50/50 and mixed thoroughly together.......never layer your soils, it freaks the plants out.

Personally I go directly into the ocean forest and never had a problem. On the other hand there are a large group of growers that say it’s too nutrient rich for seedlings. I’d go with a five gallon and forest on the bottom and happy on top 50/50 and it should last about 5-7 weeks

Lightening Soil - Coco Coir or Perlite?I think my soil is a bit heavy and could have better drainage. Should I add more perlite or some coco coir for my next garden? My base is Biobizz Light-Mix. I'm thinking of supplementing it with 10%-15% of perlite or coco coir. Does this sound good or should I do something else?
