can some of you guys post some soil recipies and what seems to be working well with the plants? what is better just some plain potting soil or some organic soil?
some help and recipies on what to use is greatly appreciated.
If your after taste and quality.
Use nutes in your soil.
Like the moonshine mix or my mix.
But if your after more yield and not quite as tastey buds.
Soilless mix with top feeding is what you want to do.
From my experience this mix has been working wonders for me.
1/3 Happy Frog(or Ocean forest)
1/3 light warrior
and 1/3 chunky perlite.
Then I add 1/2 - 1 tablespoons of fruit n flower per gallon of soil.
Then mix it all up.
My plants have been loving this.
And it isn't that expensive.
One thng I really likie about this mix is it doesn't allow Knats to live in it really.
hardly any compared to everything else I've tryed.
You need to water more often with my mix.
Which is something I like also.
Every 2-3 days they need water.
I've used some mixes that didn't need water for a good week or week and a half.
thanks for the help JDOG. any more recommended soil recipies are appreciated. its pretty much impossible to find Fox Farm products around here.... what soil or soiless mixes are doing wonders????
i, too, am trying to understand this soil/soiless business ...jack, are you saying that a mix of ordinary compost and perlite will take a plant from seedling to finish ? what ratio ? no additional feeding necessary ?
