All this organic talk makes me miss a michigan company called Michigannabis. That was awesome organic soil. Too hot for seeds, but i couldn’t need to add anything when i grew outside or inside. But sadly, they went under.

There is another place a bit away from me it is Growgreenmi dot com
Idk how profitable it would be, ill stick to my day job
But if you want you can try, i gave you the recipe
They understood and displayed it also. They had a suitable schedule that worked while not being excessive and using too many resources while avoiding 7’ plants indoors. Probably not indicas. People grow photos’ entire life at 12/12 indoors.
I see people only finding out here on ILGM in 2024 that 10h dark can induce flowering so them guys got like 12/12 but with the two extra hours’ light of a 14/10 while making a smaller footprint. Who wants to run 1000w HPS and MH’s 18 hours for just a plant? Now people order fancy “dirt” from the other side of the world and run water thru every day and at 18 hours lighting. If they were primitive then I like primitive.
I don’t think you know which book I am referring to. They were doing experiments with hours of light but would use the same hours of light in both veg and flower.
Some plants were 7 hours of light per day in both veg and flower. Some were 10 in both veg and flower. They also tried a 24.
Idk for sure off the top of my head if 7 and 10 were included but you get the idea. They seemed to lack knowledge of using more light in veg and less and flower. I can understand if you want to be a rebel and don’t want to stick with the traditional 18/12. Just saying some info was inaccurate. The book also said you can graft hops onto cannabis to make psychoactive hops. Not true.
Such great information! Since my last post I already put my seedlings in some HFOF. So far they are looking fine. Let’s hope they stay like that. I’ve only grown once before and I forgot what soil I used but all plants did pretty well.

Thanks for all the info !! Very helpful. I’m about 30 days into transplanting into 3 gal bags in happy frog and placed those in larger bags with more happy frog and a little ocean forest
Should I be starting nuts ? If so suggestions on type … my first time growing in a long long time …

Most people say not to use any nutes with fox farm soil for at least 30 days although I find that for plants of a decent size being transplanted outdoors they can usually take more nutes. Ocean forest soil has a reputation for being able to burn small seedlings but happy frog is lighter. Your plants seem a decent size.
As far as what types of nutes to use that’s up to you. Fox farm soil is designed to work well with fox farm fertilizer as it is sandy loam. But I don’t recommend fox farm fertilizer to beginners, it requires buying several different fertilizer products plus you need to buy a ph pen and balance the ph. Coast of Maine plant food and other coast of maine amendments I highly recommend for beginners as they work well and are extremely easy to use, just top dress weekly or bi weekly.

Awesome !! Thank you !
Great reading thanks for all the info, especially @Mastrosso !
I lurked here on this forum since October '23. Finally started my first grow back in March '24. Decided to go organic / indoor based on all the grow logs I read. Here’s a pic of my two girls now:

think so yes. Go with seed starter stuffs if you are going with germinations
When I called Fox Farms recently and asked, I was told that Ocean Forest is their best soil for pot, but Happy Frog is good, too.
I use Happy to germ in a solo cup. At first transplant I mix Happy and Ocean 50/50 with added perlite. At the next transplant I do full Ocean. Happy is geared toward microbial life with a little bit of nutrients and Ocean is full on loaded with nutes.

I used OF out in the flower bed this year. The annuals that got the OF in their transplant holes have been completely crazy blooming. Will be expanding the use of it for spring planting for sure.
