Don’t order that from amazon. Order direct from them. Honestly with tax here it’s 26 bucks. Never buy that stuff from amazon. ProMix could be an alternative.

I just looked at walmart website and its there for 25 bucks for happy frog and I think 28 for Ocean Forest. Promix should be availible at most garden centers, Hydro shops, Nurseries.

Where are you at? US is 25. So it is more a logistical thing for you. Its cheaper but still. If you get 2 bags for that price its equal to what we pay for one essentially

With a 50/50 mix of FFOF and HF you’ll be in a VERY good position if you choose to go
organic or if you wish to stay indoor soil grower. Just keep amending the soil and it will last forever.

Ok I searched and found 12 of frog :frog: and 12 of ocean :ocean: in Walmart, came to 38 buck I think that’s the lowest

Ima be dropping some seeds soon so I really wanted to have them in a good medium , yeah will probably stay in soil for a time , until I get bored and ready to try hydro again

Did you try the dealer locator on the Fox Farms web site? You would be surprised at how many local retailers of fox farms soil you will find. It is a very common product sold in lots of farm stores as well. Some places sell it for less then $20 a bag.

Im in michigan and i get ffof for 1867 a bag. Happy frog and cocoloco are 16 and 17 and change a bag. Take a look at canna coco bricks and if u have the time for watering alot more than wwith soil try canna coco. Total inert media and the growth rate is remarkable so far for me. Plant seems double sixed the ones i grew in soil. Little over a month in flower and have inch and a half round buds. Maybe even bigger but looks about 1.5 inches or so. Canna coco with jacks 321 is the shiznit

Yes you start feeding in coco immediately as it has zero nutrientd. Follow Hellraisers coco grow with Jacks.

Coco would be a great start. Super easy to flush if problems occur. Hard to overwater as it dont hold water like soil does. There are alot of plusses in growing with coco. Growth rate seems to be a third quicker than soil. No dirt smells when watering. Only downside is u need to give it water almost everyday to keep it from drying out but man the way they grow in coco. 1 month flower in coco looks like 2 or better months in soil. And besides pusing it a bit too hard. Ive had no issues at all with the one in coco thats flowering now. It has the most beautiful colors ever. Either way ull het a good plant listening to these guys.
