what should i add to my fox farms ocean forest????

Not me. It retains water well enough that I add a little more perlite for better drainage. It does drain faster than some cheap soils like miracle grow. I did a couple plants in mg alongside my reg stuff and the MG holds water a long time.

Hey man, thanks for the feedback..maybe I'll try it again because of what I've learned from this post!

Hey hey I posted thinking I was smart.because I attended grow class.Turns out the guy teaching was a kid 20 yrs old.but I was listening.Today I visited another man that was at the meeting/class.He's about 45 been a patient/ grower for years. He is good .This is what I was told today. first break up the soil because there are spots that can burn your plant.DO NOT ADD ANYTHING.That's what he said.If I want to add something.Add a little worm casting.Don't worry about veg food.The soil.Will do the first 30 days.Don't worry about ph down the soil will balance it's self.New you were trying to figure this out like me.Do it how you want.This is how the old dogs in oregon are doing it.peace

Well, I'm new to Fox Farm's lineup, but at this time I'm using 50% OF, 25% Perlite, and 25% worm castings. No nutes needed during veg unless you veg out long term (I like to veg 6 to 8 weeks, so I'll add some grow big later in veg). I'm very happy with their products so far --- and kudos to the RIU members who turned me on to them!!!!!!!!
