Going to be growing tropical landraces, mostly Mexican ones.

Is this an OK mix? It's what I use in my no-till grow, but I want to run 3 gallon pots, so I can easily move any males I get.

Not sure if running in 3 gallons will make a difference).

Growing outdoors in southern california.

Base Mix (1/1/1)
10 gallons Malibu's Bu's Blend
10 gallons Canadian Sphagnum Peet moss
10 gallons Pumice (or Lava Rock, or Perlite)

Amendments (4 cups = 0.95 Liters) (1 cup = 0.24L)
4 Cups Kelp Meal
4 Cups Crab/Crustacean Meal
4 Cups Malted Barley Powder
2 Cups Gypsum
4-6 Cups Basalt (1.42 Liters)
6-8 Cups Activated Biochar (1.9 Liters)

(I know there's no neem, I left it out on purpose, I try to grow without it. Worked fine on my 30 gallon no-till grows this past year).
