I started a rooted clone in regular potting soil about a month ago
I have nutrients that i want to use but i was told not to because the soil already has nutes in it
I also have perilite that i want to mix in the soil for more air, the bag soil is really dense
Can I re-pot and mix in the perilite?
If so, how?
Can i use the nutes after that?

Thanks everyone
Happy smoking

Im not sure what soil exactly, bought it from the local flower shop
I looked for the 20-20-20 type numbers on the bag but didnt find any
I dont live in the US so I have no idea what the bag says on it (not labeled in English) but its just regular potting soil

The pot is about 3 gal, and i have the soil about 3/4 the way up
Is that ok? or should I have filled the pot?

I have GHE flora series nutrients (if that helps)

Thanks!!!!!!

I am giving them soooo little, about 1/4 of the suggested amount for seedlings
but i'm afraid of burn cause the soil
Really my bigger concern is drainage and air in the soil, hence wanting to add the perilite
I've been reading about transplanting and I want to know if it's worth it in my situation, risking transplant shock, or if i should just let her go as is

Hopefully pics coming soon

i would repot when they was established in the pot there in ... the new soil should be a decent one not garden dirt, (some growers make there own soil ... but they tend to be age old gardeners who know there stuff) ... what i did was i got a lightly ferted compost (which already has some perlite) ...add shit loads more perlite.... roughly 60% soil 40% perlite... planted and 2 weeks later started adding nutes (1/4 strength of min dose) ... turns out i still started nutes a little too early but not much harm done

they look like 3 gal pots .... they should be ok for room .... sorry only just saw your pics....

would'nt repot them.... :?
