MEDIA & NUTRIENT RECOMMENDATIONS
MEDIA
Once you have determined whether you will be growing in soil, a soilless medium or hydroponically, you will need to buy the appropriate media. I personally love super soil, and generate my own whenever I have the chance. Although this can be time consuming and requires a lot of advanced planning. To make your own super soil, watch the video by clicking here, and follow the directions. There are pre-made super soils out there, such as Kind Soil, which I would recommend for anyone wishing to grow as organically as possible. I would still recommend you watch the super soil video and pay attention to the tips in order to learn how to care for your plants using nutrient rich soil. Otherwise, Fox Farm high nutrient potting soil is also a great option for growers. Click the links below to check out their Amazon listings.

NUTRIENTS
Many growers will argue certain nutrient brands have higher yields than others, though in my experience I have found that the most important thing is that you are using nutrients at all. It is more important that you learn how to properly feed your plants - being careful not to over or underfeed them - than it is ensuring you have the best brand on the market. I would recommend you use General Hydroponics nutrients, or if you are trying to stay organic in your grow, General Organics. Click the links below to check out the Amazon listing for these products.
