Ok................. I am going back to my best grows, I just need to make a decision the last piece and that is Pro Mix or Ocean Forest, I am done with Coco Coco for now, just way to fucking messy and to much fucking watering..........

I'm not the biggest fan of either.

I like "POTTERS GOLD" in my part of the country, for any base soil.....30 days of available ferts and into feeding it goes. No bugs and great pH balance - long term too!

You've done coco, so I might lean to the ProMix as thumper says...if you like that style.

I'm growing in promix organic vegetable and herb mix right now. Too soon to give a report yet. It's way cheaper than ocean forest for me plus i can buy it at the hardware store.

4 years pro mix user here . its quality and its cheaply price . tried every soil used except the homedepot black gold its brand new it looks very good we will see . any ways . pro mix xp has perlite in it you don't need to add any more just use it or add more up to you it will dry out faster with perlite .

When I ran coco, I had to water it less than promix & FFOF, but it was 100% coir w/zero pearlite.

(I topped it with a fresh layer of coco because the roots were exposed.)

I'm in Canada and FFOF isn't available but I did use a potting soil and now use pro mix hp.
@Olive Drab Green there is a pro mix that is coco based but most, as stated, are peat based.
Anyway, I love the control with pro mix. I'm using Botanicare pure blend pro grow and bloom and I like the predictable rate it dries out so its easier to plan and track.

Ya don't need anything fer fox farms mate. The soil is on point as the kids say. But I like to mix it with worm castings and dr earths organic fertilizer with compost and perlite but thats only if i'm going for the long game. Overtime, 15th inning whatever ya want to call it. I'm talking 45 day veg here people. I'll never use anything but fox farms ocean forest.
