I will be using StepWell supersoil and 4 of the regular 15L autopots next round. Since this is my first time at this I have a few questions, Is adding a layer of clay pebbles necessary? Also StepWell says their supersoil is about 22-25% perlite is this too low? Will adding perlite to say about 30% be beneficial? Also regarding nutes I have Gaia Green All Purpose Organic 4-4-4 that I will be using. Now I used to top dress with this but with autopots Im thinking of adding the Gaia Green to the bottom half of the container mixed in with the supersoil and leave the top of the soil regular to not stunt or hurt the seedling. This way their will be food available for them in later stages. Again this will be my first go at this setup so if anyone could chime in with some tips I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you

you should only need water with super soil, or its not so super afterall maybe
I have been using only water for outdoor grows and a couple indoor grows but they were in bigger pots than the ones provided with autopots. I figured "spiking" the soil with more organic nutes, Gaia All Purpose 4-4-4 to be exact in the bottom half of the autopots to ensure they have enough food for their entire cycle. Just wanted some input and suggestions/tips from others that used supersoil in autopots as well to see if they too did something like that.
