Thank you !!
Have you considered using coco/perlite?

I like Tupur. It’s not really a soil, but it works well in the drain-to-waste method I favor.

I mix my own soil using a base of Super Soil; that is a product, not the cannabis super soil. For weed, I mix 2 Cu ft of SS, 1/2 cuft of coir and 1/2 cu ft perlite, 3 cups of lime, 2 cups of gypsum.
So roughly 3 ft^3 at a time. How long do you let it rest before using?
I've heard of people getting uneven results with Fox Farms products. Apparently the soil is made somewhat locally and you can get bugs and variation bag to bag. I fear bugs so I stay in hyrdo LOL

My experience with Happy Frog is that it worked great for 2 months. It then ran out of nutrient with a figurative clang. I salvaged the grow by feeding with Gen Hydro 3-part until the plants were done.

I use recipe 420 too and it hasn't let me down yet
Thank god, could you imagine having it run out of different nutrients at different times and you were trying to figure out what was deficient? That would be hell for a new grower.

6 hrs to a day. It's well mixed, in a cement mixer.
Oh and I just happen to have a cement mixer! I keep flirting with soil but you saw what happened to my citrus tree LOL

I use Happy Frog currently. I’ve learned at 3 weeks I have to start feeding cause the nutes have run out. Fairly satisfied with it.

Easy store bought soil for beginners.
Seedings-FF happy frog
Veg-60-70% happy frog, 30-40% FF ocean forest.
Bloom 75-80% FF ocean forest 20-25% happy frog.
You can get by on just that learning in the beginning

What supplemental nutrient works for you?

I am using the FF Trio plus KelpMeKelpYou. I’m sure there are much better nutrients out there, but I figured the FF nutes should work well with the FF soil. So far so good I think. I am a rookie though! Here’s my girl at Week 4.
