I cut some clones to put into my greenhouse this year. They are currently in little seedling pots about the equivalent of a red solo cup. The medium I used was PROmix high porosity peat-based. I want to put them into a 5" square pot before their final destination of a 10-gallon pot. My plan was to use a combination soil and PROmix peat for the 10-gallon pots....is this okay? thoughts? also, should I use a combination when I transplant to the 5" pot or stick with straight peat?

What percentage of peat and soil? and if I put some perlite into the mix? what does perlite do? I always thought it was just a filler

Don't take this the wrong way but I'm kind of curious why you started in a Solo cup just to move it to a 5" pot? You could have just started in the 5" pot and then you only have to transplant once. Less stress that way. I was doing that too at first. From a one gallon starter pot to a 2 gallon, to the final (5 or 7 gallon) fabric pots. Recently I cut out the middle man and just go from the 1 gallon to the final and it's been working great. Just some food for thought. Happy growing!
