My first grow was unsuccessful. For the most part I had bad soil. I'm guessing because it had dark bark it turned the leaves dark? Any suggestions on what type of soil to use? I hear a lot about Fox Farm/Ocean Forest or Fox Farm/Happy Frog(it has added dolomitic lime for stable ph). Also, is it safe to assume your ph is good if you only test the water or would it be better to test the soil as well? I just want to grow the most healthy plants I can. ( I have mh 250 watt w/ 24,000 initial lumens, snow white from seed just below light, good temp at about 75 on and 65 off, distilled water with ph a little high at 6.9ish so I drop it with ph down to 6.5 but no way to test soil...only run off, and good vent in and out, square deep 1 gal containers that I may have to change if I can only get through a veg stage I have three new green seedlings I want to transplant to better soil. Is Fox Farm good soil?
