Ive tried many grow mediums, in my 7yr career.................. but in the end it's all about soil Ph stability, and buffer capacity............ so for that reason, and from quantitative experience !................ the one i use every grow now is gold label special mix..........................Ph stable start to finish...... super aeration capacity.............. low in pot shrink back value,......... overall the best end result from the plants to, they seem to do better in it than any other tried.............. and there was a few tried, as i new there was someone who knew what they where compiling out there !!............of course they where Dutch bods................ spent a while, a good while, getting it bang on, for cannabis culture.......................let me tell you the result back up the input.......
best germ method = 3 to 5ltr pot................ fill to within 50mm of the rim,................ light tamp down tap pot,........... poke 1cm deep hole put bean in blunt end "UP"...................... wet til water runs out with Ph6.5 water with added 'Plus Start" 1ml ltr, to wet germ pot soil........................then cover pot top with "Clingfilm", secure outer pot edge with elastic band, pull clingfilm tight........................ put under light at 1m height if 600w same for 400w........... keep pot temp at 23-25c......................... it remains moist as clingfilmed over..............= moisture kept in.............prevents drying out, the main cause of germ failure............................good luck man.................ALR
addendum;
best beans ??............... best results = best genetic is true............. = "Dutch Passion Amsterdam Seed Company"........................ best strain auto indoor ??.............................lemon zkittle champ of champs
