Creature_344started grow question 2 years ago
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

I've never used either Happy Frog or Canna soil - when I grow in soil, I only use ProMixHP and no, you don't have to add anything to it - except nutes, that is - and the reason I like it is because I grow autoflowers and they don't like any nutes at all for the first couple of weeks - so I get to decide what and how much and when. Wouldn't grow anything in anything else...
Good luck!

I've been told to add vermiculite regardless to whichever soil I use .
For the purpose of adding the water retention but also SILICA .. perlite doesn't have it and from my understanding the Lil bit in vermiculite only helps .
Figured I'd pass that on. It's something ice started using in my recent project . But best of luck !!!

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 helpfulSetup. Substrates

Soil recommendation? Typically use Fox Farms Happy Frog but price keeps going up and quality seems much lower, lots of sticks, not mixed well etcIs 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 latelySetup. Substrates

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 restSetup.

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.
