Roaches in my new bag of Happy Frog soil.
New grower. Swapping out my promix for soil. I wanted to make a mix of Happy Frog, Ocean Forest and perlite. My Happy Frog soil received via Amazon is full of roaches! Dumb question but is this trash now? How in the world do I return an open bag of soil to AMZ?!

re-using soil worth it?
Anyone with experience (give comparison growth, yield,...).... I use biobizz light mix. Normally, I only have to mix the soil with a bit of fresh soil and worm hummus to activate organic life again. And ofcourse break the old plant material with enzymes first and let it rest

Is it better to adjust nutrition if using soil from a previous grow?
One of my grows is nearing the end and is being flushed this week ready for the chop on Saturday. Do I need to adjust the feed schedule for the next grow to account for any residual nutrients in the soil from the last grow? I am using BioBizz Light-Mix soil & full BioBizz range.

How do you wash your coco?
I'd like to reuse my coco, so just wondering how some of you that use it wash yours in prep for another grow. I had issues with gnats so I want to be sure the coco is pest free before I use it again. I don't have lots of gadgets so tips on how to physically wash it wd be helpful

Soil recommendation? Typically use Fox Farms Happy Frog but price keeps going up and quality seems much lower, lots of sticks, not mixed well etc
Is there any soil recommendations anyone can make that are good but a less pricey? Dont get me wrong, I love Fox Farm’s, and 38/bag isnt terrible. I’m just curious if anyone has found a more mainstream soil that’s as good of soil. I also think their quality has been worse lately

Another Soil Question
Hello- Another soil question. Currently use Happy Frog. For Promix, do you need to add perlite or vermiculite? Has anyone used Commonwealth Canna soil? Looking to use something different. Thank you in advance

Coco or soil? For easiness and yield
Does growing in coco offer bigger yields than soil or vice versa? And has anyone had good results using biobizz with coco? I’m curious because I'm thinking about trying out an organic coco run.
