5 gallon smart pot.
Medium: Fox Farm Ocean forest mix with Earthworm castings
The ocean forest is my go to for soil, been good to me over the years.

I started rocking the ocean forest a few months ago. I cut my teeth with this stuff back in 2002. I started with miracle grow soil and didn't have the best of plants. On a whim I bought $15 bag of the ocean forest and it blew the doors off the miracle grow. I soon switched to hydro but I always end up doing some dirt every now and then. Now I'm using soil so I don't have to be home every night to water. I can water them all good and they'll go at least a couple days before they wilt. Cheers and good luck on the demo run.

Ocean forest works the best for me. I just add a few thing to the soil and the lady’s love it. The right pH don’t need to feed them anything for the first month while still in veg. Which works great for me. By the time I start adding nutrients it will b time to flip in to flower and the lady’s in the flower tent will be ready for harvest. Talk bout time Management. I got a sunny d og I gotta repot tomorrow same size. I’m look forward this run.
:hump:

Same here bout starting in 1998, with miracle gro soil. Back then it was only option i could score being in small town midwest. And hell i used it for first 10yrs or so. Lol. At first i didnt no if it was somthing i was doing wrong or the miracle grow.. So after 4-5 grows i noticed it was my fuck ups causing a mid grade final product being a rookie.lol
All tho it might not have any of the goodies that the ocean forrest or happy frog has , it wasnt a bad base soil if u mixed in other nutes in it.
That was 20yrs ago and im sure its def not worth using these days .
I havnt bought bags of soil in yrs once i got wise and started reusing the soil after each run. Last time i did buy bagged soil its was 5 bags of happy frog and 3 bags ocean forrest when i started my compost pile. Quality compost, and perlite for my soil runs and same mix for hydro-soil pots.( smartpot with compost -soil mix on top of 5 gallon bucket like dwc) there might b a fancy name for it.lol )
But ya i agree any fox farm soil is better than miracle grow. I like the only organic bottle nute fox farm has the big bloom i think it calld. Many years ago i tried tiger bloom and it was ok but once i learned it wasnt organic i havnt used it since.
But u brought up miracle gro when u started growing and it sounded familiar..lol thx✌

Also good for sifting old soil(on a small scale) them fan covers.

Nugs looking scrumptious.
Thanks , they are pretty tasty, the hash is kicking my ass.

Speaking of sifting,
You should give the Growstones a try .
I’m running them about 50/50. This has cut my medium waste in half, increased the cycling speed, increased my yields n cut costs . I run enzymes during flower, n after I sift, I rinse with the hose, drain n put in a tote til needed .

Ocean forest is one of the better bagged soils but it's a little pricey.

The wife & I were at Ace yesterday and I saw a very nice bagged soil for $10 (1.5 cu ft just like FFOF).
That was full price -- and Ace isn't known for having good prices...

It was G&B organics "blue ribbon blend".

I'd run it! 8-)

"A blend of Canadian sphagnum peat moss, screened fir back fines, recycled forest products, pumice, chicken manure, worm castings, bat guano, kelp meal & alfalfa meal"

Coast of Maine organic soil is good stuff for anyone in the New England area(might be available elsewhere) $10 for 2 cu ft at the local farm store. Needs some extra perlite and maybe a couple cups of dry amendments to get it through flowering.
Yeah most bagged soils are made to not burn seedlings and have to be boosted in order for mature plants to finish properly.
I usually just top dress with a blend like bio fish by down-to-earth.
If there’s room in the pot, it’s also a good time to add some compost.

IMG_0741.JPG Super Silver Hashplant IMG_0741.JPG I'm not sure if this is the right thread to ask about a chuck but I'm hoping you guys will let me know.
I popped a Super Silver Hashplant by Bohdi that was female and was a hashplant leaner, kind of a stretch indica. I hit her with some headbanger pollen(mix of 3 males). I ended up with around 100 seeds and have some growing now.
I'm just wanting to know if there would be much influence from the SSH where the female was a hashplant dominate female?

I think I am about to do a little OF run, it works well. I started with it and it has been consistent in my area. I usually like to add perlite but skipped it this time. I am hunting through a few beans for a new Mom. I popped twenty, five each of a few different things. I am down to four ladies; 2x GPS Dreamcatchers, a Shoreline Genetics’ Candy Shop and a Beanhoarder Mango Haze backcross. Just got a bunch of new gear, I have some packs of GPS I won’t be looking at again for a long time. I genuinely like Blue Dream, so I went ahead finished the pack of DC but man...GPS/Heisen Inc. is a shady outfit. Caveat emptor. That means watch your asses, buyers. They are poor communicators with paper thin ethics.

I thought heisen paid you alot of money for a website that you never finished and than you went missing on the first sale day with loads of technical errors. Do you really want to go down this road. There is alot of people over on the other forum that witnessed how everything went down and it took the dude a week to recover from trusting you. Like seriously can you just admit you over sold your abilities and his first website was terrible and everyone knew it. Just move on man and stop bringing up old shit.

You pulled the plug with no warning, don’t try to re-write shit with me. Peddle your lies elsewhere, fuckface.
