Wild_Billstarted grow question 5y ago

Hey everyone, I was thinking about doing a 50/50 Fox Farm-Happy Frog and Fox Farm-Ocean Forest as a soil base. Would this mix be to hot? Also I will be using 3 of there nutrients (separately) throught stages of growth. Id love your opinions and experiences on this. Thank you!

This is exactly what I do , ocean forest is too hot in its own and the happy frog is too moist on ya own but it makes a perfect mix! I add in another 10-20% perlite! This works wonders for me! Good luck 👍🍀

Hey man. I would start with happy frog Then transfer in to a 70/30 ocean farms to happy frog Then before you go to flower just ocean. Side note. You should always mix in earth worm castings and extra perlite. Like 30 30 30

Clay pebbles at the bottom I'm thinking using this like maybe an half inch in 4 gallon fabric pot - for better airflow for roots & to prevent overwatering. They absorb the excess well and give off slowly. Been doing this with my normal plants at home and it works well for them. Anyone with experience?
