It’s a much better product than FFOF. They use top notch ingredients to mix it. It’s not so commercial, and it’s mixed in smaller batches for more quality control.

Hey Grow Sis! You’re correct! However, hee hee hee! For my grow that’s in flower right now, I have COMSB, and for about two weeks or so, I had to use my Advanced Nutrients until my Roadside Organics were delivered. Those babies are good, 
no problems with that grow at all! Fingers crossed 
that it’s gonna continue without any problems! They have another 6-7 weeks of flowering to go.

I’m confused af lol 
why not just drop the JACKS 321, and keep the COMSB, and invest in the HIGHWAY DUST DUO by ROADSIDE ORGANICS?
@anon34311147 I just carried my first two autos and a fem photo Berry Jane to flower with that one bag is soil. I gave it some advanced nutrients for about two weeks (two feedings), then I kicked Berry Jane into flowering. Topsoiled with the roadside Organics back yard bloom. Sooo easy. 1/3 cup top soil, mix into the soil and/or use a cover crop (straw, etc) and do it again in three weeks.
No stress, guaranteed success.
I’m so impressed that I went and got four more bags, plus I’m gonna reuse the current soil in those three plants.
Marty, it’s time to make the switch. Come on brother. This is gonna be way better than synthetic nutes, I promise!

For my new grow with the eight seedlings, I’m not using any Advanced Nutrients on them. No need! The COMSB will give me at minimum, 6 weeks of nutrition for the babies. So, I’ll be using the Roadside Organics Green Mountain Veg. 1/3 cup of that gives me three weeks of nutrients, and all I do is give them my banana water with the Epsom and BSM, the BBP, and the liquid phosphorus when needed.
I’ve learned so much, but this Coast Of Maine Stonington Blend has changed my life and made it possible to confidently reuse my soil.
However, I have used the Advanced Nutrients in the COMSB soil on the Berry Jane plant and my two autos of Alien Goo, Window and Slow Poke. I have not had any issues at all. I didn’t even water to runoff.
Instead, the Back to The Roots organic potting mix WITHOUT adding perlite is suffocating my babies and they’re having every single problem

My brother knows best! He’s the one that introduced me to regenerative veganic and organic farming.
Honestly, he’s been my go to person for this kinda farming since day one.
Let me tell you @anon34311147 , the man knows his stuff.
Now, the way I’m transitioning out of bottled/synthetic nutrients can help you 
but you have to trust him, Me, and @Caligurl . I’ve only been in this a year and I’m already transitioning out of synthetic nutrients.
Learning soil anatomy and the micro and macronutrients that cannabis needs helped
All the mistakes I’ve made in this year, taught me so much.
I’m beginning to see the mofo light 
Marty…instead of giving up on the soil that YOU made sure I got to experience, change your nutes. Make the switch. Before you know it, you’ll be like Caligurl and Budbrother, making KNF nutes, composting and such!
I see your greatness MCFLY! Let’s gooooooo

@anon34311147 If you’re gonna stay with Jacks, then I suggest listening to him.

Yup lol @Shadegrown all you need for Forest 
soil is perlite or pumice , and mycorrhizae. In my opinion lol
Look at me! I’m working on my fourth grow in one year and I’m acting like a master lol
And thank you and @Caligurl for the encouragement! The way that coast of marine performed and how Berry Jane is doing on the Roadside Organic Back Yard Bloom lol I’m gonna have some serious smoke! lol

Here’s my weekly episode of
GIRLS UNDER PHLIZON!
The ladies are enjoying their 2x2 condominium! The weather is lovely; always in the 80s with humidity ranging from 70-75% RH.
Prior to moving into the condo, the girls were under an Amazon led plant light that was about 60-80w. It was on too low because the girls sure did stretch out a lot.
Since becoming GIRLS UNDER PHLIZON, the PL1000 has proven to be a very powerful 100W led light.
I’m saying though! LLPL (LADIES LOVE PHLIZON)! The lush green and large leaves are tell tale signs of great genetics and great lighting.
They’re looking at three weeks inside the 2x2 condo, afterwards, we’re gonna have to FIGURE IT OUT.
The 4x4 is still occupied with finishing up the two autos, Berry Jane, and the two half dead photos. They’ll need 7 more weeks in the 4x4.
It might be safe for the condo autos to be in there with the 12/12 light schedule and I might be able to keep the condo photos in the condo, IF I transfer them into 2-3 gallon pots first instead of the 5 gallons.
Let’s see how it goes!!! Tune in next Friday for a new episode of GIRLS UNDER PHILZON !
Your comments and suggestions are always welcome and appreciated!
Till next Friday! Stay lit, and Happy Growing!

I have a ton of Jacks 321 i need to use up before i switch styles… it works great if used correctly. Ive managed to get substantial results so far. I haven’t killed a plant yet with the stuff . Every grow has been successful but not without pH issues due to the wrong soil.

I’m no coco expert but from what I could tell coco has no nutrients and apparently does not retain moisture well and therefore you have to feed almost daily. I recommend checking out Skippy’s thread as he keeps detailed notes and his buds are amazing.
