Soil: How should I mix or How do you mix?
What ingredients at what ratio do you mix your soil?
I'm a month into my first grow. I bought better soil for my second grow already so I have it on hand when the time comes. I also want to take a few clones from each plant.
Using what I have what ratio should I mix this for putting fresh cut clones into?
What ratio should I mix for transplanting vegging clones into?
Should the ratio even differ between these two?
With my plants being between 2 weeks and 1 month old should I mix this soil and transplant them into it or will transplanting them now be bad? Their currently in MG Organic potting mix with about 1/4 cup Bone/Blood meal per pot now.
Materials
-Vermiculite
-Sphagnum Peat Moss (0.05-0.02-0.04)
-Jungle Growth potting mix (0.22-0.12-0.12)
-Bone & Blood Meal (6-7-0)
How much of each should I use to mix my new soil?
-The Jungle Growth mix claims to contain ~60% composted aged processed pine bark, water absorbing crystals, peat moss, vermiculite, perlite, charcoal ash, time release fert and trace elements and minerals (what kinds IDK). Im not sure how much moss, vermiculite or perlite it has in it but its seems to be little.

it doesnt matter how you mix your soil, just the more perlite/verm. the better man drainage it has man those will be some fire plants just mix in like 4-5 handfuls of peat moss and a bunch of vermiculite as much as you wanna use its truly up to you man... and that potting soil is decent but if you're in veg right now dont add bone meal right now thats for flowering... or is that blood meal? well anyways excess P in veg state isnt really needed... i'd suggest making 2 mixes... one w/ blood meal and one with blood meal and the one thats for flowering you'd wanna use a little less peat moss but thats just my 2 cents man...

Thanks. Im kinda screwed on the Blood & Bone meal though, it came in one bag. Guess I just wont put very much in.

Well, everyone does it differently. Some get guano and nutes and put it into the soil firsthand and some add it over the weeks with a soilless mix.
I use a soil that has a very low nute content.. just enough for sprouts to stay strong. I mix in 30-50% perlite generally so it has great drainage.
