I use promix.... dolomitic lime.... pure blend pro grow and pure blend bloom....
thats it.....
the compressed bale is about 7 cu ft loose.....
As far as the amount.... not very precise....
My guess is that I use about 18 oz per bale....could be a tad more....
The package says for plants in ph range 5.0 to 7.0...
my assumption that means the stuff is pretty close to 5?????
I dont use additional perlite....
Hi everyone, i've been out of the loop for a little while but i'm working on a new room and will be starting a new grow soon. Anyways, i've decided to go with Pro-Mix as my medium, but i have a few questions since i have not used it before:
Should i go with the HP or BX? It seems like most people prefer to use the BX and add Chunky Perlite which is what i am probably going to do but figured i would ask.
If i go with the BX, how much chunky perlite should i add?
I know it's PH stabalized, but will i need to add dolomite lime at some point and if so how much should i add and when?
Also, the bales are supposed to be 3.8CU Ft compressed, since they are compressed does that mean it will actually give me more than 3.8CU Ft once i unbag it?
Thanks
Ok, i just read that Dolomite Lime lasts 30-60 days according to another thread on here. So adding more lime every 45 days or so would probably be ok right?
Also, since Pro-Mix has Lime already in it should i wait a month or so before i put any lime in or do you guys add some right of the bat?
Anybody ever notice the BX is like water proof lol that shit like repells water, IDk I didn't really like that.......but I always use HP mixed with fox farm OF some perlite and some extra lime
you still gonna need to add more late in flowering.
Do you just mix lime into water first, top dress or do you use liquid lime?
I wonder why one would want to use promix over coco. I understand if you are usind soil mixes but If feeding with chems what advantages do you see in pro mix over coco? The reasons I ask is It seems to me all plants react an grow better in coco I have used both.
Something to know about pro mix.. I used to pre water my girls with just water, then i would water them with my nuted water... cos pro mix has a tendency to harden up when it gets dry.. pre watering i believe helps the nutes distributed quicker and better.. peace and puffs..

50% promix bx because that's what's here. I noticed nothing different in my grows with hp
25% EWC
25% perlite
2 tbs dolomite lime per gallon, works for me.
ferts- PBP pro gro and bloom, LK, cal-mag and last and not least good old blackstrap molasses.
I've never had to add more lime during a grow.
