I have been looking for a forum for asking questions. I will be trying my first grow next year. I will be buying all that I need piece-meal till then as I'm on $750/mo disability. I'm leaning heavily towards Coast of Maine but need advice from experienced growers. I'm old and in poor health,, and don't have time for trolls. FB groups are useless, as are YouTube channels. I need to ask questions and get answers. Is this that place?

Im not a soil grower my friend. Foxfarm would be my choice IF i ever went back or an organic living soil.

I am going to erect a small 3 plant greenhouse. Using 20 gal pots buried in the ground and a swamp cooler with a dehumidifier.

There's the problem in a nutshell. I asked a very simple, straight forward question, what organic soil should I use for a outdoor greenhouse grow using 20 gal pots. I got a ream of reading material and vids that is far more then I asked for and would only confuse me. Let's keep it simple and one question at a time.

Just very very frustrated. Been asking questions and getting no replies for 3 yrs.
@BilldoG 
It sounds like Fox Farms Ocean Forest to me
well almost...your paying almost 10 bucks a cubic foot for that, my FFOF is only $36.99 for 3 cubic feet, and makes a great base for LOS... but the Coast of Maine soil does sound good 
I would recommend a sativa, or some strain suitable for extreme heat
I was like that when I started 
so I used Miracle Grow and CFLs for indoor growing 
ahh, worked well for awhile, but the gnats were horrendous 
so I went to organic, worked much better, but I wanted to try it all 
so I tried hydro next, I hated it, way too much work for this old retired fart ...so 15 years goes by and I'm in FFOF and I use their trio nutrient line, and I don't have to PH anything, just like organic and my plants grow themselves I'm indoors was going to get a tunnel and try my hand at outdoor but then I'd have to do a bud washing, and that sounds like work, although some people swear by it

The cost of soil isn't an issue really as it's only a three plant grow. O do need Indica tho, maybe Bubba Kush for sleep and relaxation. I suffer anxiety and have a heart condition and Sativas alway aggregate them both. Plus I have to hide it behind a 6' fence, so no 8' Sativa. Besides I really like a strong narcotic effect of a powerful Indica. It will have intense desert sunlight, but cooled inside the little 3 plant greenhouse. I even have to bury the 20 gal pots so the plants can't be seen. I have to cover my greenhouse in chain link to keep people from stealing it. It's already happened twice.

Welcome bill. I use soil, my current grow is with ‘nectar for the gods’ and it’s going great. I haven’t used coast of Maine but I’d love to hear if you decide to use it.

I’m new here also and I’ve been treated kindly. I would say we have both chosen a great, friendly and helpful place with a very knowledgeable group of growers. I also plan to grow my plants outside after I get them started. I’m also in a very arid and dry place so I will make sure to tag along on your journey. If you don’t mind sir. Best wishes!!

Ty, I'll keep that in mind. My grow isn't until next year. I just had a lot of hospital time this year and couldn't get started in time. So this is all about next yrs grow. I'll be posting about it and asking questions when the time comes.
