I use about 5-6 pallets of Organic soil a year and have tried pretty much anything that looked promising and in my experience all the company's from time to time have inconsistent product >>IE: too hot, fungus gnats, mold, algae, sticks,rocks etc..I even found a Skoal can in a bag of Black Gold once......
I used Ocean Forest until about 2 1/2 years ago when I got a pallet that was nothing like it had been in the past>>it looked smelled and tested out completely different than all the Ocean Forest I used in the past
I made a slurry out of several different bags so I could test it and the hottest was 2400 PPM with a PH of 5.4 WTF?
So I called fox Farm and was basically told I couldn't have such high PPM levels or such low PH and it was probably my water......
When I explained how I made the slurry and tested it they didn't want to talk about it or refund my money or hear my side of it so I moved on to Roots Organic>>it can be a little inconsistent as well but compared to Fox Farm Ocean Forest it is an improvement!
I still have friends in Cali who use Ocean Forest and have great results so I think it depends alot on where it was made.
All the bad soil I got came on a pallet that had been shipped from North Carolina, not California, like in the past......:pimp:

look im not saying fox farm is the greatest, im saying i like it the best out of everything iv tryd.... and i dont like when ppl make shit up about a product (expecially one that i really like) because they had a bad experience with it...like i said, iv been using it for roughly 3 years, and its been the same quality, consistently, and as far as i know, they have 1 facility where the dirt is made...IN CALIFORNIA ....i start seedlings in it and never get a brun....so i dont know where some ppl get that its to hot...but whatever, use what u want

I too use Pro-Mix. Mostly because it's the best organic for the price. I haven't used it yet. It's going to be my next grow.

I agree with the other dude, in the name of science and all who want true facts, u cant just say shit about fox farm, u need sources and proof.

word up! all i used is ff and i have no complaints, well other then my experimenting with my home brewed teas. fox farm is high in nutes and when u add more to it its over doing it. so what i do now is just add some phosuphous during flowering (keep it too a minnumum) and thats it. i use two ts of budswell per gallon and i dillute it with 4 gallons of pure water.

I didn't post this because I figure I'll get an equal amount of flack. But here goes.
I used to live in McKinleyville. I had a friend that worked there at the time. He told me.
I had another friend who works at a grow store that sells HELLA soil. He had a customer that got centipedes from FF soil. They infested his whole house. FF told the grow store it was their problem. It got ugly.
No science or links. Just heresay. From folks I trust.

So are you saying peoples experience with FF is "hearsay" or BS?
Growers experiences with soil and other products is just that >>>Their experience
We are all gonna have different results.
Some people love FF, some hate it, that's the reality, like it or not......

Bublonichronic,
What do you want exactly from people? Are you looking for a peer reviewed university study on Fox Farm? Not gonna happen....
People can really only share their experiences on here and you can weigh it and hopefully make a more informed decision.
If you want the low down on the product (how it's made, packaged, shipped, etc...) talk to Udanya Peace on here. He is a wealth of knowledge and he could tell you more about any of these brands and products than you could ever care to know.

isnt there a difference between saying "oh i had a bad experience because of***** problem i had".....and being like "i had a bad experience, so they must have changed their ingrediens or used up their good stuff and the company is getting worse"
all i ask for was where he got this "hearsay"....and no, his "friends" word on fox farms humis deposit dosent mean shit to me, expecially since i have NEVER had a problem...maybe some fungus gnats, lol.....but if its good for you, good, dont use it...it really makes no difference to me guy
