Hello Uncle Ben,I have a question for ya. I am not in a position to mix my own soils so I was wondering if you could recommend a premixed soil, Thus far I have just been using promix 4 with perolite mixed in. I really would like to move from the soil less to the sol mix. I finally found a garden nursery that sells the jacks classic. If I remember right you use the Jacks Classic all the way through? Do you use any other of the JP line? I think I saw that you like the "citrus feed"?
Also, how do you feel about LED lighting. I am quite capable of making my own light systems, but was wondering what you thought was on the whole thing. Well I would like to thank you for any help. Peace brother.
5 parts pine bark fines (partially composted fines are best)
