hi guys

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

http://www.international.compo.com/en/consumer/blumenerde/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 .

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).

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 :D 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!

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

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.

If you are worry about seedlings just mix it with perlite or coco. It wont be a problem if you dont feed about 2 or 3 weeks depends on plant .And agrosil is really good stuff.

This is my opinion and i dont want to flame/bash anybody for sayin something that doesnt fit my opinion but in my experience:Hell keep of your hands from that stuff,especially from the universal brand from composana,if you want to use compo sana in every case,try the Veggie soil brand(dont know how its called exactly)of the compo sana line.With the veggie soil you should at least have some kind of organism frinedly nutes and not those cheap mineral/chemical stuff.

Sorry really no offense here,but i never laughed that hard.Forget about a micro herd and organic nutes.You will get plants that stay deep green and glosy troughout the end and taste like a chlorophyl bomb.I know deep green plants with waxy leaves may sound very good for some people but every serious grower knows that even a bit to much N is the biggest enemy of your own.
You can use it with BioBizz nutes as they arent really organic too...i know they say it is,but it isnt and thats a fact....theres no organic liquid fertilizer in the world that acts that fast....expect for fresh brewed guano tea but thats an whole other story....it is just impossible that Bio Bizz is organic....but it is good stuff....i used BB a few years back for a while and was impressed,definately one of the better canna related nute lines(needs to be said:NOTHING BEATS STRAIT ORGANICS,NOTHING!!)....So honestly go and look for something else....if you can find it look for "Garten-Profi" cheap and really good,this brand has an admendent thats called Xylit and i had the best results with this soil when it comes to bought soil brands but if you have the time and knowledge mix your own you will not regret it.

Hope i helped you more than i confused you...any questions just ask....best wishes!! GS
