Do you just use straight up promix with no amendments? I found a local Southern States with pallets of 3.8 cf bales of the BX for $28 each this season which I believe is super cheap.
We get a bale of hp with myco for $25cad. They have new bag design this year. I add coir and more perlite to mine.

Where do you source your rice hulls from smidge?
It's easier to get in bulk in my neck of the woods than perlite and greener being that Arkansas' rice paddies are in the NE part of the state and a 2-3 hour drive from my part of KY. All the nurseries/horticultural supply places in my area carry 7 cubic ft compressed bales stacked all around on pallets for $18 each, vs $22 for 4 cubic ft of Sunshine coarse perlite which may or may not be in stock.

I really dig that Sunshine brand chunky perlite, but man the rice hulls don't float to the top and seem to hold moisture longer for me and I will be fully transitioned indoors at the end of my current grow. If you can source it easier or similar to perlite I'd recommend it.

BTW, aloe and loose, desert soil loving plants that I've transitioned to the hulls so far seem to love a 50/25/25 mix of hulls/peat or some other humus/EWC or compost and it makes it easy to soak the shit out of them without worrying about water log. Good shit!

Yeah, I make my own soiless medium for my indoor runs with peat, rice hulls and EWC for my base and amend from there. Just curious if Getaway amends or uses straight promix himself.
I use straight pro mix and give them what they need when they need it when feeding and nothing more got lots a friends that add all kinds of stuff to pro mix and they don't get the results I do so it works for me and that's all I care about way to much stuff in the market place as additives ill stick to the basic needs and let mother nature do the rest just my method of madness
