This guy is one of the most laid back chill vibe growers. Open minded and funny but at the same time spits facts that really get you thinking. You can learn alot off this channel.
Who, me? Haha. Thanks bro, I tried to keep it chill and laid-back.
@@420scene Dude I'm high as fuck watching this trying to figure out everything that went wrong with this grow so I don't have the same problem the second time and this is blowing my fucking mind! 🤯
I just wish I found this channel and started watching these videos a few week back before I popped my seeds and potted them in their forever home, I used tomato plant growbag compost and added fish blood and bone and bonemeal with a bit of seaweed plant food every week and it seems to be working although I use a greenhouse instead of grow lights 😂
Yeah he spits out bars. Then he lays the smack down on the facts town.
What soil is best for seedings ?
I’m in week 4 with 2 blue dream autos from ILGM. Started in solo cups in ocean forest for 2 weeks. Transplanted to 3 gallon fabric pots in more ocean forest and started using the fox farm trio at full strength with molasses, epsom, and myco. Started flowering at 3 weeks. So far they are loving it!! No sign of deficiency and no sign of nute burn!
how's it going now?
So how'd it turn out?
Man I ran a bunch of autos and found they eat less than photo plants! Hopefully your plants didn't burn up on you
@@whocares4464 what do you recommend I’m starting my autos outside this week and plan on doing a solo cup with ocean for the first few weeks then after week 2-3 put into 10g pot mixed with Ocean and frog with the fox farms trio any tips in Missouri heat
@@lanehurt1512 hows it going? Did you use any silica, that helps with extreme temperatures and strengths the stem and helps against pest..
I’m a new grower, 1st grow Light Warrior, 50 happy 50 ocean in 1gl, then transplant to 3gl strawberry because of you my friend, wish me luck!
Nice man. I love strawberry fields. Good luck on your grow. hit me up sometime on IG, I'd be down to see what you got.
Starting my first indoor grow tomorrow, I already bought the ocean forest and advanced nutes line. But I'm going to try this and see what happens. (45/45/10 of, happy frog, perlite) to start. Thank you for this video!
I went Happy Frog/ Ocean forest/planter mix + perlite this year. I didn't use anything outside of a couple molasses worm casting tea's in veg. This combo works well. I am half way through flower, and I had to raise my greenhouse 18" on stilts to accommodate the girls.
I use 50/50 Light Warrior/Frog for seedlings, then 50/50 Frog and Ocean for flower. Been working out great. Definitely looking into the strawberry on next run. Always dope homie!👍🏼
I use happy frog to start and then transplant to ocean Forest mixed w happy frog 😛
Nice man. That’s a great mix.
As Oceans is considered Hot my mix was 6 parts Ocean 3 part coco 1 perlite . I also use the FF Nutrient but, i didn't start any until weeks 4-5 following the FF soil schedule. Worked out great only a little discoloration with the leafs. I then added CalMag to the mix and all is beautiful. Currently week 4 of flower.
@@craigshoemaker2492 Cool bro, I’m more or less in the same medium but I add earthworm castings mixed with Gia greens dry amend once a month. I’m 3 weeks in flower, just stripped my plants and I’m thinking of going back to bottle of Massive Bloom GP, but I’m worried I’m going to lockout. Do you water to runoff using bottles at mid flower, or just go light?
@@stangcobra592 you know what's up... Maybe yo could school these kids... I wish I could but disclosure contracts might get in the way! lol
@@rcook2608 the answer is the dirty dozen and feeding schedule... Then dial in. Pay attention to pH and leaf signs
Obviously your knowledge is what's happening. I'm using Roots all Organic. It's a good .mix. Currently Kush XL and Cream OG in the pots. Week 6 autos. five weeks added no nutes. Last weekadded some nitrogen and calcium. Faint green turned to dark on new growth. Topped and LST. WOW amazing how they are filling the stems up. First time inside and autos. LMC NFSOT.
PEACE OUT
😎😎✌✌
Roots organic is pretty good stuff too and it’s a soil brand that a lot of people don’t really mention so it’s really cool to see that you’re using that.
I truly like all the fox farm products. I use the big three “ nutes” later in each period of grow when I feel like available nutrients are used up in my soil unless I’m running straight OF soil, then I won’t use any nutes till flower usually. The more you can set your dirt up so you can just water and go the better off you are!!! Just my opinion.
Yeah man and I actually started out using all of the fox for nutrients because I just thought that’s what you needed but as time went on I just started amending the soil more so I didn’t have to worry about the bottle stuff. And I actually had better results that way as well.
