Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil

Im going to go with FFOF soil.

this is my first grow. what do i mix this stuff with out the bag ? perlite? anything else? i need to know how much also.

My question

my question is after reading that ffof soil can burn a seedling is if i were to use ff plant mix with some perlite what is a good mix of perlite with that in a cup before i move it to a bigger pot of ffof soil. I was mainly wondering if when i move the plant (seedling) that sprouted in ff plant mix soil into ffof soil if it will mess up the plant or will it adapt ok having new soil around where the roots are in different soil.

They'll love it, don't worry. Mix ratio I don't know, i just mix what feels right with no clue as to amounts.

If you missed my last post about this stuff..here you go....it's awesome I tell ya...

Man, My plants tried to kiss me thank you for this mix......Even almost dead leaves are completely coming back to life. It's a mirical I tell ya...

Seedling thru 3 wks- 1 gal. OF / 1 gal. light warrior / 1/2 gal. Perlite / 2 tbsp. domalite lime per gal. soil

3 wks. on - 2 gals. OF / 1/2 gal. Perlite / 2 tbsp. domalite lime per gal. soil

this should make your world much much easier

i heard the same thing relaxed is talking about... mixing the ffof with light warrior something like this 2 parts ocean forrest 1 part light warrior, then a little extra perlite never hurts and i always add some extra lime to my mixes, i use sunshine mix #4 with hydroponic nutes, the advantage for you is you only use strait water assuming you use large enough pots, if you feel like it toss a few handfulls of worm castings in the bottom of the pot so it wont burn seedlings

yo relaxed what size pots are u talking about mixing 1 gal of with 1 gal light warrior and then onto 2 gal / 2gal?

can u clarify? details are everything thanks!

two 1.5 cubic feet of OForest and one cubic foot of light warrior should give you 27 gallons of soil A great soil to add a whole "shit" load of perlite too, lol. This is a good mix. I added a few cups of blood, bone, and kelp to this and am happy with a water only grow now. I would not add more dolomite to this. It comes heavy. Remember to mix it all then make a compost tea and soak it for a few weeks and longer to get it "cooking". This get the bacteria action going.

You could also use it straight. I use it straight from seed to harvest. I sparingly use nutes in veg. because it is so rich. I have not had any problems w/ nute burn from soil. LW has Mycorrizhae, OF does not. That is the only major difference between these two mediums. Although OF is a tad bit richer. I use LW for my cuttings.

Sup fellas, well I'm a first time grower as well and did quite a bit of research on the fox farm lineup, what I did was use "happy frog" when they were seedlings. Soil did get a little compact so I do suggest adding some perlite to the mix. Once I transplanted into 3 gallon containers I switched to "ocean forest" the guy at the hydro store told me it was there new mix with more perlite added, so far the soil is staying nice and fluffy! here is a pic they are 4 1/2 weeks from sprout!
