    Default Help! Soil Mix Type.

    Hi guys,

    Comparing my plants with the ones I see in this forum, I found mine "very" small.

    My main problem is that I could find only one type of soil mix in my region. And I want to make sure that this soil is good enough to grow big ones, and if nuts are not enough, what nuts should I add and when to add them?

    I attached a file of soil description.

    Thanks a lot.

    P.S. Currently I mix 20% Perlite with 80% of this soil, is that correct, or there is no need for Perlite at all?

    Unfortunately, this is the only soil available, I live in a very restricted regoin and not all stuff are available.
    Can I add any nuts to make it better?

    to make that mix better you need to make your own compost and you need worm castings is the no way you could order some decent soil online and get it delivered other than that you could try growing hydro id say thats your best option

    Forgive me, this is my 1st time grow, how do I make my own compost, and what is "worm casting"?
    Ordering some decent soil online at the moment is v. hard.
    Besides I didn't grow hydro cuz I couldn't obtain jiffy's or rockwool, can I do it hydro via this soil?

    no you couldn't go hydro from your soil making your own compost and worm castings will take time months so they wont help you just now
    rockwool is easy to obtain were you live up everest lol

    if you are having trouble getting decent soil i imagine you will have trouble getting additives as well.
    the hydro route may well be your best option.you can make a bubbler [dwc] bucket to grow in very easily ,clay balls,bucket,air pump,ec and ph meter and you are good to go.
    there should be a guide in the hydro section .
    another option if you can get perlite is a hempy bucket with just perlite.
