    Im using Biobizz and Fox Farm composts mixed in one large pot. Great results so far. Its my first grow so I might not be the best one to answer. My pot is an Airpot, I had to fold both ends together to make the pot shape, then put the base in. I wont grow in anything else with the good start I have had.

    I liked plant magic soil supreme. Nice fluffy compost with good drainage and only very light. No need for perlite addition either.
