Premade potting mixes

[leechboy88]

What are the best premade potting mixes from places like Bunnings for people that don't want to mix their own soil_

I'm using the Ozmocote currently but gonna try some other stuff from a produce store in Brisbane next week. You still need liquid fertiliser as the plant grows and start off in good seed raising mix

I have used most brands of potting mix but i found they are full of bark and crap and have noticed in the past few years that they may also contain Gnat lave

 

I'm currently using Scott's Ozmocote Professional and pretty happy with it so far and i also throw in some Perlite and as Aqua said you still will need to feed it something alse after a while.

No issue with the slow release ferts OMD? I ask because I used the same in my first grow and I reckon there was just too much for them when they are seedlings.

I used a seed raising mix mate to get them going to about 3 nodes tall and then re-potted into the potting mix. I wouldn't recommend starting seeds in a potting mix that contains ferts, might be abit hot for them.

And that's what I did. It was an auto and read about avoiding the repotting. Yep, was way too hot but once they got bigger they kicked off again.

I repot at about 4cm tall and leave the seedraising mix around it even with autos. Less shock.

I just grabbed some of this https://www.scottsaustralia.com.au/scotts-brands/pure-organic/pure-organic-potting-mix/pure-organic-premium-potting-planting-mix/ and I wanted to blend in some peat moss, coco and perlite for a decent base mix. This is actually the first potting mix I tested to be quite alkaline. Not sure if I should still give it a go or dump it.
