Alright lads, i was pottin up to my final 10lts pots using all mix but iv ran out 4 sum reason! I can't afford any more bags, i was looking on b&q site and theres this :


Westland West+ Advanced Plant & Grow 60L for only a few quid,

would it be ok to pot up my remaining few babies in this stuff?

i use the westland mp with ji , in the blue bag

not sure about your one but there a fair few who use the one i said

alright jiffa,

it says on the site red , blue and silver....i take it this means they have 3 different kinds.

so im looking for the blue bag then? Do i have to add anything to this soil?

thanks mate

just water mate , until she has taken the nutes from the compost , then you need to supplement it

with regular pot ups feed shouldnt be needed until they have been in the final pots for a few weeks

you could mix the new soil plus the all mix so its got a good mixture of both and improves the compost a bit? that way they would grow more evenly? or is it too late..

ive been using advance+ and its doin the job 4 me

IMO allmix is certainly no better than any mp compost, it's just cannabis specific advertising and then upping the price because of it, tbh i would never ever buy a bag of allmix again

I use 'West+' and the plants seem to love it. Not too hot, but it keeps them going for ages before they need food.

I read somewhere on this site that any compost that is designed for the growing of veg and fruit is fine for cannabis.So I bought a shamrock grow bag for for about 2 quid and they thrived on it.

alright lads, cheers for the replies!!

I went to b&q with a few quid thinking i was getting a 60l bag....but it was only a 10ltr haha!!

I need another 100ltrs of soil for as cheap as possible!! Was gonna just tap some money and go get the all mix as gettin 10 of this westlands stuff would be the same price!

Could i just buy a big bag of this bnq general compast and mix it with perlite and vermiculite?

Hmmm....I need to get this dun 2morrow coz iv only got 12 to repot and i dont want them lagging behind!

Thinking of going 12/12 after 5 weeks instead of 6 coz iv went from 5ltr to 10ltr n i dno how long they will last in that size.....what yous think....5 or 6....if i go for 6 they will have been in their final pots for 16 days, is this ok or will they get rootbound?

cheers

Hiya peeps,

I found over many years of growing that Westland’s multi purpose compost with added John Innes is the best all-rounder I have come across in the Chester area and B&Q seed and cutting compost is the best for my cuttings, because companies only work from a 50 year old John Innes recipe, all Westland’s m/p compost is not exactly the same texture because my local garden centre recently changed suppliers of the above compost, why I don't no but a supervisor said it was cheaper. So when I got home to pot up I was shocked to find such a difference in looks, smell and texture, but thank the lord the plants like it and settled down nicely after potting up. So Westland’s multi purpose around here will not be the same as a Westland’s m/p supplier in London say. I wonder what checks they have done by the John Innes Institute ombudsman to make sure the recipe is being followed. My compost is bought from a garden centre owned by the Duke of Westminster and is located on the edge of his private estate in Ecleston near Chester so I do not no the name of his supplier, but B&Q do westlands m/p with added ji and Homebase do one as well, so I don’t know how many companies there are making this recipe.



Peace,
GG
