read man READ! It is all here for the taking...
search option is a good start

It is very important to find the right kind of soil-based medium.....
The best flowering soils should be amended with bone meal and gypsum.....
Some people don't like bone meal for certain ethical reasons, but if you have access to bone meal i say it is a great thing.......gypsum is great too.....
Other good amendments that promote flowering are Kelp and Greensand......these boost the potassium (K) a bit......
The main thing is, you have to get lots and lots of Perlite.....this is basically puffed-up mica that is light like a popped popcorn......use 30% Perlite in your soil-based medium to ensure proper drainage.....
You can shop at your local big box store, such as the Home Despot, or if you have a local gardening store near you that is always an option too......
If you choose to fertigate, i suggest finding a bottle of "Sweet & Heavy" Blooming formula from the Sugar Peak company......it is designed for organic hydroponics, but it works awesome in soil-based mediums as well....
Happy searching!!!!
