has anyone used this potting soil before
It gets 3 out of 5 stars but when you read the 1 star reviews it seems like there is kind of a lot of negativity on it. Seems like most love it or hate it. Personally I have had crappy luck with the cheapest brands of potting soil the Sta-Green Lowes brand is absolute crap. So is the Kellogg brand at Home depot. The cheapest one I have used with descent results is the yellow bag Miracle Grow however that ones not organic but cannabis does grows good in it. Obviously the Fox Farm is good thats the standard for most growers but I stopped using that cuz my simple homemade Home Depot recipe was getting the same results not much difference at all and when you break it down by cubic foot its way cheaper. It all really depends on a persons needs if you are only doing a handful of small to medium indoor plants at a time then mixing in bulk is probably not necessary just buy bags. Once you finally break down and start mixing your own soil the way I would recommend doing it is blend a huge pile and then I shovel it into a plastic trash can and put it on the side of my house. Then anytime I need soil I have a huge supply I just walk to the side of the house and use a hand shovel to fill up my fabric pots. Right now I actually have 3 trash cans full I had 6 at one time but I recycled and threw away 3 cans within the last few seasons. I have been growi do you worry about bringing in bugs from outside ?

Yes please don't spend $35 a bag there is no way its worth that. I can get it for around $9 a bag and in my opinion its still worth it for me to make my own soil blend.i just saw it and thought i would ask . i am not sure what i will use next time i cant get any promix around here this time of year or i would use it . i would hate to use fox farm i can get some around here but it cost about the same as ordering online around 35 for 1.5 cubic feet
No I don't worry about bugs cuz I put a plastic snap top lid on the trash can to keep bugs out of the soil.do you worry about bugs from outside
im using pro mix now and i like it i just cant get anymore until next springFor organic soil growing; https://www.aurorainnovations.com/lush
If you plan on using bottled nutes, almost any soil will work. Promix is a good choice.
Mix about 10% coco in if you're using bottled
Yeah, just rinse it good and spread in the sun to dry. That will also kill anything that shouldn't be there.wouldnt i have to wash the soil out ? get rid of all the salts and nutes that are in it from this grow
And that is the reason you never feed bottled nutes in an organic grow. They need to be flushed and flushing destroys organics.wouldnt i have to wash the soil out ? get rid of all the salts and nutes that are in it from this grow
Is pro mix premium moisture control organic soil ? I onlg got it becquse it was cheap but i really like it so farAnd that is the reason you never feed bottled nutes in an organic grow. They need to be flushed and flushing destroys organics.
