That was a great read, @SilentHippie. I am looking at this product. I tend to research the shit out of everything before purchasing. Great advice and timeline on your journal as well!!

:joy::joy::joy: - The more I can learn, the better all will be… Given my lack of experience, my questions are rather broad :slight_smile:

I use fafard “ultra outdoor planting mix” it’s rich in organics, sterilized, and not treated with fertilizer, which is a must when using a highly soluble plant food, mixing fertilizers unknowingly via treated potting soil can be disastrous!

I also modify by 25% perlite for drainage because I’m using highly soluble plant food (I mix my own).

Here’s a photo with a plant being fed grow food in the fafard 75/25 .

Why perlite and not vermiculite? I grow on a hillside/slope and the perlite see it floating away after a heavy rain.

Perhaps its because one absorbs and retains water and the other is not absorbent at all…why it floats away. It is just a voluminous filler meant to help with drainage.

If I were you I would start with soil. Why complicate things before you even learn the basics? Also I think less is more. I like Roots Organics Lush. A little pricey but feeds and feeds without nutes. Also soil grown weed tastes better to me. Ffof is great as well.
