Have you considered a Hempy Bucket with Pearlite and/or Turface as the medium? I've had pretty good luck with it and I have 4 brown thumbs. Only reason I'm growing is I cant find nobody to sell me some which is worth a flip. I think that deal about current dope being stronger than what was available in the 60's-70's is a bunch of hooey. If there is some good strong dope out there somewhere in the world I can't find it.

i would try either coco or a soilless mix because most use coco in soilless mixes. The reason i say go with something with coco in it because coco gives a ton of room for roots and is very controllable IMO. I have use fox farm ocean forest and that was awesome but im liking this soiless mix better. A good soiless mix is pro-mix. it is also cheaper then Foxfarm.

Its basically, and dont quote me, but i think its the coco hairs/fibers from cocnuts. Its very light and leaves a ton of room for roots. Its very cheap. You use it like soil in containers. I would give it a try.

Also someone above mentioned Hempy buckets which are a cheap way to do hydro. Bassically you get a bucket, drill a hole 2 inches from the bottom. Fill it with a mix of perlite and vermaculite, and then you fill the bottom with water so below the hole is water.

so basically what ur saying is that coco is just a soiless mix that I can use from start to finish. dont have to add anything to it but nutes. also would I be able to use the fox farm products that I already have tiger bloom and big grow?

yea its a soiless mix as well. Treat it like your using soil. Youll be fine with those nutes altho i would recommend getting big bloom, and the 3 micro nutes, Beastie Bloomz, cha ching, and open seasame. I used those nutes once and i had great results. Be careful the micro nutes are strong!
