its costing me money to buy this stuff now but itll save me money in the long runBrother you are sure taking this to the next level, lol. I actually will start reusing my FFOF/Happy Frog mix as well will simply contionually recondition it and let it cook during grows the male i cut down that vegged 60 days got that soil already re amended and cooking in the garage so it will be ready in a few months for the next grow. Post some updated photos of the kids.
at $18 a bag for ffof plus the fact it doesn't last long I will save money mixing my own
it takes about 1.5 to 1.75 bags to fill a 20 gallon pot
12 pots that's about 20 bags of ffof soil at $18 a bag = close to $400 with tax and then you still have to buy some kind of amendment or fertilizer to keep it going since its short
I purchased everything listed above for about the same price and itll last me many consecutive grows..
I wont need to buy any more amendments for a long long while
I could have just got the tomato tone or happy frog tomato and vegetable for now and maybe tried to make another run with the same soil but id only be chasing deficiency for the entire grow and Id end up using more salt fertilizers to make up the difference
the way I want to save money is by doing my own manure compost pile outside and with my worms making vermicompost
those damn EWC are expensive as it adds up
I wanted to use more EWC in my soil mix but its ends up being a good bit pricey so I had to go 3/4 compost to 1/4 EWC for now
plus I adding about 1 or 2 cups EWC top dressing every 2 weeks
