Hey guys... I am looking at buying some ProMix soil and I was wondering if anyone has any info or if there is anyone who has used it and knows anything about it. I can't figure out which I would need the ProMix BX or ProMix Hp???I am thinking about trying this soil with growology nutes. Anybody with some knowledge in this area please let me know. Also would this medium work with Doc's kit????
Pro-Mix HP is exactly what Doc Bud's kit is made for.
It's ph-balanced peat, with 27% perlite and some very good mycos. I had the opportunity to talk to one of the soil engineers at Premier. They use only high calcium limestone to balance the ph of their peat, which is taken from bogs at numerous sites in Canada and the States.
It's good stuff with no particular "nutes" of its own - nothing to get in the way of your own program.
One compressed bale or 2 bags, and 30 lbs of worm poop, is all you need to run Doc's kit. That'll get you 60 gallons of soil and enough foliars and drenches to do about a grow and a half before you run out. Or run 30 gallons and have enough from the kit for multiple runs, which is how I started.
One thing to consider: If you run commercial nutes through it, it won't work with the kit later. Of course, I recommend the kit.
Either way, it's some of the best soil out there.
[Edit] And I don' mean to step on KJC's toes, but the kit was purposely designed for dummies. My plants look like they do because of the kit, not me.

Surfactants are compounds that lower the surface tension between two liquids or between a liquid and a solid. Surfactants may act as detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents, and dispersants.
I'm hoping by the end of summer I will have my greenhouse up and running that will be totally under my control as far as temp, humidity and light and eventually using my own natural nutes off the farm but all of these things take time. Had no idea this time last year I would be growing in my closet (cabinet, box and tent) or I would have scooped the poop.....
