I've seen they do a light mix and the normal mix,some people said light for seedlings and the normal for when you up pot is that right? Or could i get away with using light throughout?
Either or really. I just use light mix throughout. If you use allmix you don't need to feed much for a few weeks. But you can run the risk of the soil being too hot if you put a young plant or seedling in it. I see people have done that with no problems and others where it's been a problem.

Ile go with the light mix then cheers mate
Mix your own Find a good recipe and go for it. Be pennies on the dollar and way better than bagged stuff.

A great media is peat/perlite/dolomite/gypsum. You can find recipes on the web. Use a little more perlite to make it lighter. Peat has a very light nute charge.
One of the members farside05 has recipe for faux-mix, it’s a hack to make pro-mix which can be ran alone as a soilless substrate or it can be used as the base to build a more comprehensive soil like a supersoil or living organic soil.

I'm a Biobizz fan soil 'n'' nutrients the complete package a part from some of the new range of nutrient supplements !
How ever between light mix & all mix is purely EC rating or preloaded nutrients in the blend which may last a few to several weeks at best.
I have always used all mix with out problems & to date still recycle the compost by replacing 20% with fresh all mix this naturally lowers the inert EC rating from a complete fresh bag etc but good enough to get ya next grow going along with a light feed of micro nutrient solution.

I went for biobizz light mate and already have mega crop nutes,what's the prices on biobizz nutes of the tip of your head?
£22 for 3 x 500ml bottles. Grow, bloom and top-max. They're the basic ones but they have other stuff too. Or you can get those in 250ml bottles as a try out pack for £15 I think. I went from those to mega crop.
Nothing wrong with them I just got the mega crop to save time measuring stuff out.
