Sunshine mix 4 vs promix

Little late now...already transplanted...but I get it...I'll just watch my feedings...I didnt see the silver bag available

That's not really gonna help. It has slow release nutrients in it that will mess up your plant for flowering stage. Simply put your plant will get the wrong things at the wrong time if left in that.

Its not much...the width of the cap around the pot...you can see the separation from old to new...its been abt a week n they seem happy so far...

Too much nitrogen during flowering maybe?
Hopefully wont phase em too much bc I'm not pulling em out...
Bigger plants didnt get any they were already in 7gallon smart pots

Speaking of Prominx...I just transplanted plants into this....1st time ever using anything different for years...I ran outta soil and the greenhouse I normally purchase from is closed for winter...I normally use Fafard #3

Is this Promix decent?View attachment 4818894

Nothing wrong with this soil,Its probably a light mix since it says good for seedlings.

I live in Canada if that helps. And also what is your chosen technique to combat the gnats. I red up to use playground sand top half inch or so. ? Any feed back bob

a light topical soil sprinkle of diamateous earth beats the shiite outta fungus gnats. yellow sticky pads helps slow them as well as monitor their demise as well .

How long in this till I have to start feeding own nutes ? In fox farm now and it was just water for first 3-4 weeks And do I have to ph going in or does it buffer ?

if you're talking about promix hp w/mycorrhizae , soon as possible [ not any or very little nutrients added ].i test my water/nutes going in to 6.2ph to 6.8ph always regardless .

Can u give me an approx number of weeks with a 5 gallon ?

i've always went by the ol' 1 gallon per month of time in planter , ie.-2 months veg + 3 months flower = 5 gallons soil.
