What am I doing in those tents? Just growing some herb man
That actually looks really nice man. Any time ive opened happy frog its filled with rocks, huge chunks of bark like 4+ inches, and twigs the size of my fingers so i stopped using it cause i just didnt like that lol.Looks good to me.
Guess I could have waited on the seeds, oh well it's fun to try new things in a pinch
I reckon I'll let the seeds sprout and then burry the plugs in soil solos.
Curious to see how seeds do under these lights, hlg keeps em squat spiderfarmer makes em stretch IME

Hahaha you ain't lying dude, I was surprised at how few wood chips / chunks are in there.That actually looks really nice man.

For real, its like they get that mix straight out of a wood chipper man lmao.Hahaha you ain't lying dude, I was surprised at how few wood chips / chunks are in there.
There's usually a log or two
Hell yeah, I've got one bag of OF mixed in with all my HF everywhere.I used to mix a bag of ffof, with a bag of ffhf, and like 5-6 gallons of perlite, ran that for like 2 years and it did really well actually.
I might end up back in that mix after i experiment with Pro Mix, if im not fond im going back to ffof/ffhf/perlite.Hell yeah, I've got one bag of OF mixed in with all my HF everywhere.
I like the 50/50 mix it works really well.
Definitely think added perlite would be a plus, the OF has hardly any in it.
Found one for ya lolView attachment 1334473
Right on, it's actually the only soil I've ever grown in but if it's not broke don't fix it. Except maybe screen for tree branches hahaI might end up back in that mix after i experiment with Pro Mix, if im not fond im going back to ffof/ffhf/perlite.
Thats a damn tree branch lol
I only switched cause it went from 20 a bag to 45 a bag for the 1.5 cu ft of ocean forest. Then i went to mother earth, that did same thing, went from 17.99 a bag to 42.99 a bag, then roots organic 707 and im just not happy with that stuff at all. I just found that I can get 7 cu ft of promix bx for 50 bucks, so i got that coming in monday woth extra perlite to make it like the HPRight on, it's actually the only soil I've ever grown in but if it's not broke don't fix it.

Yoooo 7 cu ft for 50$? If that works well for you I may do the same holy crap. HF was 20 bucks at the store before I moved but I just paid $35 on Amazon for 2 cu ftI only switched cause it went from 20 a bag to 45 a bag for the 1.5 cu ft of ocean forest.

Yeah i was in shock when i saw that price. Amazon gets ya cause they give you "free shipping" but you are paying for it, they just bury it in the cost, i kinda hate amazon lately lol.Yoooo 7 cu ft for 50$?

Exactly lol, free shipping but the price of the item is raised the same amount shipping would costYeah i was in shock when i saw that price. Amazon gets ya cause they give you "free shipping" but you are paying for it, they just bury it in the cost, i kinda hate amazon lately lol.
I was doikg that at one point, going to New Hampshire for a while cause it was 15 a bag for the OF and tax free, so id go buy 8 or 10 bags and make ot worth my time lol.Exactly lol, free shipping but the price of the item is raised the same amount shipping would cost
Found out this morning a store about 90 miles away carries Fox farm. If they got the 20$ bags I may be road tripping next time
This is what the farm is forBut make sure you wait until you have lots of experience because you will eventually run into a problem and have to solve it on your own.
You are right, lots of great help to be found here! It just gets tricky when you use more generic products. I started with Gaia Green, it works well but under LED definitely needs a calcium and magnesium boost. Once you go to things like chicken manure and langbeinite though I don't think I've seen anyone else here using those so it gets trickier.This is what the farm is for
Lots of promix users on here that show great results. I just ordered a bale of bx and harvest hero perlite last night should be here Monday or Tuesday. Well see how it goes. Gonna feed with gaia green
Yeah me and you are along the same lines of thinking. I've only ever grown in Happy frog and that's worked out great for me because it's pre amended and blended. Like you said though running something like pro mix and mixing myself will bring me to a day when I have to make decisions and face problems I don't fully understand with my experience level at the time. My wife said the same thing, she said why don't you just go buy some cheap soil from the store and use your nutrients. I said I'm too new stillThere is a reason so many items on Amazon are in the $25-35 range that arent worth the plastic they are made of. I avoid Amazon as much as possible these days, they used to have good prices for decent quality but now they are flooded with white label products that are expensive for junk.
I use the ProMix BX with added perlite and dry ammendments, significantly cheaper than bagged preblended soil but you need to know more about what you are doing. I would highly recommend ProMix once you have the experience. Its cheap and consistent quality. But make sure you wait until you have lots of experience because you will eventually run into a problem and have to solve it on your own.
Plants are looking good! I see that GMO is starting to grow again, a few ugly outer leaves but the new growth looks good!
