alright , i have a big bag of Agro Mix Professional High Proformance Growing Medium with Perlite - Vermiculite and i was just woundering if i had to mix anything with it befor i put my plants in it? or do i just mix it up with water and im good to go?
 
how much perlite is in the mix? should have about 1/3 perlite.
how long are u gonna grow it?

if over 2 months i would add about 1/3 wormcastings
 
well i was hopeing to keep it in the soil till its done? , and im not sure how much perlite is in it , ill take a picture of the bag
 
Until its done is a rather large variable. Growing indoors our outdoors? If indoors thats all under your control. If not it depends on your climate and flowering time required for the strain you're growing. As far as perlite goes, rather than taking a picture of the bag hoping we'll be able to guess or know how much perlite is in it...It would be easier to just read and inform us if it says how much is in it at all. I'm not familiar with that soil so I couldn't say, though I've used soil before without it and it was just fine. Its not a necessity though a nice additive nonetheless.
 
well im growing indoor , and it doesnt say how much perlite is in it , i was just woundering if it would be good enuff to keep my plants in it till they are done , cuz i got ALOT of this soil and i dont really wanna have to go out an buy some more of different stuff , even know i got 2 bags of that stuff for free , i just want somthin i can keep my plants in so i dont have to transplant , cuz i just transplanted my plants into that soil cuz my plants started to stretch and started falling over , they were in rockwhool and hydroton rocks, they look 100% healthy besides the stretching and i just hate having to take them out an put them in and then have to do it over again , but i guess thats what you have to go through
 
With that soil I assume you will be adding some type of fertilizer during the grow. And in that case I highly recommend you add some lime to stabilize the PH. Here's a lesson on soil chemistry from the good folks at WSU. http://www.ncw.wsu.edu/treefruit/soil/lime.htm
you can get lime at home depot or any place like that. For the amount to use, go by the instructions on the particular lime you get. Hope that helps ya.
