Hey guys need a little help here

I will be starting with the auto flower dwarf seeds

after researching all the nutrients , i think i will be going with the

Bio grow , bio bloom and top max( if i need to add anything please let me know :) )

but i need help with the soil, (gunna think im dumb after )

but i dont get the soil, seems like everyone has a mixtures of different stuff to use

can someone suggest something REALLY simple..

i read about the ff ocean soil n that u should mix it with ff light warriors
there is so much stuff on the internet its hard to choose from, i dont understand if i need to mix this with something else or just use this by its self

can some brave person please let me know a soil i can use or or a simple mixtures.. i was gunna go with promix which was recommended from a friend but please let know whats best and easiest to use..

I dont get all the ingredients in the soil so something simple maybe organic ... i udnno im lost


any suggestion would be good, soil , lights , nutrients , anything
( i will mention i am using a grew tent and 200 watt cfl, which im thinking of adding another one)

Cheers!!

Everything you said would work well. Just depends on if you want your nutes in the soil or want to have control over them. Anything peat or coco base that drains well and is slightly acidic would be optimal. I personally use Roots Organics soil, just really easy to use. Transplant into it and wait for slight deficiencies while just feeding water and molasses. Then feed after aprox. 2 weeks or less.

Im just coming to the end of my first auto grow and the soil i went with was bio-bizz all mix.....it has nutes init and also perlite so its ready to go, i found that they dont need nutes for a good 2/3 weeks, so makes things simple, and from there on out i went with big bud nutes them flipped to a boost. good luck.

I was the same when it came to choosing my soil for the autos, and like any plant at a young age they like to be left alone!! so the joys with the bio-bizz is its all in there for your young ones until wk3 :) and yes they nutes will be just fine but remember 1/4 nutes for the first dose and increase on demand.
My girls are Nirvana auto bubblelicious mmmmmm. will be pulling in the next 14days :)

I use Fox Farms Ocean Forest with a little extra perlite added and I love it to pieces...you can get Roots Organic as it has enough perlite to start with, but I have never started plants in the Roots, I just used it for a transplant..it doesn't have anywhere near the amount of nutes that the Fox Farms does though. So, it might be easier on seedlings, but I have started seeds, and even taken clones straight into FFOF with good results...as long as you don't overwater it isn't too hot for anything...the nutes are released when you water...so don't over do it

I am by no means a pro! But i have had a successful Auto grow of Dinafems critical + I grew my girl in FFOF at around 80% and 20% perlite./ FFOF is packed with organic nutes and for a auto im not sure if you need to add nutes. . . just my opinion if i use nutes its around quarter strength and thats only during flowering :-)
