Soil comes in many types and varieties. What you will find as you go along is that you will add various ingredients to your soil to improve plant growth.
The Cannabis plant will grow from pot seeds long and winding roots into the soil. These roots absorb water and other minerals from the soil to help it grow. The soil also goes through dry periods when you do not water your plant or when the plant has absorbed most of the water. During these dry periods air is allowed to creep in between the soil particles, allowing the roots to breathe.
There are 3 main factors to look at when buying soil. (1) pH, (2) Nutrients and (3) Structure.
pH:
pH is a way of measuring how much acid and alkaline is in the soil. The pH scale runs from 1 – 14. 7 is neutral, 0 is very acidic and 14 is very alkaline. Cannabis plants (cannabis seeds) in soil like a pH of 7. When choosing your soil you should be looking for a pH of 7. It should tell you this on the bag. Going above or below this mark can cause your plant problems during growth. Small pH meters can be bought in most gardening shops and can be used to measure the overall pH of your soil.
NUTRIENTS:
The three major nutrients that are found in soil are Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium or NPK for short. NPK can come in two forms – with the soil or as a stand-alone fertilizer (usually in a bottle). When you look at the bag you will see that the % of each part is stated. Such as 20:20:20. This means 20% N, 20% P, 20% K. The remaining 40% is just other elements that make-up the soil. In liquid it would usually be water. This ratio can change between different types of nutrient and soil brands so we need to understand what Cannabis .
STRUCTURE:
Try to find a soil that is not too moist. In other words try to find a soil that dries out well and does not hold water like mud. It should say on the packet whether the soil is a wet or dry one. Try to find a balance between the two. Wet soil will sometimes cause plant damage because your roots need air to breathe. Dry soil may also dry out too quickly and needs to be watered more often. Try to find a soil that is loose and feels fine but slightly heavy in your hands. Basically the soil structure is up to you. Do not buy anything that is hard and bulky or too soft and weightless. Medium Soft and heavy is what you want.
