I recommend happy frog as a seedling soil, then mix the 2 soils 50/50 for your main pot. I would add rice hulls for aeration. You should be in good shape, good luck

For seedlings, I like Fox Farms Light Warrior. I agree with those who recommended mixing Happy Frog and Ocean Forest. I also add a good amount of perlite and/or rice hulls. Earthworm castings are a good amendment, too.

I use one third each by volume in my 5 gallon fabric or airpots. This makes for a consistent requirement of 4 quarts of water needed for slight run off. Every watering, no matter the age of the plant. I like the KISS method of growing..

Doing the same here, 50/50 with added aeration. Happy Frog seems to have enough on it's own but the Ocean Forrest is a little thick, hence the added aeration. (like pumice rocks)

I went with ocean forest and 707 mixed 50/50 and am happy so far. 2.5 weeks in to veg and all good so far.
