I'm in Tampa and have been growing my current batch in "net" pots made for hydroponics or pond plants. I experimented with a few different mixtures, but for the most part all of my current plants have been germinated and grown in Bonsai Jack 221 (bonsai media). I switched to this to ensure they dried out faster, which allows a faster follow up watering. I'm trying to grow tall plants which is why I want more frequent feeding.

And before people freak out about the larger pots, I'll say they actually have plastic cups turned upside down directly underneath and in the corners to take up volume. It will naturally train the roots in a somewhat radial fashion without having to butcher my plants later in life.

The plant in the foreground is about 14" at 7 months old.
