Right now with the maters I have in the WS and Pro mix they are neck and neck the same.But for cuttings/clones/germinations the WS is far faster and more abundent in root developement(mass and thickness).Mind you mine is not a clinical controlled methods i.e.ferts, water,etc.Cost wise since I have 150 plus plants in containers,no SIP or EB'S(including odds and ends,herbs,hot peppers,flowers for wife,fruit trees)I will use the WS as a starting medium.I go through 10-12 bales of Pro mix a year.
