SOIL suggestions

Jeez- too high. I tried to edit the first post and I took so much time that it would not let me edit it! Its actually grow #2, and I am looking for a different soil this time. I would like to get recommendations, because my memory is not good enough to remember what all of you use. I know about Fox Farms ocean forest and happy frog. If he would tell me, I would love to know what @Hoppiefrog uses. I am into the natural way of doing things. Organic just sounds like a “trendy” word to me. Thanks everybody!

Hey there friend :blush: I keep it simple tbh. If I had access to coco this crop I would have coco in my mix but 25% coco 25% promix HP and 50% perlite is the mix I was aiming for. In reality I ended up w 4 different mixes some w vermiculite and some w a mix of vermiculite,perlite and promix.

@patchman; I just started my 4th grow. I’m trying FFOF on the bottom half of a 5gal pot and FFHF on the top half
