It's good from start to finish depending on pot size. Anything under a 10gallon pot MIGHT require mid-late flowering nutrients. Otherwise just add waterAnd this is a water only soil? Should i follow the same method mentioned above or is this soil good from start to finish?
Exactly its pretty good water only mostly, but you will need flower nutes. I usually use it from start to finish all I feed is high nitro bat guano in veg and high phosporus bat guano in flowerIt's good from start to finish depending on pot size.

Fox farm ime always had fungus knatsOk well you guys gave me 2 good soils to choose from I've never heard any negative things about coast of Maine and I'm always hearing negative stuff about Fox Farm the brand. I heard anything from the soil mix is too hot sometimes, it's known for having insects and blah blah. 2 people in this forum had hands on experience with fox farm wich gives me closure to try it. Thanks much for the info bro.
This is true but he/she asked what was the best "out of bag" soil...With all due respect to the good compatriots sharing here, and growing good herb, imo, one has to build their own if they want superior expression and results or get someone to build for them. and no I'm not saying vegan or vegetarian necessarily, but ProMix, SoHum, KindSoil, Coast of Maine, and FFoF, would never get recommended or allowed in my families homes, but that's just me, for they all have gross flaws. .. big ones, in my opinion, although they do serve a purpose for those who don't care about certain contaminants. When embracing / mixing with animal ingredients I look at their lifestyle and diets, as well as the lives of the plant inputs, any sprays/fertilizer before composting etc..
GMO potential, Arsenic potential, pathogen potential, hormone potential, heavy metal potential, P binding potential, Al leeching potential, compaction potential, aeration and drainage issue potential, and start using more robust ingredients, higher quality ingredients, vs taking the odd short cuts, and simpler routes, then big rewards do follow.. try taking the highest quality cleanest options available, if you want to see what you haven't seen, and want to know what you don't know- you won't regret it!
Do look forward to better, cleaner solutions available for everyone, no matter what country or continent..
sorry for the slackness in that dept. s:
meanwhile, I am MORE than happy to volunteer my time and help people build water only mixes, and help organize a list / source their ingredients out for them, anything they can't get at the store we can find online. Thats a lot of fun for me, so feel free. PM me or drop by.
Knowing exactly what's in our soil, oh man, feels soo good. It's one of the best assets someone can own, that and good lights.. best to choose wisely, I say, you are what you eat, and smoke, without a doubt, soil .. its more valuable then a new car to me!
We don't know what we don't know until we see it! There's always room for improvement, if you're willing to look hard enough..@DonTesla I know who I'm gonna talk to when I'm ready to make my organic soil! Thank you for your input. However, I've used Platinum for several years and had consistently great results. No deficiencies that were noticeable and only fed with spring water for 90%of the life. Everything seemed perfect. It's hard to see where it would need anything else besides what it has.
Would be honoured to have you do that one day, mate!I guess I'll know the difference after I try your soil recipe! @DonTesla
That was an antioxidant / mineral foliar and Uv experiment that was very successful at enriching the gland cells in the trichomes, the cultivar chosen for the run was Tight Dojo from BigWorm, it was a real tasty bitch no doubt .. strong too.Looks like the pink gravy strain!
I know the wetting agent used makes pro mix non organic can you educate me on anything else with pro mix. I use the ultimate organic one and add amendments when making my own soil from scratch so it can cook for a while.I also use sunshine natural and organic mix at times. I know about Fox farms and stay away from all of their products because they like to be metal heavy (amendments) and carcinogenic.With all due respect to the good compatriots sharing here, and growing good herb, imo, one has to build their own if they want superior expression and results or get someone to build for them. and no I'm not saying vegan or vegetarian necessarily, but ProMix, SoHum, KindSoil, Coast of Maine, and FFoF, would never get recommended or allowed in my families homes, but that's just me, for they all have gross flaws. .. big ones, in my opinion, although they do serve a purpose for those who don't care about certain contaminants.

If you're already down with amending your own soil, you are miles ahead, so I might kindly suggest comparing to a base of Vigoro Black Earth, coco, and fresh worm castings, if you have no compost available!!I know the wetting agent used makes pro mix non organic can you educate me on anything else with pro mix.
