Opinions on this soil please?
Hi everyone
I'm in Holland so not able to acess the soils you folks prefer and as the growshops here only open during normal working hours its tricky getting hold of good soil. So we've been poking about in the local garden shops that are open later and they appear to stock only potting mix for houseplants - and have high levels of added fertilizer.
I wanted to have something light on the nutes so that I can just add them in myself when necessary.
There is however a seed and cutting mix that seems to be light on the nutes and I wondered if it would be ok to use.
This is printed on the bag. Rough translation from Dutch:
Florentus (brand name) 40 litre
Seed and cutting soil
Mix of garden peat, white peat, sand (not sure if this is literally sand), and fertilizer base of calcium, magnesium, organic matter.
EC - 150 uS/cm
NKP 10-3-31 0.5kg/m3
Dry matter: 25%
Organic matter: 18%
It looks and feels like a light free draining mix that is quite different to the heavier potting mix I'm using at the moment (mixed with perlite). It burnt severly our little White widow's. The next kids are going to be indica dominant Kandahar so hopefully not so nute delicate.
Anyone have any thoughts or advice on the seed and cutting mix?rattlingdags Reviewed by rattlingdags on . Opinions on this soil please?
