Dude...look around...pick a soil recipe and run with it. I recomend subcools methods or soma's methods. how many plants are you gonna grow....this will dictate your shopping list for soil ammendments. Subcool has his recipe everywhere....if ya need it broken into smaller batches I have that also. You can make it for as little as 100 bucks.......now go shopping. When ya get the stuff togather and have questions there is a giant thread on his soil recipe.
