Local Promix Supplier

Does anyone know who carries Promix for starting vegetable seeds in trays, in Puna, or Hilo?

The cheapest price I've found is at CPS in Hilo (WAY cheaper than the farm collective).

But the "starting" blend doesn't actually work very well. We have better luck with the standard blend. It defies explanation, but has been our experience with seedlings. We'll probably never buy the starting blend again.

ETA: CPS doesn't always have things in stock. Call ahead.

Thanks terracore.
Is the standard blend more coarse, & does it have better drainage?
I use 6 packs for most of my starts, but they often get a greenish tinge on top before the plants are large enough to move out of the greenhouse, into the outdoor garden.  
The green onions always seem a little waterlogged when they’re small.

Yes, more coarse and better drainage. The seedling mix turns green on the top pretty quick, at least under a grow light.

Thanks terracore, I appreciate it!
