Change of plans

[Bikerstonrr]

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I have to scale my plans drastically. I will only be taking one plant to maturity at a time and will have to make due with stuff I have around the house for a flowering tent, etc. etc.

The question I have is I am now going to use compost with Perlite mixed in. I was thinking a mix of 25% Perlite and 75% compost. Is this good or should I do a different mixture?

Just make sure the compost is ready. I have heard (no experience with compost) that using compost that isn't quite ready can have an adverse effect on the plants.

Yes indeed...my very first grow I mixed up what I thought was a good supersoil, but due to ignorance and impatience used it before it had enough time to compost, and very quickly saw how unhappy my seedling had become. Switched quickly to coco/perlite with nutes, and my baby thrived after that! 😊

What does this compost consist of? Store bought? Yard Soil?

Store bought. As a matter of fact I used some of it for my bag seed test grow. Actually she seems to be thriving on it.
