Thoughts on CannaTerra Professional Soil Mix?

[MasterOf Arts]

here is the link to the amazon page its on https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008MJXGOS/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza from what i can tell its alright only thing im unsure of is the N-P-K ratio and how long till i have to start feeding im assuming maybe a month but im just looking for some professional advice and mainly people who are/have used it

Never used it. I think its more of a soilless medium. If going that way look into Coco??

 

[Richard Drysift]

Has no NPK value. It's not soil it's a peat based grow medium designed for Canna brand nutrients. I guess the "real" professionals don't like growing in soil. It's pretty much the same as using a mix of coco and perlite.

wow okay will not buy that then and can you advise me on any decent pre mixed soil?

Any quality bagged organic soil will work. I started out with a combination of fox farm ocean forest and sunshine mix #4. FFOF is a bit stout for seedlings or even freshly rooted clones so either use a generic potting mix or starter soil or just cut down the OF with coco and perlite. Always add in some extra perlite and worm castings if you can.
Ok well if you are in the UK I can see why it's so hard to find a decent organic soil mix. When you search for it on Amazon your soilless mix comes up as top choice. Biobizz all mix looks decent; I would go with that if it's all you can find:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0...ganic+soil&dpPl=1&dpID=41BkX415jNL&ref=plSrch
Maybe also get the light mix for starting seeds or clones.
After your first harvest you can just keep recycling it over and over from there. Aquire some amendments and compost for recycling your soil in the meantime. If your plants need a boost brew up some compost tea and/or give a liquid fish and/or seaweed fertilizer. Water only as needed the rest of the time. No ph-adjusting or or bullshit flushing is required.

yeh im in uk im struggling to find a decent soil i think ill go for that i also have these if they are of any use?

 

[Richard Drysift]

Yes. Manure and compost. Add it to your mix. They both contain beneficial microbes; you just need a base soil to add it to. The manure is likely a good source of nitrogen as well. Usually adding a lot of compost and fertilizer makes your mix a bit too heavy so you'll probably want to add something like perlite or pumice for better drainage/aeration.
You could also just build yourself a soil mix by copying what is in that biobizz; ingredients & ratios are listed in the Amazon description. Only thing is if you do that you'll need to check the ph with a soil probe and adjust it as needed for proper absorbtion.

 

[MasterOf Arts]

okay so what ill do is order that bio soil then add the compost and manure and then ill buy perlite as i dont have the money to buy all the ingredients how much should i add of the manure and compost 1/4 cup? im gonna be using a 1L pot to start with

 

[Richard Drysift]

I don't know how many 1 L pots you need to fill but I would add maybe about 30% compost and 20% manure. It certainly doesn't need to be exact. I would get a tote bin or something with a lid and dump it all together at once. Then use it as you need it. One liter is pretty small so plan on transplanting to fresh mix often. Aquire what you can and add it to the bin as you get it. Biobizz contains perlite already so maybe you could get away without it for awhile. Depends upon how heavy the compost and manure is. Go light at first if you are unsure; small plants don't need much fertilizer. Plus biobizz is fertilized already. Less is more.

Hmmm I dunno, I put plants into it and see them veg out quite a lot without needing nutes added. Are you sure you are thinking of the right product?