@@420scene you ever have over feed problems
@@ShorterProblems Only if I’m experimenting with feed ratios but normally no, because I hardly give them any water in veg. Lol.
@@KhalilSecurity I trans plant twice before flower keeping soil hot
@@KhalilSecurity be careful and use great white. I do solo cup to 1 g them right before flip I do final transplant and then flip to flower on fresh soil
I went with a 30-30-30-10 ...
strawberry/ocean/happy/perlite in 5 gallon smart pots . I started LST all 5 autos at the end of week 2 . I’m now at the end of week 3 and everything is looking beautiful ! I’m sure I’ll need to start adding nutes eventually so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all the awesome content and happy anniversary !
did you ever figure out nutes? just curious cus im also using the same soil mix.
I just latched onto your site and enjoy it immensely. My question is I've filled up a large trashcan with agriculturally filtered water via a small inline element. I'm assuming now that the water is devoid of any nutrients? I'm PH' ing the water every time and using Ocean Forest 100%. All six breeds have popped in OF and are doing well. Should I continue to use the filtered water after transplanting into five gallon containers of fresh OF as they vege and hit them with the liquid in the flowering stage? Thanks so much.
I mix 50/50 with Black Gold and Ocean Forest with an added 3/4 cup perlite #3, also about tablespoon of Mosquito Bits to control the larva that are most likely in the soil...I Also start every seed in a peat pot and then after a week or two move into a 3 gallon grow bag...The peat pot goes right into the soil with no transfer shock...Works every time...

Per 1 ProMix HP (107L Bale):
-5 Cups Worm Castings (Nurturing Nature)

Thanks for leaving your mixes, hopefully that should help some people out in here.
old guy again i have made a living out of keeping some sort of plant alive my entire life mostly with man made products but after many years i have learned nothing can compare to mother nature ipm and organics will always outshine in end results no matter what the desired plant is
I use the original fox farm soil pre mixed with bat guano and earthworm Castings and coco coir. For seedlings I start in the small cubic containers with 70% soil on the bottom and 30% coir on top. During the initial growth of your seedling it has all the nutrients it needs from the seed it’s growing from. So you don’t have to add any nutrients. By the time the roots start reaching the soil, leaves will have grown out and will start to use the nutrients from the soil.
Def man, absolutely.
I compost add 1/3 Pete Moss 1/3 perlite and a couple hand fulls of crushed oystershell and egg shells and that gets me all the way through veg into flower, then I start adding nutes I’ve used foxfarm trio in the past with pretty good yield I’m trying advanced nutrient this grow and I’m hoping for a better harvest, but the best thing I could recommend is using compost and getting that nice microbial base
Nice bro and good luck with it. I thought that the Fox Farm trio was OK. I liked the down to earth dry amendments more.
I am a newbie and I’m bout to start growing outdoors and indoors can I put my seeds directly in foxfarm or can I add ff to my pot and make a gal size hole and add happy frog so I can start my seeds
Big roots by soil king is amazing. All you need is already in the soil form start to finish. Its totally organic too. Hint add some pk boost halfway into flower and thats it.
💯💯💯✌🏻
How hot is it? Good enough for Autos?
I like a mix of happy frog,steer manure,chicken manure,topsoil and a little extra perlite its a super soil mix that works really well
I tried using Strawberry fields on my current autoflower grow with no added nutes. I water with plains pH’d RO water with no run off to avoid flushing. I’m on day 67 and so far no deficiencies what so ever and I’m almost ready to harvest. Plain water. Nothing else. But I think if I add that fish bone meal as you suggested, that may help increase the yields a bit. I will try it again with the same auto seeds to see if I see any differences. Thanks for all your videos big dawg.
Yeah, try adding that fish bone meal and see if you get more weight. I’m glad you like the content Broski.
So you didn’t have to add any nutes?
@@larrylover4153 if you’re asking me, no I did not. But when I watered, it was done slowly to ensure that I soak all the soil and didn’t have any run off to avoid nutrient flushing out. Make sure you use an autoflower that has a 60day lifespan or less.
@@KingEversProduction thank you and do you have any brands to recommend I been looking at mephisto fast buds and ethos
@@larrylover4153 honestly. I’ve only been growing for about 6 months but been smoking for 20 years. I’ve only tried growing 2 different auto strains. I bought 10 seeds of each strain. 20 seeds total. So I only know those 2 strains. But yo, that Blue Amnesia by Ministry of Cannabis is fcking fire. Tasty and heavy high and it’s a haze which is different for me. But I highly recommend it. Fruity AF!!! I got my seeds on Attitude Seedbank which is overseas and it took 14 days to receive the seeds. THey have lots of seeds to pick from. If you ever get a chance to try those seeds. I highly recommend it. I’m currently doing some DWC. And I wish they had them in photoperiod. I would fck shit up with photoperiod DWC. I will buy those again for sure.
