noob question
i need to repot my plants, at the moment they are just in normal peat!
i just ordered some decent stuff 20% peat moss, 35% garden peat,10% worm humos,30%perlite and 5%pre-mix
should i just repot em?
or do i completly remove the crap soil?
i know i should have used decent peat to start but that was all i had to hand
thanks

just repot/double pot them
if you completly remove the crap soil you have a huge chance at really hurting them if you damage the roots

just get a bigger pot, prolly double the current size your in, fill the bottom of the new pot with the new medium mix and create a hole with your hand. Place the plant with the current medium in the hole, then fill-in the holes with extra medium, dont forget to water and then place under the lights.

first, start over there ... NEVER use peatmoss or peatmoss products ... did I say NEVER ? ...yes, NEVER ... peat is too acidic, and will cause you problems down the road ... get yourself a good potting soil that does NOT contain peatmoss ... oh yeah, NEVER :smokin:

if you do use peat + perlite again in the future just be sure to mix in some fine dolomite lime with the soil
