2 part promix
1 part Amend(rice hulls)
1 part recycled soil
1 part perlite #3
...after everything gets mixed i usually end up with 100 gal of soil from a single bale of Promix.
-Amend I get from Walmart is about $8 a bag
-Perlite #3 from homedepot for about $5 a bag

Torch: does this mean more feeds per week>how often do you water or feed?
polo:Ive never used dolomite lime in PM can you explain a bit about the advantage of using this and at what rrate its should be used (im using 20 gal bins)

Ya the PM is buffered already I believe, & the Amend has lime in it too...
I use this mix for seeds/clones/transplants, etc...
Every 3rd day I either feed or water- depends how quick the pots dry out.
I finish in 10 gal pots & sometimes depending on the weather I have to water every day... I don't use my finger to check for moisture- usually jam my whole hand in the soil if I can't tell by lifting the pots.
