for sure those are quality soils just man make sure u have the PH level from the get go and you should have a great grow .....i also suggest to start collecting rain water in huge tubs ,,,,,city water is no bueno.....distilled can get pricey towards the end if u water alot ......and nothing like mother nature huh?????....
I live in Texas so I couldn't get rain water, I have veg and flowering nutes called floranova but got not burn once before so always just used bottled water. I think I might try using them again but only 1/4 of tha recommend amount. Also I don't think my ph tester ( liquid test with orange and blue/ acid and base bottles) is very reliable? And I need a ph tester made for strictly soil right? I need more experience in watering my babies

I wouldn't be too concerned about bugs in the soil. If anything, there may be some fungus gnats and they are very easy to get rid of.
Any Miracle Grow products, especially their soils, aren't recommended. Most of their soil products contain slow release nutrients, which can play hell sometimes, and some also have water retention agents, again something that can make things difficult.
I think you should be fine with the Floranova nutes, started at 1/4 strength. You problem before was most likely the combination of the
OF soil and the nutes together that caused the overfeeding issue.
While having both liquid and soil pH meters is handy, you can get away with just a liquid one. I would highly recommend that you test your soil before you plant. has had some quality issues and we've seen some pH variations right out of the bag, with some having a low pH.
Regarding your water, while tap water isn't the best, it can be used. Just let it sit in an open container for 24 hours before use. Chlorine in the water can cause problem and by letting it sit, the chlorine will dissipate.

Hey Muddy ,....I aerate the water will it bubble out the chlorine as well as letting it vent by itself .....im assuming it would !!!1
