What kind of soil do you guys use? My local grow store sells , the dank, soil but it’s like 45 dollars a bag but it’s awesome and the plant love it, so was wondering if I should just stay with it or if something cheaper would still do the job just as good.

Pro-Mix HP or BX is what I use inside which are commercial soil-less
mixes for the trade
what your grow store sells has a pretty picture and may or may not true soil
as in living
I bought 3.8 cu ft bales of Pro-Mix HP a few weeks ago they were 54 dollars
if you like real soil inside learn to build your own and recycle it if you
it can get spendy buying bags soil all the time
if you are a cash cropper it is just a cost of doing business 
buy it by the pallet
all the best and be safe

not a bad soil and the price you show is good also 
I have thought about building soil over the Summer to bring inside for
use
I have been building soil in my outside gardens since 1996 as I have have a mix
of hard pan, rock and clay here
when I started in the greenhouses back in 1982 we would make all our soil to
fill pots to grow in soil-less was just starting to get in
the growers back then all made their own soil which for a greenhouse is a lot of work
mixing all the required elements to build it
after that putting all it in a steam bed to pasteurize it, I worked for a grower that
bought soil from a farmer to make soil for Tulips for Easter it was full of round up or
what weed killer they used and stunted 90 thousand Tulip pots with 3 to 5
bulbs each
we were using Pro-Mix that spring after that
in the end you cannot really beat a truly well made soil as it has everything your
plants need to grow strong
all the best and be well
