From what I have read, that should be fine! A lot of people have their own preferences and like to amend soil or even build their own but I definitely think that should get you where you need to be especially for a beginner, and it’s definitely better than MG

Awesome I'm picking it up today, my plants need to be watered should I water them while there still in mg or wait till I get the promix hp and switch soils then water of course
Ya I was there wednesday they were out but they said they were getting some friday(today) what nutrients should i get when it comes time to add nutrients with promix hp?

Wait because transplanting in wet soil can make it harder to preserve the roots. It makes them more fragile
Ok it still feels damp anyways when put my fingers in up to my knuckles still feels cold and slightly damp, heres the promix hp I'm getting today what nutrients should I get with it and when I apply them

Hmmm I’ll let someone with a little more experience answer this because I’ve never grown with promix. But I use the fox farms nutrient line.
alright no worries! I don't know what I would do if didn't have every ones help thank you!, and I've tried to find fox farms home depot, Wal-Mart, and Canadian tire all don't have it and I haven't been able to find an independent garden store in Chilliwack BC

You could probably order it and be okay because you won’t need to start feeding your plant yet for a little while after you transplant it. Especially since it’s been in a nutrient rich soil
damnit they didn't have it in yet the promix hp abbotsford has 1 left there Canadian tire website says gonna try go get it, is root farm hydro potting soil 0.20-0.06-0.10 has sphagnum peat moss, aged bark, coco coir,worm castings, volcanic ash,and other organic matter in it if cant get promix hp would roots farm be good? I did buy roots ph test kit and roots ph up and roots ph down that good for testing ph can I use that if get promix hp or do I have to use the roots brand with roots farm dirt

Transplant tip -
Usually you water 1 or 2 days before transplanting so that it isnt a wet mess but is still a nice solid mass that can he moved easily all in one piece.
Take your time. Search this site for sunshine promix #4 and read up on it and how it has been used successfully.
You will be rightfully proud when these girls take off in their new soil!

ya I haven't watered them since Monday but it lightly rained on Tuesday and Wednesday, do I need to add anything in the sunshine #4 when I transplant them ? do I need any nutrients right away or wait abit

she’ll be fine just transplant and water.. if you had superthrive or b52 or something of a stress reliever than giver that with the transplant but just water in the new dirt is good

I haven’t used sunshine before however most soils have enough in them to supply the plant for min a few days kinda like an initial “charge”
Think I should add more perlite? I'm gonna pick up flora series grow/micro/bloom today and some perlite I think it's overcast again today so gonna transplant them today I'll keep you updated
