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.
