judging by what forum this is is I assume he isn't going to need lights. But I'm glad you mentioned PH and lime.
do u need nutes for outdoor? oh yea my bad i just go to new post n clicked in without checking forum categoriesjudging by what forum this is is I assume he isn't going to need lights. But I'm glad you mentioned PH and lime.
If you have a very clay-ey soil your ph is gonna be pretty high probably like 8 or 9 and you want it just below 6. you can get a really inexpensive (5$) ph meter at any store that carries garden supplies, but if you dont get one it really isnt a big deal. get some lime and spread a couple handfuls across your plot and work it into the soil. Check it with the ph meter to get it around 5.5-5.8 and that will solve that problem.
As far as your budget goes how many are you planning to grow? seeds are expensive to order but IMO the best way to go if you can't get clones, although on occasion bagseed turns out okay.
When buying soil additives the very most you should need to spend would be around 150 bucks and thats if you buy a few bags of real good expensive soil. If not, the nutrients necessary should keep you under the 200$ budget.
oh absolutely, ALL plants use and need nutrients to grow. Yes a plant will grow if you dig a hole and toss it in, but the closer you pay attention to the specific nutritional needs of the plant the more healthy they will be. You can go buy nutes but a nice hefty compost pile with a variety of materials in it will get you many of the same nutrients people like to buy from stores. If it is written on a label people like to trust it to be a good product which isn't always true, as nature is where the plants come from and that is where the best nutrients for them are. Not to say store bought shit wont get similar results, but make sure you at least use ALL ORGANIC PRODUCTS for the love of God and the plant!
..but out of curosity how much $$$ u think it would cost for 50 plants, I'm talking soil??anyways 
If you go for cheap soil (walmart has some miracle grow bags for gardens thats 50 pounds for 5 dollars) you mix it 50/50 with the native soil and each bag with get you 3 plants minimum, if your doing 1x1' holes 25 dollars will be more than enough.I think I may hale in soil, I'm buying. Single seeds...probably 2 of each $5-8 a piece
I'm looking at big bang, blue widow , and the church...
I was going to make a large patch & sell now I'm going w/ 6 plants to smoke on all year
Lime? Were doi buy this??
I assume your growing outside, blood meal often attracts animals. I would not use animal produces outside for that reason. Red soil tends to need lots of lime. If I where gardening outside (which I do vegetables) I would take a soil sample to my agriculture extension office, tell them your going to raise tomatoes. For $10 you have a professional analysis of your soil knowing just what you need.
lime brings ph up not down and soil ph should be 6.5-6.8 not 5.5-5.8 the range you stated was for hydro grows not soil check your facts before you give advice. and check your facts before you use advice. to bring his ph down he could use peat moss and he will need sand and perlite for drainage reasons. a good high quality potting soil will be needed though Fox farms products are highly recommended, also roots organic and pro mix are other good ones.judging by what forum this is is I assume he isn't going to need lights.

Im in central michigan and i have sandy clay soil that is very acidic so im not sure if your clay will be alkaline but i would have it tested for sure like someone else here mentioned just tell them your trying to grow tomatoes and corn. and that you need to know what to add to your soil and in what quantities and you'll have it perfect if your able to do what they say.
