What’s some of the best stuff you guys have used, Homemade compost aside I’m talkin right off the shelf I’m aware of fox farm roots organic promix and stuff like that what have you guys used I’m starting a indoor
 
Never used it but like you said, Fox farms seems to be the goto choice. Ocean Forest in particular seems to be a favorite for people who don't want to deal with ferts
 
I’ve got nice things to say about SoHum living soil. Send it over the edge with Build-A-Flower top dressing from BAS and you’ve got a winner.
 
I'll also throw in that the Kashi Blend from BAS seems to be a good option too; Compared to plain old bokashi from terraganix which did give me a nice white fuzz for the most part the BAS stuff seems to come on strong & hard... thick white fuzz all over the tops so a non-scientific comparison I'd say the BAS wins hands down plus it has a few other goodies mixed in including some mycos.

I add quite a bit of perillite to my promix hp so i get to water more for my indoor. Always scared of root rot

I guess you can add too much perlite but I’ve never been able to. All we get here is the BX for some reason. I add a lot more perlite to it. Peat really compacts well and the more waterings the more compaction. I find cultivating a lot easier with way more perlite in it.
 
roots organic original potting mix > ffof

drains a lot better out of the bag. that' the soil i'd use if i used soil.

For right out of the bag stuff, I get great results with COM - Stonington Blend. I have used it 5 or 6 times and its the only stuff that doesn't need any amendments from start to finish. Really you don't need to add anything to it but I do add 20% more perlite. Anyhow... I usually veg my plants for 10 - 12 weeks, and still all I have to give them is water from start to finish. But as a side note... I do leave a few inches of space at the top of my pots when I start them, and at the start of the 3rd week of flower I add a 1 -1/2 inch layer of COM - Stonington Blend to recharge the pot!
