I recently started a couple Cinderella Jack autos in Lush. I mixed in about 1/2 lb of natures living super soil mix in the bottom half of the 3g airpots. They’re loving it so far.I was just curious if I’m the only person using the roots organic lush soil? I’ve seen other people using the roots organic soils but not specifically the “lush” one. I’ve looked all over the internet and haven’t found a single grow journal or grow video of any type with someone using this soil. I’m thinking maybe it’s a new one for the roots organic brand. So I just figured that anyone who likes roots organic so far with this grow the roots organic alphas been amazing! I put my plant in right once it sprouted in the rock wool. It was about 3 inches tall, and I just put it directly into a 5 1/2 gallon airpot and just watered it with nothing but ph’d water between 6.2 and 6.8 (no extra nutrients at all) I did add a insanely small ammount of cal mag in two watering a but that’s it. And I continued using just water alone and the plan grew super fast and super healthy with absolutely zero ph burn, or and type of lockout or any issue at all as far as I could see all the way up to switching to the flowering cycle. Then once I got into flower I started slowly adding the fox farm trio starting at 1/4 strength and two and a half weeks after starting with the nutes I’ve got up to 3/4 strength and I’m concidering just staying there because everything seems to be going good. I know I’m rambling on but I just figured I’d put this out there for what it’s worth. I decided to use this soil because I asked the guy at the grow store if he would recommend a soil I could just put a seed in and water without having to add nutes or anything ( basically a “lazy mans” grow haha) and this seems to be exactly what I was hoping for.

I have been considering this soil and glad to find this thread. I am curious, how many 1.5 cubic foot bags of Lush does it take to fill a 10 gallon fabric pot? Thinking about running 10 gallon pots with Lush for an outdoor grow this spring. Thanks guys!Costing $40/1.5cuft likely gets people to look at other options but for being a *Just add water* type of mix and the no drama, no burn, no pH lockout way it grows good pot might be worth it for many out there
I have not used Lush, because I've never seen it in my local grow shop (formula 707 is the only Roots soil I've seen, so far). However, with fortified organic soils like that, you should expect 4-6 weeks worth of nutrients, without needing to feed anything but water. Then I'd probably consider one of their tea mixes.I recently started a couple Cinderella Jack autos in Lush.

Did you ever need to amend or feed during your grow/s with Lush? It’s my first time using it and I’m just wondering what to expect in the later stages of flower. It’s still hard to find any info about it online. They’re about 3 weeks old at the moment.
Probably one with some left over. I use 7 gallon pots and one bag will fill two pots with a little left over if I recall correctlyI have been considering this soil and glad to find this thread.

Looking killer bro! I've got a Mac Dragon finishing up right now, can't wait to see how everything comes together in a couple more weeks.I used it for my last DFG Mac Dragon 2x2 micro grow and it was fantastic.
I'm currently using Fox Farm soil, have been for two years, any differences between these two soils that you can tell?I used it for my last DFG Mac Dragon 2x2 micro grow and it was fantastic. Went to the hydro store to buy more and they said the price doubled so they stopped ordering it. I was super disappointed, but needed soil so went with FFOF.
You’ll be happy with the lush, it’s great stuff. I amended with roots Terp Tea Bloom and molasses. A little fish sh!t and recharge to keep the microbes going and it’s low maintenance easy sailing the whole way through!

I also have another dragon in the tent entering week 3 flower in Roots Lush. I’ve given a compost tea and top dressed with a small amount of Gaia Green this time. Fish Sh!t and recharge every now and then for a refresh and looking good! It truly is a low/no maintenance product.View attachment 1321195View attachment 1321196View attachment 1321197
I’ve never used FF, so I can’t speak to that. From what I hear, the Lush will feed for 8 weeks while Ocean Farms will feed for 6. So if you veg for a while you’ll need to amend a little more in the FF.I'm currently using Fox Farm soil, have been for two years, any differences between these two soils that you can tell?
I've never tried this before and was told just this method last night. Vegging in a small pot (he uses 3 gallon) then transplanting into a bigger pot (10 gallon) before flipping. The guy who shared this to me last night is probably considered a pioneer in the cannabis world, but some openly debate that. Anyways he swears by this method and just uses water. A far cry from the topping your soils with dry amendments routine, which is my current regimen. I can imagine you do go through some soil using his method but probably save on having to buy anything other than just the Roots Organics Lush soil. So I'm gonna follow his suggestion and try a pot or two with just the soil and water.I’ve never used FF, so I can’t speak to that.

The way I used the Lush was I vegged for 4-6 weeks in a 1g and then transplanted and flipped into a 7g. The idea was to transplant into a fresh pot of soil to avoid having to feed as much as possible. That’s probably what I’ll do this time around with the FF since it’s worked for me before.

I would be interested in hearing how that works for you. I’ve been tempted to try water only while running Lush, but it’s just as easy to top dress once or twice and not have an issue late in flower. You should do a journal or post some updates here if you try it. I have four seedlings that just popped, I’m hoping to get a couple females. If I get more than one, I’ll try this method with one of them.I've never tried this before and was told just this method last night.

That sounds right to me, I don't know anything about this soil and topping midway into flower seems like a must do for great results. I'm not questioning that at all, I just might end up doing the same just to be safe.That sounds right to me, I don't know anything about this soil and topping midway into flower seems like a must do for great results.

If you do it I definitely recommend separating your veg and flower with a transplant into a larger pot. I started doing it because the first time I ran Lush I had issues midway through flower that I didn’t fully recover from. Admittedly I didn’t have the space dialed in and temperature was an issue, so it could’ve been that. Anyway, the results were so damn good before the issues that I wanted to give it another go and run the Lush the whole way through and transplanting right before flip just made sense. I still top dress mostly out of precaution, but the bud turned out nice, and it’s a breeze.
Thanks man! I checked in on your grow a couple days ago, and again today. It’s looking great. I started growing in hydro about 2 years ago. I respect anyone who does it well. It was a lot of fun, but challenging and labor intensive! Once I discovered how much easier organic is, I haven’t looked back lol. I’d like to give it another try sometime in the future when I’m a little more experienced, and have a solid plan and setup.Looking killer bro!

in da mail ..I use Lush and I have been using it for about 2 yrs. Left alone without adding anything to the mix, it will eventually run out of gas mid to late flower. It's a great mix if you can find it priced reasonably. Most places that carry it in my area want around $30 a bag .... except one. Grow Green Michigan sells it for $18 a bag, but you have to pick it up yourself and right now they are only open Mon-Fri 1pm to 6pm.
