    I use that same happy frog with 5 gallon pots, 4 gallons of happy frog and1 gallon worm castings with 4-4-4 nutes and 2-8-4 nutes 50/50 ratio using 3 tbsp per gallon and i add in a little more perlite to keep it light. Grow under mars hydro 150 watt light and i finished my last two white widow autos in 9 weeks total with 140 grams.

    Definitely 💖 Fox farms products I've been growing now for a few years now and truly love it but I truly wouldn't preach that 🙌 all u need to grow 😮because I truly been just doing exactly what you said for now 3 years and knowing what you're ph and ppm are so important by buying this blue lab equipment I've been growing now so much better so as preaching to a new grower and buying cheap ph and ppm pens are not worth the money but definitely love growing

    Fox farm says that Happy Frog needs a fertilizer to be added to it twice a grow season and ocean forest doesn’t need any fertilizer for first 4-6 weeks.

    Trying the light warrior from fox farm. In my experience it doesn’t retain moisture well enough to germinate constantly adding water after a week still no germination. I have miracle grow seed starting soil in the same small green house that retains moisture well. I feel like I got burned.

      You really shouldn’t use synthetic nutes at all to be honest, properly tuned organic nutes will always produce a much better end result... More importantly though, why the hell would you ever pay the premium for organic soil just to screw it up with synthetic nutes???

    SOHUM is the best to me but it cost. Ocean Forest can be a little hot in some batches.
    So I’ll leave a Gallon size hole 🕳️& put plane coco coir for seedling 🌱 to have a little time b4 it hits the Ocean Forest. Also I add Langbeinite at the start to new bag cuz I find it stops yellowing later on. Ocean Forest is amazing but it’s missing a little something.😉.

      Let your soil dry in a large bin or on a tarp for a week or so before use. Through that week, churn it up every so often. Haven't had a gnat issue since I started that.

      It's more likely that you bought a bag that has been exposed to the 🌞 and moisture from sitting on a palette or garage. Less like from them themselves I'd imagine. Though it definitely happens. After planting my companion flowers and plants I had a bad batch of organic soil. Mushrooms were my free gift that day...lol!
      So, yeah I basically cook all my soils now. Tge other commentator nailed it. Plus you can ammend it the way you want it before day one arrives.
      That sucks though. Especially, if you were counting on a single bad to be right and ready. A big let down for sure...

    when im starting a new cycle not from clones i plant my seeds directly into Happy frog its not a Hot soil like ocean forest or strawberry fields.. to me, Light warrior is not worth it.. i get near 100% germ rate with happy frog.. water pot, plant seed half finger nail deep, then i cover the entire pot with a plastic bag creating individual mini greenhouse type environments for the seeds.. keeps the soil perfectly moist never have to water again.. once seed pops i remove the plastic bags from the tops. However i do add Lime to my soil regardless of what im running..I find the lime or oyster shell (whatever fox farm uses) doesnt last all the way through my grow to keep the soil buffered.. Adding the extra lime allows me to never have to worry about PH.. I also add alittle Kelp meal since it is hard to over use kelp.. and it is PACKED with micro nutes.

    When you said to transplant for a second time to the ocean forest from happy frog I assume because you used all of the nutrients in like 3 weeks or so?
    What if you add natural nutrients and keep the happy frog in there? Or is it better to swap to ocean forest? I assume adding natural nutrients like bone meal, worms castings, etc would be great

    I learned u don't know until u try these different blends. Mother earth dirt is great. Coco has nothing in it. So for that reason alone it's easier with dirt. Coco I feel is a pain in the ass until u get your nutrients in line. It was going good then I let it dry out 2 much. Yeah no bueno. It did start out bigger. I guess I'll learn at some point.
