Just look up your local nursery for a good peated pail of soil with vermaculite and perlite mixed in. I would get atleast 80% peat. Coco fiber is good to mix in aswell for about 10% or so. It has calcium, and growth hormones such as zeaton. As far as nutes go all I can say is organic. um um good:)
One love

Sounds liek a good set up... and i did the same with the fans, but i used a Play Station 2 fan and ran it off a 9 volt battery

Bet that worked Great...

I don't know how easy it is to find elsewhere, but I have nothing but good to say about " Kellogg's AMEND " ... use it straight out of the bag, maybe add a bit of vermiculite if desired, not necessary ... outstanding for tomatoes, too ... :thumbsup: ... :smokin:

i used bog standard potting peat and perlite a 50/50 mix of them both per pot and the results speak for them selfs i post a few pics for all to see
cheers this forum rocks :)

Peat is not a renewable source. Check out Coir. It is some great stuff.
First link is for the soilless and second 2 are an article about coco.
