what kind of soil for growbox?NEWBIE HERE.

[ktm250]

I had a homemade growbox before with 250watt mh and hps(flowering)lights.The soil i had was potting mix which i noticed drains really well but the soil dried out too quickly also the plants took ages to get tall enough to flower.What is the best soil or soil mix for me to use in a growbox as i cant use garden soil as i live near the ocean and everywhere where i live is sand.

use 70% coco peat and 30% perlite

i agree with tyrantz 70% coco (canna coco being my personal preference) and 30% perlite (Hydro Grade) is a great mix. also what temps are getting Eg: lights on, lights off, canopy level? how are you feeding them? Eg: recirculating system, run to waste?
