" The Top Three Grow Mediums Pt.2." This is where the rubber meets the road. I don't believe in bad soil-less mix. I wanted to cover a little about the three soil-less mixes that I know will bring you great results. I talked lastly about the Ready-Grow Moisture Formula that is pretty expensive to purchase. If you have a large number of clones or seedlings to plant. This depends on the type of grow container used. This could be 1 to 2 watering's daily if you use a three gallon white plastic bags with holes punched into the bottom for drainage. This bag can be purchased black or white. I prefer White on the outside and black on the inside.

I have sever grows under my belt with the three gallon black perforated grow bags, for good drainage and the bags sit straight. I decided to go with the 1 Gallon white bags, for my smaller plants that don't get over three feet tall the 1 gallons saves material for soil, water, and nutrients.This crop is placed in Roots Organic soil-amendments, and watered every other day with the nutrients. I have 24 plants in one gallon plastic bags that are 6 rows of 4 in each roll in my 76 x 76 x 76 Grow Tent, with Co2 Boost for ultimate growth.This coco/fiber/coir, repeatedly washed for an incredible low EC, composted for over twenty-four months, especially blended with extra long fibers, perlite, and pumice. Lightly amended with a starter charge of organic fertilizers like bat guano,worm castings, and kelp, this mix is designed for heavy feeding and high performance in containers or hydroponic applications. Encourages healthier plants and heavier yields.Roots Organics Soil 1.5cf.

Here is another that I like very much is Sunshine Mix 4 aggregate Mix #4 is recommended where high air capacity and fast drainage are needed during winter months with highly water or salt sensitive crops,where frequent leaching is required. Mix #4 contains Canadian Sphagnum peat moss,perlite, major and minor nutrients gypsum, and dolomite limestone and our long lasting wetting agent 3.8 cu ft . The last one my favorites that I have used for several crops is the Fox-Farm Ocean Forrest, where organic ingredients play such a large role.
