Thats what I did, but once a friend told me if I needed some soil I could just get it from an oak tree would that work for it to grow? I would report a third and final time with a better soil like Foxfarm or Coast of Maine, would that be advisable?

Not sure on the peel but I know egg shell takes ages to break down for use so might work for the harvest after
And you know about baking them first mate?

Just put the egg shells in the oven around 150 for 10 minutes to kill off any salmonella, (I think it's that bug anyways)
I've powdered it up before for a couple of runs in pots and can't say I've noticed much difference but a mate who grows veggies puts the egg shell in his plots months before he plants a thing but he's got a dirty great compost heap Stinking his place out

Cannabis likes good compost that is slightly acidic. Outside soil carries pathogens, it could be too high or low ph, may not have enough nutrients. I could create quite a long list of why not to use outside soil, especially for seedlings. I personally grow organically and am very fussy with my soil, but as a beginner a shop bought descent potting compost will be fine. Try to get as simple a soil as possible, you dont want slow release fertilisers or wetting agents etc. Hope this helps. Happy growing.

Egg shells even when powdered take a very long time to break down enough to be available for your plants. Plants get the majority of calcium and magnesium from water if you use tap water ( always neutralise Chloramine/ chlorine . Ecothrive neutralise Is a great product) if using ro or mineral water you will need a calmag supplement. Side note: The only thing I use eggshells for in my outside garden is to stop slugs.
