Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!
Thank you Ante! It's not vermiculite!....It's a potting mix that controls the moisture for seedlings....I just added perlite to the potting mix!.....

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!
Ante,
That is pool filter silica coarse sand!......The soiless medium that I used for Nanas in pots or in the ground!....Has a bigger grit than normal/regular sand!....Keywords DRAINAGE and AERATION!.......

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!
Woooooohoooooo looking so good my bro! Your doing such an awesome job! All your plants are looking amazing!
My Vunamami is about a foot tall now! Growing great! I will try to put a pic of it on my Flickr. Nick is a master at TCing plants! Anytime he offers any for sale, get them!! I’m hoping I can continue to keep my Vun alive! I’m excited to see how it does! I have heard bad results from many guys growing it and how hard it is to grow. It is for sure different! Amazing job my bro! Amazing French Red! You know it’s one of my favorites!!! Keep up the good work!
