    Different composts, with the same John Innes added to them. I used to use up to 50% perlite for seedlings (as plain soil can often be too strong for small plants) and about 20% ish for bigger ones, though not always needed depending how well the soil drains.

    sorry to bump an old tipic but what do you think i should go with for a sog grow growing in 6.5l pots on 12/12 from just after clones take root? the b&q john innes looks good if a bit pricey, but which would be best suited out of the ji2 or 3 from those?

    probably mixed with 30% perlite?

    or would another soil altogether be better suited? i'm going to need a fair bit of it and money is tight, so cheap and from b&q/homebase etc is what i'm looking for. the above 2 are 17p a litre which is more than i was looking to spend if anyone knows a good alternative? homebase do some multipurpose and organic compost for about 6-8p a litre respectively...

    I have found the cheaper composts have a problem with long term Ph stability, those based on peat tend to go acidic after 2-3 months (Ph 5, I have to dust soil surface with lime(1/4 teaspoon) once a month to keep the Ph to 7-ish. Fungus and flies like acid soil, usually first sign od acidity is them fungus arriving and the plants stunting.
    Not older than dirt but I can remember when it was "patent pending"

    I just read this thread. on our wonderful forum. All the Innes compositions contain ground limestone to put the Ph up.

    I've gone from Hydroponic grows to soil grows and have been having good results with miraclegrow multipurpose. Cheaper store brands weren't that good when I tried them but now I have changed it is a different ball game.
