Hey Doug, I picked up some Berger BM7 from Doan's the other day and I'm liking it better than Pro-mix. You still using BM7 as the base for your mix?

No, this year I'm using their "special mix" until I transfer them to the 7 and 10 gallon pots outside. Then I'm going to be reusing last year's mix spruced up a little. Their special mix is BM7, perlite, some osmocote, and I think something else, but they of course won't tell me exactly what, lol. My guess is some mycorrhizae. I pretty much used the same mix last year at this phase. The difference is the Root Excelurator Gold and General Hydroponics Floranova Grow. I had to stop feeding them until I can get them all moved to the 1 gallon pots. You can see them grow over the course of a couple days each time I feed them that stuff.

I'll show you. They have it in the main front room in a huge crate. It's $12 a bag this year, last year it was $10. Damn inflation, lol.

Looks like they got a bag of BM7 and "cut it" with a bag of the cheaper Jemasco potting soil they keep out front haha. I'll check it out next time I'm there. As long as it's not the old potting mix from their greenhouses I'll probably get some.
