Hey people, i am new here. Was googling stuff about miracle grow and came accross this forum. It looks pretty damn usefull so im here for some help if possible :)

I have grown twice before once when i was about 14 so you can imagine i messed it up pretty bad lol, Once again recently about a year ago or so except i bought some soil from my loyal hardware store
(B&Q in england). Which turned out to be some kind of rainforest floor deposit soil or some confusing stuff. Either way it or something else managed to kill 10/10 of my White Rhino seeds.

I was kind of annoyed, they all germinated fine but once planted every single one had the little white sprout turn brownish and shrivel up into nothing. The only two that worked were 2 random bag seeds i found.

I had them in a fairly open attick room and things didnt go great, got about half oz. But they somehow fertalized so i had to cut early.

I am going to try again so i want some good advice about which soil and some other things.

-- I have a 250watt hps ( i think hps lol) which is running fine, And i have a fan. I want some new soil and a friend of mine suggested Miracle Grow Soil bags, although he was referring to a bag of soil designed to simply put the plant straight into. I cannot find them anywhere online. So do they exist? If not what type of MG could anyone suggest?

Im very worried about getting the soil wrong again lol. As for space i am using a 1.5metre diametre room to grow in but have no idea quite how to run drainage? Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for any help.

most growers on here use fox farms soil. if you do use mg soil the mg with time released nutes can burn your plants ver fast. so becareful. if your growing in soil what do you need dranige for? the way to tell if you do have a hps light is turn it on if it has a yeloow hue its hps if its very white its mh. there is a very good soil mix look for subcool's soil mix. in the organic secotion.https://www.rollitup.org/subcools-old-school-organics/44686-subcools-super-soil.html
the best sorce of infomation on this site is the grow faq. i sagest reading it more then once. because there is so much info there.

Ok thanks allot man, I will go take a look. I think the light is a MH in that case. Do you think in a smallish space of 1.5 metres growing only about 4 plants that i could downsize my light and use cheaper to run lights?

Because cost is a major crisis for me. And i know VERY little about all of this.
