Thank you miss and terry. I'm doing some verde and superthrive. Was doing fish e emulsion but was attracting aphids. They were upset for a day because I
Hardened them off intensely. And my spot changed. Much more light. 65 gallon pots.

Outside now unless it rains.

Snapped a branch accidentally. So I reversed the metal. Should be ok. Oh and germinating chocolope I was given by you know who. Doing indoor for those :)

They are stunning. Great healthy looking growth as well as growth pattern. Props. They are going to be some big ones for sure.

Yeah... moving soil blows. My wife and I stacked three of those full of soil into the back of our car - not fun.

ok, ok, I'll admit that on the third one we dumped some soil :)

What's in yours? Mix wise?

Pretty hard to over do it on perlite and any amount will help so I'd say as much as you're willing to pay for :) A bag a piece would be good, two woul dbe great but half a bag a piece would be better than none. If your plant's roots aren't already established throughout the soil you can just mix it in by hand all round the plant. Or you can remove soil while not disturbing the plants roots, amend it into the soil and replace.

Have you thought about amending anything else into the soil? Even if you're using a bottled line or any other chem fert I would still recommend ammend the soil with a few pounds of kelp meal and alfalfa meal. Both contain natural plant growth regulators that have been found to be beneficial.

Ok thank you. Just transplanted today. So hopefully tomorrow I will get the three you mentioned. Anything else? And thank you very much.

The more the merrier imo - or at least the more diverse the better. I would recommend all types of P and K amendments but the alfalfa meal and kelp meal would really be my priorities if using a premade line. I amend with N material as well but it's much easier to screw up and also alot easier to spot correct via a tea or just some high N chem ferts.

Dolomite half pound. Kelp and alfalfa 3.5 pounds. Bat 5 pounds. Bone I think 2 pounds. Mixed perlite but couldn't get to the bottom. Might try tomorrow. What you think? That good for now?

Those were mixed and put into both. So they have around a pound to 2 each of all the amendments. And I covered the top soil with perlite.
