Depends, what are you putting in it. For clones ide use a 1/2 Pearlite 1/2 Vermiculite mix. Im not to sure about already rooted plants though.

It will be for the final containter they are going in.. They say weed should be in a airy soil, how AIRY? I think I will go 1/2 soil 1/2 perlite or 1/2 soil 1/4 perlite 1/4 vermiculite

Im pretty sure the correct ratio is 3 parts soil, 2 parts perlite, 1 part vermiculite. It should have directions on the bag tho, mine did. You definately want more perlite than vermic.
