Hi, i am using soiless mix for the first time but there is a couple things i am concerned with. The guy at the hydro shop told me this premier pro-mix biofungicide. green label, is a good soiless mix to use. My problem is, after reading on the internet it seems i have to mix a bunch of different stuff for this, is that true? I am using fox farm nutrients. Also, everything i read says get things that you use should be good for fruit bearing plants, but this package says that its good for fruit bearing seedlings for transplant, does this mean i cant use it for the full growth? I noticed in the pro-mix pamplet, that there is a kind that is purple label and it says good for vegatable, fruit and tobacco, should this be the one i got? The guy at the hydro shop said this is the best one, but he only had orange label and this one. I just need to know because i dont want to transplant after this. I want to put my clones right into 5 gallon buckets. Please let me know everyone, anything you can tell me about pro mix would be very much appreciated. Thank you everyone, and happy growing.
 
I use SunShine Mix #4 but have a grower friend that uses ProMix, your fine ProMix is good and actually MJ can be grown in just about anything but your wrong to start clones in a 5 gallon bucket unless you have a lot of gardening experience
 
If you haven't bought this soil mix, ask if the have sunshine #4. As the poster above stated, this is a good soil-less mix. I'm not sure about the pro mix, but most loil mixes have a seedling mix and a planting mix. The seedling mix is usually finer texture. With Sunshine #4 you can do the whole grow from seedling or clone from transplant to flower with only a complete balanced fertilizer, including micro elements. Use the higher nitrogen formulas for pre-flowering and a low nitrogen, high phosphorous formula for flowering.

If you have already bought your soil mix, you are probably good for this grow with only the fertilizers. A lot of the soil mixes on the net include amendments for nutrients to be added to the soil because they are organic grows and the nutrients are not as fast acting as water soluble fertilizers so they need to be added at planting time.
