Hey started a new grow (new place), but im not near anywhere i could get any decent soil. So i decided to make my own, got perlite(had to settle for the MG brand, will that be a problem?), peat moss, and a compost mix. Anything im missing or i should add?

I just started using biobizz organic soil mix £5.99 for 20l, contents of


All-Mix was developed especially to be the best potting soil for organic cultivation. It consists of 20% sphagnum peat moss, 35% garden peat, 10% high quality organic Worm-Humus , 30% perlite and 5% Pre-Mix.

Add some pelletized lime. It contains both magnesium and calcium, and helps keep your PH stabilized. One cup per bag of MG, is what I used to use, and it worked great.

I had to get some of that MG Perlite one time! I just soaked it real good and rinsed it out several times with fresh tap water!
