Promix lovers... New HP/CC? What do you like? - Indoor Grows - Soil - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Speed Racer · 06-14-2014, 07:29 PM

I don't know how long the Promix HP/CC has been out(HP with Chunky Coir), but looks new. HP/CC mix looks slightly cheaper than BX or HP too. I am using the BX now and agree with one who said the BX seems better in warmer summer months and the HP in winter. Seems about right, but I want more oxygen and don't care to water more if better results and think the HP/CC might be right up my alley and premixed. My basic mix I am using now and very happy with is in my new hangin' out with speed thread. Always tweeking it and learning. Grateful for all the great info here. Anyone try this HP/CC yet? peace...

I use Pro Mix HP for my indoor grow and my plants love it. Haven't heard much about HP/CC but it sounds like you're on to something. I'm trying out an outdoor grow some I'm interested to here what everyone else thinks.

the hp/cc is amazing actually.. has more coco in it.. faster growth.. and u can use smaller pots for bigger plants then u would in the BX.. i really oonly been using bales of promix for years.. now.. and the hp/cc takes the cake.. if they dont have it . ill use HP.. ..

I'll have to check it out. I add about 25% more coco to the promix for increased yeilds right now. It would be nice if they did it for me.

Glad to hear your comments and plan to buy the hp/cc after my bx is gone and finish my smaller aerostones. I do like the larger hydroponic growstones in the bottom of the pot and very light and porous. Not sure about how reuseable yet. Used heavy rock before.
I don't grow much and thinking to start a very small bin of worms. I only use in my teas and only need a little. Tired of the dry processed stuff I buy though seems to work. Think I'll check out some worm threads and with the hp/cc and lil this and that I think all will be very nice. Nice to hear you say how it increases yield. Though may have to water more, a bigger yield is always better. Very cool. peace...

Bump...Anyone else using it?

Can you use Mykos with Promix? What's the difference between say, Promix and Fafard Professional Potting Soil?

Mikell · 11-10-2015, 06:02 PM

A lot of, if not all, Promix products are mixed with a dash of mycorrhizal spores (more a labelling gimmick).

Fafards is a ready to use potting soil as I recall, the Promix products discussed here are soilless.

Fafards I have used many times in the past. It is a good mix and an alternative to promix if you can't get it.

It is not potting soil. It is a soiless mix like promix, the only difference I see in the two are maybe promix has a bit more perlite.

The only downfall I see to comparing ProMix and Fafard is the Fafard has more pieces of sticks and chunks in it. Undesirable for my liking's.

Fafard Professional is a soil mixture I think since it says Peat Moss and Compost are in there?, I just checked.
