perlite. lots of perliteatleast a 30% perlite mix

if i were you i'd just pick up a simple bottle of pure blend pro grow, and bloom.... and a bloom stimulator.. say greenfuse bloom stim or biobizz bloom stim...maybe top max, and 1 more thing.. liquid karma is worth it's weight in gold

i'd say tr to leave the bone and blood meal out of the mix... but.. i am by far no expert.

pick up some wormcastings and or compost as well, they really add a special touch to the soil. whats the npk on your guano??

i never use perlite in my Fox farm, seems to have plenty, and its a really LOOMY soil so roots do great in it

but i dont know if its different for outdoors, i saw this guy grow a plant in a TRASH Can outdoors, The plant grew over 16 feet. HUGE!!!!!!

I'd say wormcastings and Liquid Karma or kelp.....Also, consider the rainfall in your area before adding/leaving out the perlite....If it's dry in your area, you don't want to put a lot of drainage in the mix....LC

sweet thanks for the replies, Ive alrdy got a big bag of perlite i forgot to mention, the guano is 10.3.1 npk, why do I wanna leave bone and blood meal out? these plants are goin in the ground with just the soil and Driwater I'll only be able to visit them once a month would liquid fertz be good for that far period apart of waterings? thanks for the help

if you can get a hold of Mexican bat guano for high N fert, and some Indonisia bat guano for flowering high in P. And maybe something else for the K like sulfate of potash (takes 2 months to break down). Then you wouldn't have to deal with cow parts and stuff from bone meal and Blood meal. I notice with out a doubt everytime i use blood meal. I get Nats, everywhere. Drives me nuts. I rather go guano vs blood bone meal. imho

How much are you using aloot

? well I only use a little Blood & Bone AT THE BOTTOM of the mix.Of course if you just plop the stuff right on top of the dirt your gonna get insects lol

If you're going to visit the plants once a month, you better keep the longterm ferts in the mix....Don't use liquid ferts....Use, bone, bloodmeal, kelp meal, and greensand....LC
