What is the best soil I can get from lowes or home depot while I wait for my fox farm ?
Seed starter mixes are probably your best bet. They donāt tend to have a whole lot of nutes.
Stay away from any Scottās product like Miracle Grow. Cannabis and MG donāt get along very well. Any product that says āfeeds for x monthsā should be avoided.

You may consider 3gal. would most likely be plenty of room unless you do a long veg. So would save on medium fox farm is kinda pricey i know

Kinda pricey but worth it. I make decent money at my job so I donāt mind spending a little extra.

Use the Fox Farms dealer locator to find a local store that carries soil. Ordering soil to be shipped will cost easily 2-3 times as much as you can buy it for locally.

Any local retailer that sells fox farms soil will have many other choices of growing medium as well. The only way to find out what they have to offer is to take a short road trip.

Fabric pots is a great choice. I use 5 gallon with autos an 7 gallon for photos indoor grow. Some people use 3 gallon for auto but I fell like if you got the space fill it up.

I would see if you can get roots original for equal or less effort. Cost should be similar to fox farms, the roots is just a little more consistent and doesnāt compact as easily. In all should be more friendly experience for most.

Is there a way u can cut the bottom of the pot without harming the roots too much cut off bottom and fill another pot with soil and set that pot in another pot where the roots will grow thru the bottom into the new soil. It might be of help I have seen it done with fab pots might help ya out without doing a complete transplant just expanding the home she is in basically. Sux to ruin a pot to do it but if it saves the plant what a couple dollar pot lol. Good luck
