Well I would Suggest Fox Farms Organic soil Ocean forrest works very well. And the Nutes I would suggest Advenced Nuterients sensi grow and bloom A&B this is for both flower and and veg For $60 on Amazon. You can get the Foxfarms oceanForrest for a 12 qt bag runs $15 or a 1.5 CU Ft for $37 on amazon. And remember when it comes to seeds the cheepest are not the best route to take. Remember to pick a strain that matches edge on growing. looking forward to seeing picts of your grow Journal.

Dont think Bunnings carries any of those. But I would start with tomato seedling potting mix from Bunnings about $7 for a 15 litre bag. For watering when the plants a little mature just use nitrosol, $12 a litre. Grown some outdoor beauties with that combination.

Just go to a local hydro store and pick up niksmix, looking around $25 a bag for 40L

I’ve found that tomato nutes work good in veg.
I’m just experimenting with what to use during flower because I haven’t bought any of the fancy stuff for flowering yet. I have a list of stuff i will be getting when I get the chance though.
The strains that go good here really depend on if you are growing indoor or outdoor? I’m growing chronic, AK47XCheese and Granddaddy purple. But they’re indoor I’m waiting for August-September to start my outdoor grow.

Hi there, did you mix this soil with perlite for your auto flowers? Trying to find the best soil for auto flowers is a bit of a mission

Hi mate the manutec hydroponic solutions are good I use the "green one says leafy greens and herbs" all way through veg can be strong so slowly introduce before giving it full dose but vigorous results across multiple cultivars and there's multiple other blends i use the red npk for tomatoes and vegies when flipping in fllower as 1/4 lower nitrogen and potassium raised to equal nitrogen then further in flower sowly add more potash bloom booster ( purple manutec bottle) to mix to raise potassium and phosphorus further in flower then last 2 weeks of nutes just use bloom booster manutec hydroponics solution with no nitrogen in mix then flush as desired and any premium soil mix that has the least amount of slow release nutes usually 3-4months is lowest ( usually burns through that with veg and havnt had any issues with excess nitrogen in flower but aslong as not 6 month or 12 month slow release fertiliser I stay away from them. So 3 bottles all up and my cal mag is 2.5kg bag dolomite lime last me multiple grows light sprinkle every few weeks as a top dress as bottled solutions have all the macro and micro nutrients needed but I run mine hard so needs a boost every now and then but have had awesome results and 1l bottles cost around 17$ each so say 50 for all 3 and I'm on second grow with these bottles and still abit over half full and last grow was 7 plants so goes along way.

Green Nitro Plus for leafs and herbs
N 8.0 P 1.6 K 3.0 Ca 3.4 + trace elements
Red N.K. Plus For Fruit and Veg
N 6.0 P 1.2 K 6.0 Ca 1.8 + trace elements
Purple Liquid Potash + Booster for Fruits and Blooms
P 2.0 K 14.0 as a supplement booster towards the end
I also use a buffer of growth technology liquid phosphorus as those arnt ideal phosphorus values with these nutes towards end stages of bloom although I only add a few drops to 2l solution and I have had plenty of successful grow without the added phosphorus I just make mixes of the solution to bump numbers up slightly but usually only do that with the liquid potash so I don't raise nitrogen higher than I vegged it at, I know not ideal and people will say do this but it works for me and honestly I like experimenting myself find out if I can tweak things between grows. Hope this helped anyway cheers
