I've grown other plants in very sand soil. It's not a bad substrate for plants that like good drainage, like marijuana does. Only problem is you have to water more often and constantly supply nutrients. If you can add a bit of loam or bunches of compost/mulch the plants will fair better.

Edit: No need to add nutrients the first few weeks, the plant will probably do better in sand then rich soil. Nutrients burn young seedling roots.

I lived in Fla. for 1 year and dug a hole and put organic soil in it and mixed it up fairly well and grew a giant bagseed plant. did great with that mixture and all for not...... it was a fucking male! oh well, I guess you get my point about sand.

im probably going to get some soil to put around it, so some nutes go into the ground and so it stays a little bit more wet

yea im not adding any nutes till the third week, ive already had a plant that was like a month maybe a little older, but it was a male so i just pulled it, i put some rocks around it to so the sand can stay wet longer
