I just finished my white widow grow, simply the best Ive ever had, although I'm exploring more. It was my first grow as well, in soil, no nutes, 5 oz for two plants.. my tent was 2x4x5 with 2 p300 led grow lights, actually was using one with my white widows, now using two in same tent for my northern lights, and it will stay that way, much better coverage. It was a pretty forgiving plant for me, best of luck and happy growing, its easier then it looks or sounds, I never thought Id get to harvest, let alone have great smoke in the end. You'll be just fine I'm sure

I don't see what nutes you went with?
Given a decent nutrient, some elbow grease, and a lot of patience, you're gonna kill it!
Good luck and welcome!

I used 3 gallon fabric pots, I used KIND super soil as listed in this guide, for the other soil it was happy frog, but now trying fox farm soil. Basically having the KIND super soil at the bottom half of the pot and the happy frog soil on the top half of your pot the plant gets nutes from the regular soil in veg stage, then when you switch to flower stage your roots should be at the bottom of the pot getting the more nute rich super KIND soil. I think I might try using organic nutes this time around to see if it increases my bud size and yield, don't get me wrong I was happy with the 2.5 per plant, I started flowering when they got to a foot tall. 65 days from start of 12/12 cycle to harvest, veg time was about a month and a half or so

White Widow is a great strain. Have grown her 2x in coco coir.
I strongly suggest getting the Blue Lab pH tester. I used to use the liquid color tester BUT I don't consider it as accurate as the Blue Lab. Pricie yes but solves a lot of problems before they start. Well worth the price.
Have a fabulous time with your girls!

A potting mix with no added nutrients will work as long as it has a good consistency. It should be rich with no wood chips or bark. Usually something labeled an "organic potting mix" will do the job. You can get the Fox Farm Nutrient trio if you wanted to stick with Fox Farm
They have a really great nutrient system for soil. The Pure Blend soil 2-pack by Botanicare is another great choice if you want something more simple with just one bottle for the vegetative stage, and a different one for the flowering stage. If you want to get fully organic nutrients a lot of people swear by the General Organics Go Box. If you want to get the really expensive stuff, everyone at my hydro store is a big fan of the House and Garden lineup.I know it's a long shot, but is it possible to post the name of the soil you were thinking about buying? Or maybe take a picture of all the options you have?

That's lucky! I haven't tried it, but I know several growers who have and swear by it. In fact I think Sirius is planning on using them for his next grow!

I would go with the second one ("Potting Soil"). It seems okay especially if you're in California because it doesn't mention bark (it's odd they have different formulations for different states). You should try to look at the soil itself if possible, since the texture of the soil is so important.
You want soil that looks like this, it should be dark, but almost fluffy, without obvious wood chips. That 2nd mix is promising because it also has "perlite" in it, which are little white rocks that cannabis likes because it improves the drainage of the soil (you can see them in the pic below). Hopefully that second mix looks like this:
