Awesome but.. Shouldn't it be potting soil? I'm just wondering .. don't judge me if I'm wrong. I'm only growing one plant, maybe two soon.

Well on that site I can't find any organic potting soil that I know that has been used for growing with.

I get all my medium from lowes and what I get is some Organic Pro-Mix for the seedlings and starters and for the rest of my medium I use organic peat moss, perlite, and organic top. Mix them in a ratio of 1/1/2 and you'll be golden. From there you can either add a nute tea when you water or amend the soil with ferts when you transplant.

knowing what i know now i would have spent the thirty bucks on a good growing book and read it cover to cover before i started. but the thing is you did plant the seed now you're commited to taking care of it the best you can. one piece of advice...keep it simple...and buy that book when you get the cash.

I would say don't water it daily. I water mine only once every 5-7 days. You can get a moisture reader.. you just stick the end in the soil and it will show if it is dry, moist, or soaked on the dial. I only water mine once it says dry.

I started out with a couple of the recomended books and it really covers the basics and gets the grow of to a good start. Good soil helps you to get and keep a good watering schedule. I too water every 4/5 days, this is how long it takes for my soil to almost dry. Peace

I think your roots are just overwhelmed with moisture. That soil isn't going to breath enough to allow root growth, resulting in a stunted plant.
