Transplanting; I would like to know how you would mix these products (how much of each) in a 5gal fabric pot using cup scale measurement for the purpose of transplanting? Should any of them be used for just top / just botton? how much water afterwards? Can I use my FF nutes with?

I can’t give you cup measurements but I use a mixture of perlite, happy frog and peat. I fill about 1/2-3/4 the container with happy frog, 1/4 with peat and 1/8-1/4 with perlite. You could use the same mixture and lose 1/4 of the happy frog for the coco coir. I mix it all together evenly, I don’t layer. Sometimes I add a little perlite on top though. I also use the fox farm dirty dozen with my plants. Don’t use heavy doses of nutrients for the first 3-4 weeks after transplanting since the hp already has some nutrients in it.

Hi . In my Diary"cookies for me" ihave a soilmixture reciepe. because you are using unnknown products i cant tell you the Right amount of all your Products. But after transplant and agood watering i would wait with feeding for a few days. Because the plants have Fresh soil with new Nutrients inside now.

@Old1stTimer Hi there mate Do you have a large tub or something along those lines? I use a wheelbarrow but any large container will do Then just chuck the required amounts in together and MIX thoroughly. Think you have mixed enough? Then go ahead and mix it some more Then fill your pot/s being careful not to compact it too much . Water the pot with ingrediants and allow to dry a little before any transplanting. Don't have lights on straight after the transfer it's best to let the plant acclimatise and rest in darkness straight after the stress of the transplant. Next day with lights back on you can water with HALF strength nutrients . Hope this helps mate 👍
