Guest Meat_Loaf Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Bru fork out the cash and get proper decent soil. Some superior german peat, Perlite some organic compost some potting soil and yeah thats even better than what your wanting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420SA Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I've read that a great mix to start with for beginners is one part good quality potting soil, one part worm castings and some perlite for aeration and better drainage. That's it! You won't get the best results but you probably won't be disappointed either. Maybe add mushroom compost to the mix as well What brand potting soil does PNP sell?

Venom Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Spend the money and buy decent soil. I started with that picknpay stuff and it's full of unnecessary crap. Buy decent soil from a gardening place. In most cases, the more you spend, the better the soil. I now use a German mix. I add worm castings, perlite, vermiculite, Turbo Grow, and even some Leca. What you don't want is to spend R50 on soil, and the grow fails. Spend the R150-R250 and make a rich soil that produces a decent crop.

Green Leaf Organics Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 @420SA Yip that's the mix I always tell beginners to use 1 part cleaned potting soil 1 part worm castings 1 part coco 1 part perlite Let it cook for 2 weeks and feed with biobizz , as a beginner you can't go wrong with it.
