MindSoup Posted Friday at 14:01 Share Posted Friday at 14:01 @GSZZ yeah you'd think you'd have had a few complaints if that was the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought one bag had more lumpy bits in but that's just the variation you get I suppose. For flowering I like the DNS Mills soil with Cork - looking up various composts it has a lot of nutes bunged in there so you don;t need much (if any) nutes in veg and start of flower. I'm using the Canna Terra Professional Plus - mainly for seedlings/early veg. Edited Friday at 14:06 by DeltaMelter Added the Plus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the extra cost per bag balance out against less nutrients used? 33 minutes ago, DeltaMelter said: I'm using the Canna Terra Professional Plus Lovely stuff. If I do potted chillis or toms for fun in the garden, canna terra pro plus is what I grab but I wouldn't use it with economy in mind. 32 minutes ago, latigid aikon said: Out of interest is that Canna Terra Professional or Canna Terra Professional Plus?

DeltaMelter Posted Friday at 14:46 Share Posted Friday at 14:46 @GSZZ I'm buying both online so they are both about £20 per bag. I like the Mills stuff because its so strong you can just water it and its well aerated so it dried out quickly - not sure it saves the money on nutes I just like the reaction the plants have when they get new shoes!. Grown better weed in that soil than previous types but that could be down to allsorts. I have tried Plant Magic (ok but sets like concrete), Gold Mix (bit rich) the Batmix Plagron (seems OK but gets used up quick) as well as a few others like All mix etc. Really need to do a test grow though with clones and see if there's much in it between Mills and the Canna soils. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I talk about economy, time vs money etc ultimately its whatever is delivering the results for you. Slightly on/off topic - but despite trying loads of different stuff, I'm still shelling out for bags of canna coco just because its consistently the best quality and produces the most consistent quality results, its worth the extra few quid a bag over other stuff. I'll just come out and say it, as far as bagged medium go canna really are the best you can buy from the grow shop. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amarillo slim Posted Friday at 17:16 Share Posted Friday at 17:16 Clover peat bales are same as they’ve ever been. Last batch I made was 100l bale, sticks & fluff removed (to make suitable for seedlings), 500g or so dolomite lime before sitting a while, seaweed, worm casts and super course perlite…. From there you can add osmocote or use as is with liquid nutes…. The herbs and chillis get gaunokalong complete Next time I’m feeling flush might grab a bag of the canna stuff…. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindSoup Posted Friday at 18:08 Share Posted Friday at 18:08 If I had space I'd be buying as many 100l bales of clover peat as I could fit, it's banging stuff and I'm guessing it'll be gone pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC Posted Friday at 19:34 Share Posted Friday at 19:34 I use Canna Pro mostly, sometimes I use Playgron, their Batmix or Royal mix is fine for me. I like to buy more than one brand, just in case of a bad batch, although I've never had a bad bag of Canna Pro so far and been using it years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldo Posted Friday at 20:01 Share Posted Friday at 20:01 How they're stored deffo makes a massive difference, I slated clover a little while ago as was full of gnatts. Took a chance and bought again and it's fine this time. I like mixing this with Coco, worm castings and guanokalong complete. I find it much easier disposing of used soil with out perlite in it which most if not all canna specific soils have 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
