Mixing biobizz soils all-mix and light mix to avoid transplant

In good environments it won’t take the roots long to dive down quickly into the pot, especially the tap roots you get from seeds. I know you don’t want to but it’s best practice to transplant, repot. Start seedlings off using lightmix but run water through the tiny pots a couple of times. The run-off can still be really high in lightmix, the manufacturers struggle with consistency. Biobizz lightmix flashed off the scale rapid at 3.6 on my ec truncheon, I only tested this a fortnight ago so it’s current. Large pots stay wet for too long with seedlings and will delay root growth.

I have mixed these together so that they are mixed, but layered, so that bottom is stronger than top. I also mixed hydro corn/coco mix with all mix(and also some with little light mix) and i think it worked a bit better maybe. Just remember that light mix and all mix holds water better than hydrococo mix.

I also tested with making coco/hydrocorn/allmix soil and adding slow release fertilisers(biotabs) to it and it seems to have worked best. You could make it so that its very light in the beginning, then starts to release nutes slowly and depending on how strong mix you make, you could grow it with plain water from start to finish or do a lighter mix so that the nutes in soil carry you to flower and bit on it and then you could start adding some PK-booster and maybe a bit of bloom nutes at some point of flowering.



You could if you want to train the roots, but if you only have 7L pot as final pot size, well there is not much room for roots, so im not sure if training them does much good. Also because you grow in such small final pot size, im assuming you want to grow smaller plants anyways with short vegging time(or autoflowers).
