Well i went down to the garden centre today and had a look at a few different types of compost and i couldnt find any with perlite and i they all had nutrients added. I did manage to find a couple with added sand but ive read just about everywhere that perlite is essential.

Can anyone recommend me any good ganja growing compost to buy in the uk?

Cheers

Also Starfish-Supplies on eBay have good soil with perlite included. The Light Mix is good....not sure if they do soil with no nutes at all.

Try using John Innes seed and potting compost, or John Innes No.2 and buy the perlite seperate from a garden centre, and for the cost its worth knowing your plants will grow well!

Likewise, just be sure to get the peat-free version of their compost if you can.

And don't buy their fucking pH/moisture tester for £6.98, fucking plant killer.
Sorry I couldn't resist
