Can I mix foxfarm potting soil with happy frog jump start
Yes. I'm not sure of the best ratio though. You may also mix in more perlite to make it go a bit further.Can I mix foxfarm potting soil with happy frog jump start

Why? Whats wrong w gettiin a lil fancy?Dude, don't get fancy. Just use Happy Frog, and feed to suit.
Because when guys get fancy they depart from norms that we can help them with. People try to mix seventeen things together and wonder why their plants look like shit.Why? Whats wrong w gettiin a lil fancy?
And ffof doesnt?Because when guys get fancy they depart from norms that we can help them with. People try to mix seventeen things together and wonder why their plants look like shit.
Get fancy after you have some experience under your belt, is my advice. Happy frog works.
Of course it does, but it's hotter, and IMO, riskier. Mix the two, and I repeat, a newbie is stumbling into ground that makes it harder to be consistently successful.And ffof doesnt?
How did you find what works for you?Dude, don't get fancy. Just use Happy Frog, and feed to suit.
Got you... I work crazy hours so looking for water and let it do its thing...Try starting a plant in happy frog and transplanting into a container with half and half . Half ffof at the bottom of the pot and happy frog on the top layer . IMO bc happy frog won't burn your seedlings but ffof has more nutes for your plant when it gets bigger .
I can't remember the water I use but I buy it from a dollar store it's ph is 6.3 I'll look at the brand when I get home .
I have a life strategy of starting simple and adding complexity only as it adds value. In my growing, I use less additives than most people, and still manage to grow good weed. I have learned that getting light, water and pH right are the basics. Soil/substrate/growing technology(hydro vs soil vs coco) are only relevant in how the support the goals of getting water and nutrients to the plant. Then any major nute line will work. I think it makes sense to stay with one manufacturer and follow their instructions( though I always use less than the recommended strength). I use Botanicare nutes, but would be perfectly successful with a lot of other lines. Nitrogen is nitrogen.How did you find what works for you?
the ratio of: bottom 1/4 (Ocean Blend) - fill 1/2 Happy Frog - then last top off with 1/4 use Ocean Blend --- this way you have the "mychrroiza" in the middle for better root developmentTry starting a plant in happy frog and transplanting into a container with half and half .

That's Kool n all but you growing outside I'm indoors you have natural light, oxygen...I see a lot of plants do well outside..I'm in DC if I put an empty pot outside its gone....so I'm just asking questions cus you have ppl that may have done it so asking to see if something will work or not is ok.....I test Dwc going to test coco coir....I have a life strategy of starting simple and adding complexity only as it adds value.

On the soil, I prefer Happy Frog precisely because it doesn't have a lot of nutrients in it. It's pH is reasonable, and it has excellent drainage. I see a lot of posts on Facecrack of guys who start with FFoF wondering why their plants are burned, so I steer newbies away from it.
As to your goal of not having to do too much, by using a bland soil, I fertilize about every third watering, which requires 3 min of mixing. I do very little else. I don't pH my water, I add no additives. I don't defoliate, I don't train, I don't prune. If you're spending a lot of time, you may be engaged in what I consider to be low value activities. But those are just my opinions from 40 years of growing.
Here is what a couple of my low maintenance plants are looking like. YMMV
