IHey fellow cultivators!

If you are purchasing soil still i would most definitely check out the vermi line by these guys.
I have used empire builder, ocean forest, happy frog, basement, and by far this is such a great light airy mix, just might need a little more perlite. A great base for your own soil creations :)

Home Depot had a vegan blend. I'm now buying the cheapest organic soil I can find. $3.50/cf. Amend as I go. Seems to be working well.

That might have been where I saw it..I was there for a min.
I got a bag of Kellogs,,,"organic based" potting soil o_O
I want to stop using that because I heard it might have human waste in it :eek:
I dont want shit in my soil anymore..

yea they gave me a free bag of it to check out - it's fairly new to the market - but its really nice - definitely nicer than that sanctuary soil....

not too airy either - i like it so far but just start using it in veg

I had a bag of Vermiblend just laying around the house so I mixed it 8:1 with ProMix HP, then mixed in some Happy Frog Fruit & Flower 5-8-4

I hope the 420 on the bag isn't just a marketing ploy and it turns out to be a pretty good mj mix

well, it is but it isn't - i don't really think it is as much as it's to let you know that its good for cannabis - it does seem like a perfect mix for it - thats how i mix my soil now - i use peat and coco but coco mainly as an amendment for added aeration

the best soil i believe for cannabis, is peat based lightened with coco - so if you ask me, they're completely on the right track with that mix

The ingredients are killer for cannabis growth, I use/used every one myself, and my niece works at a florist and they use fir bark exclusively

Hi Krinken, thanks for sharing that. What's the price point on that? How much do you get for the price? I liked the Eden's Valley I got for a decent price early this year, but the gals said it's typically a lot more (I think she said something like close to $17/2'cu bag), just ridiculously expensive unless you're comparing it to something like Pro-Mix. Which, it turns out, my local Lowe's-down is carrying on the regular. A-FLIPPIN'-MAY-ZING. Just sayin'. They don't carry Espoma products and since they've opened I've been hitting them up. I'm sure the Espoma would sell up here.

I just saw that recipe 420 soil at a really large legitimate flower nursery yesterday and was wondering to myself if it would be any good.
