Best Pot Soil?

HowHigh? · Feb 7, 2009

First post on here but I am uber noob at growing attempted a couple of times with a normal lamp and a pot lol.

umm ok then...

well personally im using atm 25% perlite,25 worm castings, 50% potting mix, and a lil vermiculite....

Promix, simply the best. Other than custom.

Fox Farm Ocean Forest is all I have ever used for indoor growing. For outdoor, just top dress with generic top soil from a garden center, about 2' deep. You can also try a brand of soil called Sunshine, its great as well.

I use 50% Promix and 50% Perlite Sometimes I add a little of this

promix is the king...........

Fox farm hands down....get the fox farm family nutrients & add 20% of what the chart says & you will have some bomb.

i would go with the promix,,if they dont have it foxfarm,,,nothing else,,i guess sunshine mix is good
Zzzz

fox farm is pretty strong if your going to transplant from something else. make sure you FLUSH WELL after putting your plants in it. but other than that it has been working good for me.

No soil, try Coco coir.

i was thinking of using that next time... you just add nutes from the start?

floydfanx6 · Feb 8, 2009

if you are going to use promix soil,which is the best i suggest adding 20% perlite to improve drainage,and add a few good heaping of earth worm castings as well

billyblunt · Feb 8, 2009

promix schmoo mix, just use any potting mix that is light and fluffy,and doesnt contain large chunks of bark or any bark for that matter....

thats if u plane on using perlite,worm castings,vermiculite,peat moss....as additives to the soil

Its best to give it a good flush first before you start your nutes.

floydfanx6 · Feb 9, 2009

i dont think theres a point to flush yr soil,,if its good soil like promix theres no need before nutes theres nothing in the soil no nutes no salts ect..

Sorry I was reffering to Nvirgo's question about Coco coir.

I sound like a dumbass but whats flushing? Do you mean water?

billyblunt · Feb 10, 2009

well you run a heap or ph corrected water threw ur growing medium,ull till the runoff is clear,it just gets rid of the salts and fertilizaer build in the pot

another question i was germinating my seeds in a cup of water. well they white root begin to show but i decided to leave them in there a few more days. the roots have now grown to about 1/8 of an inch. But all the seeds have seem to ben cocooned together in some kind of clear membrane looking thing is this good or is this bad too see?

you leave the seeds in there long enough they'll get moldy and rot away
