Should you mix Different soils ?

[Oldfartnoclue58]

I started making up my next pot of soil for my next grow and didn't realize until I had mixed in some nutes that I didn't have enough dirt. Using Pro-Mix Hp Reach. I can get more of the same soil in a day or two but I did have some ph issues at the beginning of my last grow which may have been because of this soil. But I hadn't tested it which I was going to do when I had my pot(s) ready. I do have a bag of year old FoxFarm Ocean Forest that I could finish filling it up with but as a newb I'm worried due to some things I've seen about FoxFarm soil so not sure what to do. Got a seed going and a pot half full, lol. Any/ all help is appreciated.

Thanks all

This is the best promix that I've tried. It need to have about 20% perlite added to it.

You may also want to water with a wetting agent, it's bone dry.

Thanks, I appreciate your response. Yeah, I went ahead and got another bag of HP Ready. It's what I know and went with it. I'll add some Dynomyco and grow dots and top dress some recharge until 1st water and hopefully all will be good .

Thanks again.

Its not a bad thing but if both are amended or 1 is coco and the other is peat/soil based if its close to a 50/50 mix then it gets treated like 100% coco. Other than that you just gotta adjust when you start feeding. Some soils only habe a month of food, some have 6 months worth. Id stay away from anything that has ferts that last that long because it could. negatively effect flowering.

Yeah, that's why I went with ProMix. Good ph no nutes to really worry about. I learned a lot about feeding with my last girl so I'm hoping between that and a set group of food for my baby that all goes well .

Thanks for the input .

Keep an eye on it as it starts to bloom.

Some soil and strain combinations will start to show an intervein yellowing of the leaves, magnesium deficiency. Sounds like you aren't doing water only though.
