Man, I did this before and was horribly disappointed. It was 2016 when I did it, so they might have figured out some stuff by now but I bought the Modern mix 2.0 with oly mnt fish compost. I had it soil tested and it was low in micronutrients and phosphorus was excessively high and it turned out that the compost that I made tested out better. Unless they addressed excessive phosphorus and micronutrient deficiency, it's not worth it. Most of that is peatmoss and pumice anyways, buy their nutrient kit and compost to mix with some promix or something. I bought a whole pallet of soil and still had problems...

Its a 4x4 tent with a homemade fabric pot. I think its 150 gallons or more. Ever since I switched to organics I wanted a big indoor soil bed. Finally moved and got one! I keep the soil perfectly watered with Blumats and light with 48 EB Gen 2 strips hung 4 ft high. I only plan on grow a plant or two at a time and leaving the rest for herbs, etc. I only grow personally so I'm more concerned with quality, not quantity. My previous pot size was 35 gallons, worked beautifully. Microbe man did a test previously and found you need a significant soil mass to properly run no till. His minimum recommended pot size was 35 gallon I believe.

I'm planning to start a thread hopefully soon so you can see pics.
