A custom mix I use. It's ROLS in a sense. I reuse it 6 cycles and then it goes into the garden/compost.
I don't use rocks, I use chunky perlite and I also have fabric pots.
since your using fabric pots. try skipping the perlite next time. more soil food and space for roots, instead of pricey perlite/clay pepples. i thought about doing that too awhile back. but found too many cons and not really any benefits when using fabric pots or any pots in my opinion when i was researching. but if thats what you do, i wouldnt say its a con in my book. you do nice work!
I've done it many times without it. That's how I started
I want roots to go everywhere. Even on top. I don't care if roots go up,down,sideways, circles, roots are roots and the more happy roots you have the happier plants you have. It's what has allowed me to pull a qp or more from a 3 gallon pot.

Well kinda, you said so it don't focus all energy downward. I'm not here to argue. I was just speaking my mind.
I was saying that if the roots don't get air trimmed the roots put most of their roots on the bot to of the pot.
Try covering the top of your fabric pot. You can get the roots to populate the top.
I put EWC on top and the roots grow into it.
I think Giggles means a plastic mulch... trying it out myself and it is worth a go I can tell you that much. From now on I am vegfing a week longer and putting plastic cover over soon as I hit flower it is really going to up root mass. I am pretty convinced by the method now.
Like a plastic poly? Or a special plastic bark?
yup, from the infamous plastic pine..
Ding ding ding!!!! We have a winner!!!!
What was the cherry like ??
