I have been looking around, and they all seem to be the same around 15 to 20 dollars for a bag of each.

Does anyone know where to get the soils for cheaper than that? Peace

newbie, that is some pretty good prices, but I wonder how much shipping is?

From my scanning around after I posted this, somehow i missed this place the times before, Humboltorganics.com has it for even cheaper than constantlygrowing.com

But once again shipping, it might be alot higher than other places,dunno, gonna find out tho.

Yea i cheched on the humbolt organics place, and for like 5 or 6 bags altogether shipping was like $300, way to much. I am sorta stumped on what to do now, I don't remeber it being that much last year.

Yes! Mix your own...

Here are two very good organic soiless mixes...

LC’s Soiless Mix #1:
5 parts Canadian Spaghnam Peat or Coir or Pro-Moss
3 parts perlite
2 parts wormcastings or mushroom compost or home made compost
Powdered dolomite lime @ 2 tablespoons per gallon or 1 cup per cubic foot of the soiless mix.
...Check the link in my sig line below for cheap earthworm castings. Free shipping to the eastern USA.

Or, if you use Pro Mix or Sunshine Mix...
LC's Soiless Mix #2:
6 parts Pro Mix BX or HP / Sunshine Mix (any flavor from #1 up)
2 parts perlite
2 parts earthworm castings
Powdered dolomite lime @ 2 tablespoons per gallon or 1 cup per cubic foot of the soiless mix.
If you use a 3 qt. saucepan as “parts” in the amounts given above, it equals about 1 cu. ft. of soiless mix and you can just dump in a cup of powdered dolomite lime.

...Either one of these mixes is as good or better than FFOF. :moon:

Hello all,

I have used FFOF and a brand I get locally from Home DePot...Kellogg's brand organic soil (chicken shit instead of crab,fish, and shrimp meals) and I have found it to be better then FFOF and is half the cost at 5 bux a bag.

But what I want to say is that FFOF is highly over-rated and B1's recipes are as good or better.....I think the hype about FFOF is more closely linked to the production location then it's efficacy as a good soil.

But thats my opinion and everyone is entitled to it.:)

at 25$ a bag that is hype! I'd find a local alternative to that.

I have come to the same conclusion.

KELLOGG'S also makes a soil amendment, called "AMEND" ... it's made from rice hulls and 'sludge', etc ... although I haven't used it yet with pot, I grew bitchin' tomatoes using 100% AMEND, no soil ...
