I plan on transplanting the plants on friday which is only 5 days away.....I need a soil mixture...This is what i was thinking:

Also i can see the roots coming out of the hole i made for draining....should i transplant earier than my proposed date.

30% Premium Top Soil ( its the only soil i can find with no nutrients in it...)
maybe scotts or schultz or anything i can find at lows,hd, walmart, or taget.....All the potting soils had nuts for like 2 months to 9 months.....

30% candian peat moss

30% perlite

10% worm casting

some dolomatic lime for soil and peat moss..Ph levels

I plan on using alaskan fish fert for veg maybe with something else i just dont know what?

On another note...im really trying to find grow bags or square pots to utilite space the best...any suggestions would help.....i need them by friday

Like i said i hate going to the hydro shops around even though they are very close I REALLY HATE THEM....on that note....i also have tons of landscaping and nursuries around do you guys think they might stock a better soil mixture or my grow bags and pots

Also if you want to look at my log its:

Do not use top soil, and I really don't like peat moss. It doesn't get any better than this: 4 parts premium potting soil with one part perlite. So simple, so effective. Your plants will love you for it, and maybe even take you upstairs for a nightcap.

Thanks Opie Yutts..

I actually went with a compost mixture composed of
1:1:1.5


Black Gold compost: Organic Potting Mix: Perlite

Trying to find out how much lime to add to the mix I made 15 gallons i figure about 1/4 tsp. per gallon should be fine....im a newbie soil and especially organic grower so we will see.
