People only need others to give them sound advice, thats the most beneficial for their plants. Making your own mixes should be left to more experienced growers. Theres a lot of things that could go wrong with a homemade mix. All i'm saying is that people should go for a good premade mix with a ph buffer if they don't want problems later. This is fact, not preferance. Sorry I insulted you but lets keep it cool here. I feel an uncotrollable outburst of anger about to come out:rant: which isn't cool here. Peace.

yup, yer right... no need for anger.. but last time i checked, 2:2:1:1 aint exactly quantam physics

I agree BBP that homeade mixes are best for my experienced growers. But, I have to agree with 420 in the aspect that its all about PREFERENCE. And I can understand where he is coming from, because I HATE when people tell people to shy away from MG soil. Don't blame MG for nute burn, because someone is too trigger happy with adding Nitrogen. It's not something thats worth arguing over though. Everyone do what works best for them.

exactly... like i say, i know the soil mix is THE most important part of your rootball.. im not saying use straight peat moss or anything.. the peat moss is simply an AMENDMENT.. an add on.. a lil extra for happy roots ive had these plants in 5 gallon buckets for two weeks almost, and roots are already poking through all the holes... i can even slide it out of the bucket when its a bit dryer and its already an established rootball.. i know for sure that premade soil mixtures are good, in fact way more important than peat.. but when you add the bulk peat and blend it really nice, you can just feel how much more light the soil is.. when i was like 15, i used to use just straight potting mix with no amendments.. the plants did okay, but compaction is just imminent with potting soil/compost.. ive been using this mix for the past two years and its been like a break through (for me at least.. like mentioned before its all in the persons preferences) ive been able to attain plants of massive size and much better yeilds, and overall way healthier, just by switching to this mix.. i have pictures i took yesterday, and im trying to figger out how to upload em and post em.. but BBP, like i said a couple posts ago, i am in no way, shape, or form trying to challenge or discredit you.. im just sayin, different strokes for different folks
