Hi @Bob's Auto's in the Biotab manual it says to use 50% perlite and 50% soil or coco. Have I got this right?
IF so, how come you mainly have soil and only a small % of perlite.
Just a little confused, because 50% perlite seems an awful lot.

Correct, it states that in the manual. Good eye, I also saw that.
I like to keep my ratio around 30% perlite though and put in some coco as this also has a lot of beneficial properties. The 10L perlite was to put into the 40L organic soil as this had no perlite in it amounting to 25% (close enough as a 10L bag costs 7€!). The other bag already had perlite mixed into it. And the 30L in the end of my 'ingredients' list was also a mix I made with around 30% perlite added. So 30%, yup...That's my goal

Later today after the rain has stopped I'll be transferring the pots to the greenhouse and transplant the young plants. So...to be continued :smoking:

So said so done...Using the barrel wheel I moved the pots four at a time to the greenhouse where the seedlings where waiting...

I dug a hole in the soil where the seedling would go and...

...dusted it with 5 teaspoons Mycotrex and put the seedling in there.

This was done for each plant...

That's it for today. Got loads done so I'm a happy camper.

Regards,

Bob

I'm curious who get's it

Did you forget to water the pots?

Did you forget to water the pots?

Nope, I forgot to add something from the "BioTabs" nutrient line

That would be bactrex I guess...

 

[Bob's Auto's]

Nope, watered that in...But a good guess though
