Hey guys, I just have a couple of questions. My plan was that in a couple of weeks, after my seedlings are a little bit bigger, i was going to dig holes outside, put soil in them, and plant my plants. The soil that I am going to be using is FoxFarm ocean forest. (is this good to use?) My question is: what should I mix in with it, if anything? i.e. Perlite compost blah blah.. and if so, what should my ratios be?

Can I use FoxFarm nutes with this soil or will it burn my plants?

from what i hear foxfarm should be fine... perlite and vermiculite help, but i've never planted "in the ground" before, so the ratios might be a little different... i use around 20-30% perlite and 15-20% vermiculite and the rest soil... if there's a plant store/nursery around you can find everything you need there! goodluck!

i use 30% perlite with my mixes the other part being Oceanforest by foxfam, and only foxfarm nutes. but in other soil... outside?... Becarfull as when its waters the soil may change your soils PH also, it will be tough to control temp and humidity.... Good luck!
