Have my doubts

 

[potpimp]

I would stick with conventional my first few grows.

If your going for peat, buy pre amended Stuff. It may be hard to whip up a decent batch your first try, I know I had a hard time.

Okay so basically don’t do it lol got it ! I’m just scared if I put it in dirt it will die(don’t ask why)

No, you can transplant any time to any media I believe, just be gentle, and make sure the new media Isent too “hot” aka too fertilized.

Use some Promix BX. Its Sphagnum moss, perlite, vermiculite, mycorrhizae , Calcitic Lime, and Dolomitic lime. Great stuff. After it stabilizes the PH in 6.2. Peat moss alone is very acidic.

Wait, so instead of using tried tested and true methods you'd rather do something that noone else does and expect this to be a good idea?

Listen buddy … I’m new to growing I said. There’s many ways you can grow according to google. So that’s why I am asking opinions on here where people have knowledge ! So no, I did not expect this to be a good idea. Thanks for your input though ! I’m here for everyone’s knowledge

This is true it is around 3 for PH ! Thank you !

Another thing everyone ? When I transplant it to a 3 inch pot (in dirt) should it be root bound before transplanting ? Or when the steam is over 5 inches ? Thank you everyone ! You guys have been a big help

The moss should be ok to grow in but is more suited to other species.

I thought it had a neutral pH, once composted or dug as the below surface peat the pH is lower.

I would use a pre prepared shop soil once it needs a repot.

what are signs that it needs to be repotted?

 

[Gregshed]

It rooting through most of the media.
For you just do it now.

 

[xtsho]

I'd get that in some soil asap. It's not an orchid.

A 3 inch pot is a good size starter pot. I would recommend using loamy soil that contains a low amount of nutrients and has been pH buffered at 7. You should always transplant before it becomes root bound. You'll want a root ball before you transplant again from the 3 inch pot to something larger.
