promix hp, where to get it?

the local stores only carry promix bx, does anyone know of a store that carries "hp" in the metro detroit area?

SGS Livonia. 7 and Middlebelt. They have the bails of it for around $40. I was just up there earlier today and noticed them.

Hey hey growery. What colors are the bales? What is the difference between the bx and hp?

hydro masters on groesbeck and 15 promix bx or hp 3.8cu bags 2 for $60 or 4 for $100. thats where i get my hp. menards also crries it in the 1.5cu bags but its more costly there

hp is the high porousity. still got the myco's and more pearlite i believe orange and white packaging

dam you guys are helpful. thanks a bunch

glad, i'm just trying it out since i haven't used it before. from my understanding is that hp has more perlite and bx has more peat, i could be wrong.

That super store Menard's is carrying it - damn 11% off

FYI I found promix hp to be light - like FF ocean forest. I prefer Happy Frog, its heavier, holds moisture longer.

What area are you in? If youre near downriver Hydro grow in Taylor has it, I just saw it yesterday.

hard to beat 4 for $100 though. even if ya have to drive a ways

anyone got the hook up on some strait coco while where at it?

arent the 2cu ft orange/white bails at menards a better deal? (expandes to 4) @14bucks

well apparently the only difference between hp and bx is more perlite in hp. peat has nothing to do with it. hp costs more too. so, just add perlite to bx with your own perlite for cheaper. promix has a new mix called hp-cc which has coco coir in it. interested in trying it. anyone had experience with hp-cc?

same price at hydromasters. 2 for $60 or 4 for $100 hp or bx

hp-cc sounds like sunshine advanced mix #4

I use the #4. I get my bales from my local nursery. $35.00 for 3.8 cu. ft. They also have an organic #4 for $40.00. I have used both.
My problem is my local nursery closes in October for 6 mos. Last year I ran out in December and payed up the ass for FFOF until they re-opened in march.
this year I am buying two bales in the fall.
After reading this post, I am now going to inquire about some of the other products available. Not getting caught with my pants down this year.
HGK420, the #4 is peat and perlite, no coco.

the "advanced #4" is the one with the coco in it. the yellow bale. its the only one I've found that keeps my PH good to go.

I'm trying a batch out right now thats just coco and perlite. seems to be doing great. little cheaper too.
