Useful post coming up.....

These had 10 hours of light a day. Watered daily in 50/50 coco/perlite mix. Tap water plus or minus 400 ppm range. 10 or 15 ml of FF big bloom per gallon of water. About once a week they received 3 to 5 ml of tiger bloom added into that gallon, until about a month out. Last two week they just got water. Last two days they got non. (No big grow once in flower!) I found too much nitrogen produces smaller flowers, plus that crap is hard to flush out if you get a quick finisher. Ph’d to around 6 but always less than 6. Flowered ofc and 91 xmas in 3 gallon pots after veg in .75 gallon pots. Ccsxfc let in .75 gallon. All pots were top dressed with a layer of diatomaceous earth upon repotting. 2 600 watts hps dimmed to 50% in a 4x4ish area.

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.

Yeah sorry man i really like the state and actually get some clones and beans from maine clone ladies. I did like the stonington mix just it was infested

I really hate bugs and mites and once if gets out of COM hands and into a middle man they store it with all other brands sometimes outside on pallots

Soil is a game like stock I buy my soil by pallot at end of season for the next season and I usually pay around 8-12$ a bag no way i will pay the markup threw stores

2cu feet happy frog is like 8-10 bucks a bag by pallot if u wait until fall when they looking to unload end of year stock

I've used Stonington Blend, from a farm store that sold lots of other bagged soils, and didn't have any problems other than the price, lol!

I am sure but all it takes is one time and one bad bag to make a headache you do not want

I will not use chemicals EVER so if i get infestation I have to use temps to make living conditions not suitable for them

Been several years since I have a bug of any kind I literally inspect every bag before i bring it inside when i use soil

Anal and overkill yes but I dont have a grow tent or a few plants

I got mutli rooms and over a bunch mothers

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.

Their lobster compost is even more in demand. I also recommend the sprout island seed starting mix.

Good quality products with out question. Never had any issues with bugs in any of their products.

Can you grow in just the lobster compost? Obviously with a few added things but not much?
