Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Sorry I haven't been around, my health isn't good and I've been busy with other stuff too.
@Oldbay yeah, Veg+Bloom Dirty. These plants in the last pic are in just Sunshine Advanced Mix #4. I'm starting with something else, based on a mix a grower friend of mine uses, it's 1:1:1, Sunshine Advanced Mix #4, Botanicare coco, and Growstones.
Only trouble is, they discontinued Growstones, so I'm recycling mine. My buddy said he just switched to #4 perlite and he uses FoxFarm Ocean Forest soil instead of the SAM#4, which I may try at some point.
Sorry, that was probably more confusing than helpful. If you want a good, all-around soil, probably the Ocean Forest would be great for you, or go with coco, but don't use anything but Botanicare if you do, anything else needs a lot of prep work before use. Coco is said to increase yields quite well.
Always be sure to keep your pH on point, if you're in soil, the sweet spot is 6.5.
Man, I'm baked and carrying on, I can be pretty long winded when I get going.
