hi guys

is there anyone that used composana universal soil ? is it verey good quality soil compost and it is prefertilized. is it good ?

https://www.international.compo.com/e...composana.html

High quality universal potting soil. Its special combination of root activator AGROSIL®, quality peat and PERLITE volcanic stones forms a favorable basis for the healthy growth of all kinds of plants. The added slow release fertilizer - with all main and micro nutrients - provides balanced plant nutrition for approximately 4 - 6 weeks.

i have no many options where i live in

there is 2 options:

1) soilless mix : 80% sphagnum peat moss and 20%perlite

2) compo sana universal potting soil

i will also use biobizz organic nutes such as grow,bloom,topmax,root juice .

what is ur opinions ?

which compost should i chose ?

thanks my friends

mandala seeds recommends compo universal on their site..so should be good stuff just cant find any here

thanks mate i read mandalaseeds' soil guide.but i am scared to overfertilize because that soil is prefertilized.

hi!

I use campo Sana, a lot of friends use it also and I can tell you the soil is simply great!

However, it's too much pré-fertilized and on the first weeks they will show some overfert signs. I recommend you to mixture some vermiculite and/or perlite.

In 3,5L pots with clones, 12/12 after rooting, they won't need any more fertilizer (depending on the strain, of course).

cheers

Hi!
me too used composana soil in the past, with very good result, i prefer it to to other brand of soil 'couse is a bit less rich of nutes than many other soil (expacially dutch ones, i don't like them).
as Keimado told a good % of perlite/vermiculite will help a lot. usually i use 30% perlite and use clay pebbles in the bottoms of the pots. just my 2 cents have a nice time

I would composana raid higher than a lot of soils made especially for growing! Perhaps they become better during the last years, but composana always was better than, most grower soils and no mites in it!

Just my 2 Cents! I had to bring back lots of soil in the 90ies! I was working with a big growing distributor and we had much much probs with the Canna and BioBizz soils! But thats 10 years ago, so perhaps things have changed!

Cheers

after too many bad experiences with other brands, this is THE ONLY SOIL i would let my outdoor plants to put it's roots in. the only negative point the i've found is that over time it suffers a bit from compactation so maybe adding some coco coir would imprrove it a bit

How did you feed with this soil??

Gibt es hier niemanden?

guys that soil is really good,i know but it has too much fertillizer and salt!

Raw materials: peat bog (decomposition level: H2 - H7), perlite, NPK fertilizer,
Phosphate with silicon (AGROSIL ®), carbonic acid lime.
Ph: 5.0-6.5
Salt (KCl) in g / l: <3.0 g / l
Available (soluble) nutrients:
200 - 450 mg / l (CaCl2)
200 - 500 mg / l P2O5 phosphate (CAL)
300 - 500 mg / l mg / l K2O potassium oxide (CAL)
Organic matter (expressed as LOI): 85%

i will use biobizz organic nutes and this will cause probably overfertilizing.
or as you said,i should mix with perlite @ 50% ..

in stead of Compo ,i think i should try pure coco.
