Hello again all, today I will be heading to my local shop and picking up a few things with new soil being one of them. Now I have it narrowed down to two types of soil and would like your opinion on the best one for a single light 2 plant closet grow from seed to flower. The first one is FoxFarm Ocean Forest potting soil and the second is Happy Frog potting soil. Thanks!

I use them both,and haven't had problems with either one. Some will advise to amend with some perlite for good drainage,I never have but I use smartpots. Good luck on your grow-SOHIGH-

Alright cool I think I may go with the FFOF soil. Quick question, they also carry some nice heated domes would it be better for them for germination and grow start?

the soils u mentioned are a little hot. guys do grow in them however. i personally mix my own. i would advise you to cut the soil with some peat and perlite which just adds volume. no nutritional value. and def add a little lime. hope that helps

I use a 50 / 50 mix of Fox Farms Ocean Forrest and Happy Frog in 5 gallon air pots. If you are going to use a standard pot (not an air pruning pot like air pots or smart pots) then I would recommend adding some perlite to the mix. The reason I use this 50 50 mix is I have found it VERY easy to support a living microbial root zone...
