This was a 10 gal repot using about a cup maybe less (I use the handful measuring method) mixed in the soilless mix.
You may use more if you wish, alittle goes a long way in establishing a good connection with your roots and soilless mix.
Photo was in August 3 weeks after repot.
This is real predictable result when you salt your mix with organic fert.
You will not get hair roots like this with a chemical fertilizer.
Better roots means better plants for your winter grow.
Another way to get the most out your roots is the use of mychorizae (Myke) in your soilless mix but using it changes nutrient uptake/ fertilizer use.......this is a gardening rabbit hole if folks are interested. Promix has a soilless mix product that I have not used but a few of my cohorts swear by it.
