Sorry for the confusion but are you comparing the coast of Maine to miracle gro or just bagged soil in general? Or were you maybe referring to the soil I use now maybe comparative to miracle gro and that coast of Maine would be an upgrade? Bagged soil can definitely be a risk sometimes.
If you put a bag of sterile soil on a shelf next to garbage usually it get contaminated
Oh ok cool! Thanks for the heads up I appreciate it!
I'm in Maine, COM is super popular here. The stonington soil is popular among the folks that don't like mixing their own soil.Changing my soil to Coast of Maine Stonington mix next run to see what it can do for me, adding my own few touches to it however. Anyone used this? Looks like a good base, claiming to be good for a full run but we all know how that is. Hope everyone had a good week.
I think most of those are outdoor growers or green houses in main use it which is understandable it not bad and it a decent value and everyone likes to buy local including me But no way for indoor
I think it’s a gambling game with any bagged soil but i don’t have the time or space to build my own soil. Wouldn’t be ideal for my situation. I am gambling with Fox farm ocean forest, happy frog, perlite, dolomite lime, epsom salt mix right now. Soaking the pot a few times and letting dry out before planting into it. Seems to do decent just want something a little more reliable and stable. Going to be adding supplemental mycorrhizae next run in my mix as well.
Hell yeah. Having they been using outdoors, indoors, or both? Thanks for the insight. Appreciated greatly. Gonna probably go with it honestly.
I would not use it if they gave me a pallot for free goodluck
COM is not more stable it night and day the two companies
What medium do you grow in? And would you stick with the mix I’m already using fox farm mixture or would you go with coast of Maine? Not saying either are the best but these are what I’m gonna be choosing from more than likely. Anything you would recommend when it comes to a soil you prefer? I like to keep an open mind to all possibilities with the only stipulation being for sure, soil. It’s what I know and what I look to further understand to maximize not necessarily quantity, but quality for sure. Everyone welcome to chime in here, I want as many opinions, experiences, thoughts I can get. Thanks everyone
All mediums I would stick with the foxfarm I have used most soils and i do think its better overall then COM
I’d like to get my hands on that chocolate mint diesel. I have more than enough beans right now though lol
I hear ya i have serious bean problem
The stonington is almost exclusive to indoors. Way too expensive to do on a large outdoor scale, its more expensive than ocean forest by 5-7 dollars a bag depending on store. The lobster compost is the go to out doors to amend with. All you can do is try it out, I have had great luck with their products but clearly Dieseltech has had the exact opposite experience.
