It safe to estimate 10 dry liters will only fill one 3 gallon pot with change leftover. I have a bad feeling about putting wood fibers in my mix.

Yep I agree fully! Go to your local nursery and buy some organic soil - cheaper than most hydro/grow shops.

Peace out

grab yourself a big bag of mircale grow and the trio pack of fox farm nutrients.....give the soil about 1-2months before you use the nutes since mg products are already heavily fertilzed which can fry young plants. if you start of with good genetics and good light you will have highgrade as long as my process is followed ; )
