Best Soil To Use For Growing

Hey you guys looking for good soil with no issue with Pestana easy to work with.
I use pro mix hp before I did sunshine mix 4 but there are no nutrients in either one as I like to give them what they get. I use large chunk perlite and some worm castings and have just started mixing in and watering with caps bennies also known as biowar I believe I use the perlite to keep them from holding moisture. I like to water every three days in veg and work up to every other day in bloom
 
I see all these people mixing bunch of stuff to make some "great soil" and I have tried it too. But personally I get fantastic results with "ocean forest" by foxfarm. I add a very small amount of perlite to it but you don't have to do that since ocean forest already has some in it.
 
Not for like 2-4 weeks. My first feeding was in the middle of week 2 but I just rushed it, nothing went wrong but I keep hearing that ocean forest has enough nutrients to support the plant for almost a month or so. start following they're schedule as of week 2 or 3. I would cut everything in half though.
 
Ffof here for 4+ yrs. I go about 4 weeks going to 4.7 gal from clones in solo cups. I do add 1 cup powdered dolomite lime, 25% perlite (I just pour and guess) per bag of OF. Always great plants.
 
Great info that you guys, also another question where can I get granddaddy purp seed from been looking
 
I make super soil. I have a few recipes that work depending on how long you grow for.
This allows me to recycle my soil. I just re amend it when I want to use it again. I've used the same soil for over 5 years. I find that the soil I recycle is nat free and full of micro organisms. Plus I don't have to buy soil anymore. The mix: Base soil to start: I use pro mix and another with a little more nutrients added. Then I use blood meal, bone meal( there are vegan subs if you'd like) earth worm castings, bat guano( phosphorus heavy) Dolomite lime, trace mineral( azomite), Eason salt, perlite, microhyaze... This also allows me to skip bottled nutrients and ph problems. No my plants aren't as huge but they have no synthetic bottled nutes either and I have the piece of mind that they are as organic as I could make it without going vegan. Which I may try this year.

Not for about a month. Ffof does not burn seedlings or clones.. people just over feed and miss ph
This is an awesome point.. it's not the medium itself, it's the following incorrect feeding charts.. need to cut to 1/4 of what they tell you.. then your golden
 
Mj seeds nl has grand daddy purps fem seeds, not sure if they are any good but I should know in 4 months or so.

What's the soil recipe. Looks good
 
FFOF is not great. N ppms around 300. Anybody ever do soil tests? If they did, would they know what they are looking at? Fe way too high on FFOF, PH off, High K...........
