  • If you live in a small town, I'd say the hardware store. If you live in the city, any home improvement, department or garden store will carry it.

  • How did you manage to put on your gloves as you fell backwards with the full pot?

  • @VirtualTourShop Oh, my talents are many and unending...Unfortunately, video editing doesn't seem to be one of them.

  • GaucheGarden, why don't you add fertilizers? Also, people who advocate adding perlite have normally been reading articles on how to grow cannabis. Apart from making sowing/cutting mixes, perlite is not good to use in a potting mix. Horticulturalists do not use perlite in this way, it's people in america that used to grow pot but didn't know what potting up was that started using perlite in their potting mixes since the mix used to go anaerobic and sour. Silver sand or coir is much better.

  • @oliverwhinnett Totally agree on the coir point, but here again I was going for what was cheapest and most accessible. As for fertilizers, I do add them to my mixes. However it varies by what I am planting in the pot. So the mix in the video is just a generic, base starting point.

  • Should use perlite instead of sand. You should always use a hot compost for such a mix.

  • @MrAndrewbud420 Normally I would agree, but I was going for what was most economical and easily accessible for all.
