Re: Soil mix ideas.
Royal queen have just bought out a pellet they "claim" will feed a plant for 10 weeks in soil. Vertafort I think they are called. If it works could be brilliant for autos in a basic soil like verve.

I'm very much enjoy all of this soil talk btw
Any other amendments people make for different stages
@Rodger is your batmix a raw guano or a pre mix soil
@Aspie would you say your ratio of 1 tablespoon per 5l is close to my 1 teaspoon to 1l... it's the same in my head
@All Has anyone had any experience with adding seaweed to soil?

Re: Soil mix ideas.
Some offered me "full cycle" soil at 40 quid for a 25l bag. I laughed and said I'd stick with my 7 quid for 125l blendKeeno wrote:Royal queen have just bought out a pellet they "claim" will feed a plant for 10 weeks in soil. Vertafort I think they are called.

I can normally get around 7 weeks out of my verve and bat-special in 15 ltr pots with autos.

Re: Soil mix ideas.
Thanks for the incredibly kind words by the way. I'm really glad your enjoying the diaryohlordyeah_420 wrote:So GMO's excellent diary with his guide on how he mixes his soil got me thinking about soil mix (specifically mine!) and what is a good idea to put in there.
I'm new to this growing hobby so thought I'd chuck in what I have learnt during the couple of months since I've started: biobizz all mix is too hot for seedlings and will burn the tips but they pretty much grow out of this.
For my seedlings I use verve seedling soil and some perlite.
When I pot up I was planning on using a 1/3 organic compost, 1/3 biobizz all mix (still got 50l of the stuff to use) and a 1/3 worm castings. With some extra perlite thrown in.
Does this sound OK?
I'll be using plagron guano eventually and canna bio line of nutes and some plant magic calmag if needed.
Any other soil ideas out there?
