I use coco loco for easy. I add ammendments 2-3 times each grow. Cost of soil and amendments $22 to grow 10-12 oz. I'm not changing.

Coco loco isn't pure coco. It's like ocean forest except coco instead of peat base. I water about every 3 days. They stay in 1 gal bags for 4 weeks with no food added. Then they are transplanted to 3gal bags. After 7-10 days in the 3gal i flip the lights. Then I wait until they start to flower and then I add dry amendments. 3 weeks later i add amendments again. Depending on strain that might be the last feed. 10-12oz in 4 months using 2-150w HPS in a 2x4.

Bag and a half per plant? How big are your pots man!

Nevermind, I worked it out to 15 gallon pots. each bag of FFOF has about 9 ish gallons.
Man, 1 gal pots of coco looks better every day! lol

No country has done great with flu. Now they want to open schools to infect children. Is that not child abuse?

I know in the 80a every parent puprosfulky infected there children with chickenpox because you can only get it once but they were wrong.

That's in Canada lol

Hey pipecarver I'm in the market for some new soil, not that I'm unhappy with cheap dirt Im starting to feel as if it holding moisture way to long. As I haven't had to water in almost a week and half now.

So is there a retailer for the stuff your using? Or online I'm in Ontario. I don't want to stand inline for hours at Lowe's or the depot to get promix.

Haha. That's awesome! For real? Just to stick it to the brits lol. Is that what you really call them?

If I was American I'd still want metric but I think I'd wanna keep the different gallons just because of that.

Hey man who knows with Americans.

A US dry gallon is almost the same as a can gal only the measure of liquid gallon is different. I'm not sure how they would lable the soil in the US but I'd assume it would be dry gallon no?

Yeah so a gallon of soil in the US if measured as a dry gallon should be almost the same as a Canadian gallon 4. 3l to our 4.4l so you'd figure it should be the Same amount when filling pots weird that you'd get less soil per bag in. Canada

Obviously I'm a new grower but the hydro store I purchased my FFOF and FFHF at it was much less then the prices you listed and my plants seem to be loving it very much

Ive used FFHF and FFOF for 2 decades.
Ive never paid over 14 bucks a bag for it either though. But i always go in with a couple people and buy a pallet and its even cheaper.
I use 9 bags per grow too.

Yea that's what I was going to say. The store I buy it at will charge you like 25$ if your just buying a bag or two but anything more then that the give you a good deal. Two weeks ago I bout two bags of FFOF and two bags of FFHF and I paid a total of 48$
