Soil Question

My local hydro shop carries Pro-Mix bx, just wondering if this is a decent soil for start to finish from seed to harvest. and at $23 bucks for a 60litre bag i hope its good shit, let me know

I've heard good things but never used it myself, if you can get ahold of an ingredients list{and ratios of each as that is just as important} that should be able to tell you. The Roots Organics potting soil I know first hand to be good if the shop carries that. Its about the same price for a 1.5cf bag. Which if my facts serve me as well as I hope, is 7.5 gallons of soil. You could mix it with a lower priced soil and still have a fairly decent mix or buy the cheap stuff and ammend it well enough to equal a high quality soil.

This is the description I could find.



Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss (75-85 % / vol.)

Macronutrients

Perlite — horticultural grade

Micronutrients

Vermiculite

Wetting Agent
Dolomitic & Calcitic Limestone (pH adjuster)

Bricktop.....you are always very informative and come across as very intelligent and witty. It is nice to have someone like you around. I see people arguing with other "mr. ganja's" but never with you.. +rep

Some people argue … but when they do I just say; "I've got no time for grassers. Feed 'em to the pigs, Errol." That normally handles things nicely.

your avatar makes you seem all business haha. kinda makes you seem scary too
love bricktop in that movie though. another character similar to that genious is in one of the lethal weapon movies. (i think maybe 2) that scene where the yellow haired swede comes in and that one cop is hanging upside down. "im a cop you know" "no you were a cop once" then he shoots him.

I paid $60 for a bag of FF ocean forest. (canada) I think it was worth it, germed in under 24 hours with no paper towel or any other tricks.

Pro mix isn't bad, but if your in the US buy foxfarm.

no im in canada and cant find foxfarm i figure the pro mix will be suffecient, any idea's on the ph of it ?
