I bought this Scotts premium mix, and my plants are all yellow, crispy and kind of droopy. I did feed them a tiny amount of nutrients, but the yellowing has not gone away, and its been a while since I fed them. The nutes were triple 20, and I did about 1/10 strength dose. This was like 1.5 weeks ago.

Here is a pic of the soil:

You can see its NPK ratio. Just wondering if it seems okay to use? It says slow release fertilizer up to 6 months, but to start feeding after 1 month. It also says it contains sphagnum peat.

I can't find any fox farm, or anything good around here it seems. If this soil isn't good for cannabis, can you please recomend something I can get in Canada at like HD, Lowes, etc...

Blazeoneup's recipe. Everything is available at home depot.

he soil mix consist of 1 bag of mriacle grow organic + 1 bag of pro mix + 1 cup blood meal + 1 cup bone meal + 1/2 cup dolimite lime + 10-20% added chunky perlite. Im running 3 gallon bags btw this mix will fill 10 3 gallon bags.

When I run this soil mix I use plain water from day 1 all the way thru harvest.

Everything I have heard has said to stay away from mixes, get the stuff that specifically states potting soil. I'm no expert, but I think it has to do with the time release nutes. If you can find soil with a PH just slightly acidic (6.5-6.8ish) that is best, and personally I would avoid stuff that says it feeds the plants for a certain time. I'd rather add my own nutrients and have a better idea of what exactly they are getting.
