I would get some Fox Farms Happy Frog soil personally. Do you have a pH meter? TDS/EC meter? Do you know what you will do about nutrients?

I would try and find a local grow shop. It’s always way over priced online. Bag is like, 20 bucks at a local shop. I recommend Apera PH20 for pH and Apera EC20 for EC/TDS.

Do you mean like Garden Center I live in Virginia where we just are getting legalization we don’t have any actual Grow shops here yet. Also I understand pH but don’t have a clue what EC TDs is
Use the dealer locator to find fox farms products near you

Not every location sells soil, they may sell nutrients, but if you put your zip code in I bet something will come up

EC (Electrical Conductivity) is used to measure the TDS (Total Dissolved Solids, how much stuff is in the water, nutrients for instance) of a solution.
PPM (Parts Per Million) meters use a predetermined value that is multiplied by the EC of the solution to give you the TDS.
PPM = EC multiplied by a predetermined value which depends on what standard they follow. So PPM meters give you different results. Hence it makes more sense to get an EC meter, then you can do all the PPM readings.

I got my ff from Amazon
I just checked Amazon for Fox Farms Happy Frog soil. They charge $42 for one bag, $72 for two 2 cubic foot bags. I just bought some from my local grow shop and it was less then $19 out the door.

I bought Happy Frog last month for the first time and had a feeling that $11.95 per 2 cubic foot bag was a good price so I ended up getting 11 bags, when I thought I would only need 7.
I’m glad I did because my new game plan requires 10 bags after adding 10 qt’s of perlite per bag.
I get my supplies at a local grow shop.
