Is there a reason for you mixing perlite with the promix?Thanks for your kind words! I'm kind of fighting with that finicky black dog but the 4 bubblegum are doing good, about three weeks left on them
When the perlite arrives on Christmas Eve I'm going to switch to just Promix & perlite, probably 70/30, and then the fun will begin cuz I've never used it!? LOL
..hope it works out cuz it's the way I'm going from here forward, aside from feeding more frequently I'm going to treat it like soil and see how that goes?!

No I've never used promix, I usually mix 25 or 30% perlite with everything, so? I've got a few days to read up on it thanks for bringing it to my attention!
It does look a bit different than the HP I just picked up.No I've never used promix, I usually mix 25 or 30% perlite with everything, so? I've got a few days to read up on it thanks for bringing it to my attention!
I've already got some running in veg now with this mixture at 25%, they seem to be fine but I will read up on it before I mix anymore up.
It's the basic promix (ap) that they sell up the street at Lowe's, seems to be very little perlite in it, looks like it needs itView attachment 923358

Edit: I got it at Home Depot, Lowe's at least around here sucks! It's closer but I just drive right past it now and up the highway to Home Depot to save myself the time and frustration of shopping there
..not for long!It does look a bit different than the HP I just picked up.

Sure beats the $40+ from the grow shop...not for long!
$14 /bale! Love the price but moreover I love the texture of it, it's my medium going forward!
I may top-dressing with some worm castings, maybe first week in bloom. Probably try it on one first see if it makes any difference?
The price is great, how can I not use it but even better I love the feel, the texture of it, it seems perfect for indoor use! No more ffofSure beats the $40+ from the grow shop.
Its $40 a bale here with taxes in, I never see it on sale or cheaper. The only way to get it for less is when they sell half bales for $25. I asked about a light one member here was using and she posted the Amazon.com link to it for $99. I looked here at Amazon .ca and the same light is $249. I'd buy 2 of them if I could at her price but I can't afford 1 of them here. Yea! free / not so free sub standered health care.Sure beats the $40+ from the grow shop.
Def b watching! I need to find new medium. I just couldn’t pay 25$ a bag for FFI know, it's a great price, but it will probably go up like everything else! plus it's not really $14 a bale because you have to add perlite into it, still a great deal tho
I'm just hoping I can figure out how to use it lol! shouldn't be too hard but it might take a run to figure out what it likes

Can only find it in a couple places down here, I’ve seen it as high as 22$ for the 1.5 bag! It’s crazy been contemplating buying online, just not used to paying for dirt! Lmao guess I need to get used to it .Wow. I just paid $16. But i do have to buy perlite too.

I have looked at local feed places but they aren’t like home( Michigan) everything shipped in from other countries they get $15 fir a bale of hay ! I have plenty of farmer friends that would gladly take 5.Have you checked local farm feed type stores or greenhouses may sell their own professional mix?
Also ace hardware will ship to store a good varietyof growing media from their website.
