unfortunate it does not tell me much. LOL..

well we will find out.. :) ( guess we just pay attention to the plants needs and address them as necessary, than hoping the soil has X days of life. )

It says to begin fertilization after the second watering. Probably 2 weeks for pot

It's a fast draining professional medium designed for total nute control. You need general fertilizer. This is a big topic and is budget dependent. I use only Botanicare Pure Blend Pro grow which is likely being boycotted by many here as Scott's/ miracle Grow bought them. Same people relying on their jobs there as far as I know. It's in your state.

Anyway. That stuff is at hydro stores or online for 22 to 25 bucks a quart. I buy gallons so it is much cheaper.

But any decent nute made for a limed peat mix will work. Many use Jacks 20-20-20.

I don't know what's at Home Depot.

so its the treated perlite ( i think its treated it acts different than whats in the sunshine soil), and my over watering.. that caused the issue with the babys.

I don't know who started saying the mix was hot. It always looked like typical overwatering to me.

I tried that at first. Then mixed with ocean forest. But you are right. And fox farm says it's a budget friendly alternative.

I have been using ocean forest and perlite for 18 months with no problems at all.

I use it from seedling /clone to finish with no issues. Maybe some strains twist a leaf or two in the beginning. But they work it out and grow fine. In my experience anyway. I grow many sativa leaning phenos.

I think that you can just follow the directions on that kit and should get good results. Bit complicated way to do it for a vision challenged grower. ;-)

No. I only tried ocean forest instead of Pro mix because it is the only fresh indoor stocked soil on my little country town. It gets very expensive to drive for soil all the time from my location. And time consuming.

And I love the results. But it really needs 20-25% chunky perlite added in my room or I have transition issues. With the added drainage I love the organic base.

Any decent potting soil will work. I prefer to tailor the drainage to my room and transplant up through veg to make the best rootball they can.

Then I can flower in a 3 gallon pot for my short ceiling height and get great quality and yield in my space.

I'm sure roots is good too though. I just never tried it.
