I just planted directly into my medium which was 75% bio light mix and 25% perlite. I have a 20L fabric pot for the gelato auto I am going to Top, an 11L fabric pot for another gelato but this one will be heavily LST’d and finally my Bubblegum in an an 11L fabric pot which I am going to let grow naturally.
I pre soaked my medium with warm water that had root juice added and the PH was 6.6.
2nd grow Wish me luck
