out

@afternoon blazer @Prom Hey guys, Thanks for the advice - much appreciated I will take everything I learnt from everyone into consideration for my next growing attempt I just need to find a good store that stocks what I need and then I'm set...

@afternoon blazer Thanks for the info... However, are all of those nutes really necessary to have a good grow, taking into consideration the top quality living soil being used??

@Fridgedoor Thanks for the info - notes taken...

@Prom Thanks for the input. I'm starting to get a way forward for my grow. Which BioBizz nutes would you recommend from the range they have?? And when you say to keep an eye on the outside temperature, what should I be looking out for??

Hey, thanks for providing clarity on the mediums. Seems to me like the living soil is the way to go... Is freedom farm premium classic soil a good living soil to use? What kind of nutes and/or additives would you suggest to enhance the living soil??

@SkunkPharm Thanks for the response Personally with my limited growing experience, I feel like mixing my own soil and setting up an irrigation system will be like punching out of my weight class However this is something I will keep in mind for future grows...

@TheUltimateNoob Thanks for the great advice - much appreciated Sorry, but I'm quite dof when it comes to the medium and nutes. What is the difference between organic soil and living soil? Are they the same?? When you mention amendments, salt and organic nutes what exactly do they mean??

Thanks for this great platform

Sup bru... Thanks

Thanks bru looking forward to it...

With Spring around the corner, I need some advice on planning my grow to get the best possible results. My limitations are that I will be growing Outdoors, in a Pot, under the Sun. So this is where I need your advice and guidance: Pots: 20 litre paint bucket with drainage holes, Air pot or Fabric pot? Medium: regular Potting soil, or something more specific for cannabis (please suggest brands)? Does the type of soil matter if I'm gonna use nutes? Nutrients: Been looking around and came across Nutriplex, EasyHydroGrow (EHG), BioBizz, General Hydroponics (GHE)... Any suggestions??? pH testing Kit/pH meter Pen/ pH Up&Down: Is this necessary? Any and all advice/guidance will be greatly appreciated...

Shots bru

@StickyD420 Thanks for the confidence boost bru - much appreciated... Still require some advice and guidance so I can do better. Will work my way around this site and will post again soon...

So, my grows so far: Container: 20 litre paint bucket (with drainage holes) Medium: Potting soil (the cheapest available) Lighting: the Sun Nutrients: Nitrosoil and Seagro plant food that I had lying around (nothing special) First grow was Cream Cookies Auto Second grow was Blue Dream bag seed

Thanks bru As for my growing style, I'll have to call it " bare minimum" Potplant, Outdoor in the Sun is what I've done so far... Will post some pics of my results soon.

Thanks fam I'm from JHB - Eastside...

Got it
