Am gonna transplant soon my plants are in potting soil at the mo.
Need some advice.
Am gonna use pots about a foot deep as i dont want a tree.
Am gonna mix potting soil with sand, soil from my garden where stinging nettles grow, some clay and gravel.
Then put compost/ humus on top for top soil.
Sound good?
If not what should i do then?? Need some help.
Heres some pics is it time to transplant?

I would say not to use the soil from ya garden. It may contain some nastiest. Also when using soil it tends to compact like concrete.
I would say just go with compost. And a little perlite if required. Should be fine with that

Forget about sand & clay - just buy a sack of MP compost.
Most vars will show sex inbetween 5-6 weeks - roughly.
You'd better get a move on as now is the time to plant out.
