My lowes sells burpee coco bricks, mix those with the peat moss in the red bag thats already ph'd, throw in some perlite and lime, they sell bone meal and blood meal there also if you want the soil to feed. Then mix in a bag of bio-tone starter plug for bene bacteria and fungi and your all set, all from lowes.
SERIOUSLY! gnats, rocks, sticks, and time release fertilizer that lasts FOREVER.... awesome

hate to see others suffer, but glad i'm not alone! didn't know what a fungus gnat looked like until i bought MG mix. the plants did OK in it until the bugs showed up... dammit! got a buddy that uses nothing else on his autos though. adds no nutes, just waters every three days. it works for HIM...dont ask why, but i bought a bag of mg organic, last august. here in feb still battling more pests than i ever ever had in 18yrs. the soil is loong gone but the gift keeps giving.
The Sta-Green Tree/Shrub Planting Mix at Lowes is simple and effective. It's made of composted forest products, dolomite lime, and fertilizer balls. You can't get any simpler than that. The fact that each 2 cubic foot bag is only $7 is just an added bonus.
Add some fertilizers during flowering and you'll have buds the size of your forearm.

i love going to the nursery, but hate the hydro store...they are soo different. ya know?? as far as value/price
ive never reused my promix...am i missing something?? my shit looks spent!! but i hate hauling shit in and out...so how do you rinse it??
If your local store...keeps their soil bags outside, on a pallet?....be prepared for gnat eggs to hatch...
nearly all bags have those small holes in them
