Well, don't change your plans on account of your nutrients.. buy your nutrients according to your plans... I'm just saying that 'The Shitz' is a great organic fert that comes in both VEG and Bloom formula's. It's simply more ideal for being amended into the ground because it lacks minor trace elements. The directions are directly on the bags.. you can mix it with water, sprinkle it on the topsoil and let the gravity/water pull in it.. and or pre-amend it into the soil.

I've heard really good things about Sunshine#4 it's about the same ratio of vermiculite/perlite and peat as Pro-mix Bx.

Being in Pots outside is not a bad way to grow... it gives you the availability of moving the plants around if need be. In the ground, you're a bit more...stationary.
