Any thoughts on the soil

I ordered a bag of Atami Bi-GrowMix (https://atami.com/brands/atami-substrates/) , I couldnt link directly to it, so scroll down a page or two.

I was planning on putting the seedlings in this soil during the weekend. 

I also ordered horticulture sand, perlite and vermiculite just in case and they sell more "regular" soil here locally. I ordered 11 and 26 liters "cloth" pots but I have a range of pots in plastic too if need be. I was thinking of planting them in the 11 liters pots for now. Not sure how it is to re-plant from 11 to 26 litres later on with those cloth pots, never used them before. 

Any input, advice or thoughts on this?

    • I'd add at least 30% perlite. Leave the sand and vermiculite out.

      I don't do it, I'm shooting for all hydro, but plenty of people here, who grow in soil, use the "bag in a bag" transplant method.

      • 30% is a good number, I can count the perlite pebbles but how do I count the dirt? Lol. I suggest Coco coir if you can get it in your area. Its much easier than soil and the terp production is about the same without any effort

        • Thanks for the advise! Iwill use as much perlite as I have. When using Coco coir, will I need different nutrients as I have seen advertised and be more careful with pH or is that some other form of coco setup?

          • I use the same nutrients for soil, coco, & water grows. I do think hydro is more sensitive then soil but PH matters in soil too

          • I use botanicare aero and autopots. But we have a few here who are soil growers. And we love to help if we can.

            • I have autopots as well but was thinking of not using them this time around. I ended up buying ghe nutrients this time.
