Look for Black Kow if they carry it. I used to get it at HD. It is great stuff done right. You'll need to ammend to lighten it up some and cut the NPK down but you can't go wrong with it. They used to make Black Hen back in the day, don't know if they still do or not but it was powerful stuff. Real pleasure to use.

If you want to go KISS- 50% pro-mix, 25% per perlite, 25% EWC. Fert as you please. You need to study a sticky at the top of this thread. Lots of reading help there. No bad advice.

my local garden store doesn't sell promix. is this brand any good.
Sta-Green 64-Quart Potting Soil they might have more brands in the walk in store than on line store.

A good and basic soil mix is the next one..
50% Tourbe
25% perlite
25% lombricompost

Peace

I used Stagreen many years ago along with Botanicare nutes,very good results.If I remember right it has some fert pellets in it.

I tried Sta-Green one time. Too much bark & wood in the bag.

pro mix is mostly spag. peat moss, perlite, dol. lime and a few other goodies. Search it and good with something similar. How do you intend to grow that's the main question. No one can tell you that make up your own mind. You will have to do a lot of studying before you pop that first seed. There's people here who do fine with miracle grow products. Only down side is taste. I grow just for myself, so I want it all. You know yield, taste, etc.

like it or not growing in science, botany and you need to learn it,teach yourself and when you know it gets fun until something goes wrong and it always will. good luck and learning!!!
