The long and short would be to stick with Ocean Forest. For a simple nutrient line I would stick with GH 3 part.Hi, which soil between FoxFarm Happy Frog and FoxFarm Ocean Forest should I get? Other suggestions are welcome, it's just that these two are actually at my local nursery. Somewhat related (and perhaps more difficult and contentious...), which nutrients should I add if I add any at all? The guy at the nursery said something like "you don't need to mess with nutrients if you get the Ocean Forest" (he didn't have the Happy Frog at that point in time). Agree? Disagree? If I should add nutrients, can you recommend something SIMPLE and preferably cheap for a beginner? I actually have two plants in flower stage now (see my previous posts), so maybe they need something? They have been in nothing but Ocean Forest soil. I also have stuff just starting out, so if it was a mistake not to add nutrients in the veg stage, I could fix that now.
I am out of soil and the new guys will need to be transplanted soon. Hence the immediate question about soil!
Thanks!
did you explain to him you are growing cannabis, he gave you somewhat incorrect information. initially you don't need amendments but as the plant grows it will need added amendment for sureThe guy at the nursery said something like "you don't need to mess with nutrients if you get the Ocean Forest"
Thanks!

What is a deaddrient?
50 mix with happy frog is bad no way any mix like that sustains 45 days optimal growth, maybe with the ocean forest alone you can get by 20-30 daysI use both.
Seedling stage - happy frog only
Veg- 50/50 mix HF and FFOF
Flower - FF trio line up
Solo watering needed and calmag can be introduced later
Uppotting into 50/50 mix you have enough nutrients to get you by for 30-45 days before nutrients are needed. Usually by that time, if you’re indoors you can flip to flower and start introducing your nutrients.
Best of luck!
I wouldn’t suggest it if it didn’t work for me. To each their own and we all have our own way, I’m just sharing mine.50 mix with happy frog is bad no way any mix like that sustains 45 days optimal growth, maybe with the ocean forest alone you can get by 20-30 days
or just go 100% happy frog and go hydronutes from the beginning
hydro nutrients works, which is why people use them. is a trap like super soil is. one is sometimes preferred over the otherThank you GreenG.
What bunch of hookey dookey. It’s an entire cradle to grave commercial joke. Once they got you, you cannabis grower, they got you by the short hairs. Just what I want to do ship water across the ponds.
I used to run a 2:2:1 ratio of happy frog, ocean forest, and perlite. Worked amazing, would get about 4 or 5 weeks without any nutrients and then i only ever fed the trio at 1/2 strength. I stopped using it because i didnt like mixing soil anymore, and the happy frog i would get, was always loaded with huge sticks, bark, and rocks which i also didnt care for. I would pull them out when mixing if i saw them.50 mix with happy frog is bad no way any mix like that sustains 45 days optimal growth, maybe with the ocean forest alone you can get by 20-30 days

I get 3+ weeks out of Promix before I start seeing light lime coloring in the leaves so @ around 3 weeks I'll start a light feed. Starting in Solo cups then transplanting and watering at around 2 weeks they get a boost from the new soil then when they need fluid again its a light feed. of 2/2/2/.5 ml/gal M/G/B/FI wouldn’t suggest it if it didn’t work for me. To each their own and we all have our own way, I’m just sharing mine.
If you water correctly with little to no run off and don’t waste the nutrients in the soil you can 100% get by 30-45 days.
Edit:
This is day 46 in Veg no nutrients added, 50/50 mix with watering only with calmag and foilar spraying.