I use OF too and I've had great grows with it the only thing I add to OF is with my watering, I make a tea with bone meal, blood meal. and bat guano (no foliage spraying) I will also use molasses in the flower stage. I'm a master gardener and I have found that using a good tea mix can enhance all stages of growth in your plants and you can change your tea mixture to the different cycles of your plant's growth.
That’s great man, I’m glad that it’s been working for you. But usually a master gardener doesn’t have to say that they are a master gardener. Keep practicing your craft man.
@@420scene As a true master grower myself I would like to thank you for upholding our standards to our appropriate craft
I'm not a Master Gardener, but a Master Toker :-)
I went to my local grocery store. And all they had was strawberry fields, and in the past, I've always used ocean forest. I do add blood meal and bone meal. Along with worm castings 10 or 15% paralyzed and wondering if that's gonna give me any kind of problem with the change. My intention is to use it all the way through veg and flour. Just curious what your thoughts are.
Good video! There is so much involved with this topic, its like this video was an introduction. When I first started my own grow, I was using a super soil. A neighbor asked how to grow so I taught him what I knew. He went with Foxfarm Ocean Forest soil and Foxfarm liquid trio soil nutrients. His plants were 4× the size of mine! Pulling a qp from each plant if not more! It wasn't just the nutes, this man researched how and why each thing was needed like you said. Know your plants and their needs and you'll grow like a pro!
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed the video, my vids are great for beginners. It can get confused to first timers. I moved onto Strawberry Fields.
@@420scene have you tried mixing Strawberry Fields with Happy Frong or Ocean Forest? Like maybe 50% Strawberry Fields, 20% Ocean Forest and 30% happy frog. I need more soil for upcoming runs, maybe I will try some Strawberry fields this round
@@JANDL4EV Heck yeah bro. I’m actually experimenting in the new Banana Kush series with the Happy Frog and Strawberry Fields mixed.
Everyday garden soil with loads of chopped banana skin and a little peat compost. Gave me small sized plants but amazing structure
It’s funny that you mention that because I made a video a few months back about the banana tea being great especially during the flowering stage. Good comment. Hope you enjoyed the video.
@@420scene its my first ever grow im more hoping than knowing anything I try
So do I mix all 3 soils out the gate? What's the ratio? Also, what organic nutes do you recommend now? (8 months later) Told ya! I'm 3 hour in! Your my new go to guy!
By the I'm bout to start my remaining 5 ww autos
I mix the box store living soil (whatever I get my hands on) and ocean forest. Water only from seed to harvest. Works fine for a personal grow.
That's the way to go. I just started a worm bin. I look forward to no mlm or bottled nutes.
What is "living soil"? Like, compost? Do you mix them 50/50?
Good info bro! Ocean Forest with Coco is an amazing mix also. When are you going to set up a grow tent and rock out a big grow for us?
I can’t do anything big because I don’t really have a huge place.
I mix both, Ocean Grown and Happy Frog, add worm castings, some alaska fish. they grow and love it. Use organic like Dr Earth to top dress every month. Peace
Yeah that’s what I do man. Thanks for the comments broski.
@@420scene with that mix, should perlite be added?
If I go 50 50 ocean forst and happy frog for veg 5 gal containers....how big of a pot do I need to trans0lant into with strawberry fields if I don't wanna add nutrients
I use roots organic. I mix in vermiculite, I understand it's supposed to a be source of silica for your plants
Vermiculite if for retaining water only. And cannabis does not like wet feet so depending on how you water if you get yellowing I'd experiment a pot without vermic
Dude u the man u know it's all about the money! Use half of the recommended amount and wacth them grow. Yeild is if your commercial quality is if it's for you an your's. Love your advice spot on dude.
Exactly man. Abso-freakin-lutely.
Well if you use living soil you can use 1/4 the amount...OR NONE AT ALL
I use ocean Forrest on the bottom half and happy frog on top mixed with some coco and perlite and I use flora flex full tilt line of nutes and it works great for me
Quick question, Can you put some worms in your outside cannabis planters?
Yes you can. Do it.
@@420scene Is this recommended? Do they fuck anything up?
@@420scene Thanks
I’m on my first grow .. I used 2:1 happy to ocean 50% of 5 gallon pot with about 30% coco on top of that and lightly blended into the coco for the perlite and a bit of nutrients.. hopefully it turns out good . 2 weeks in now 🤞🤞
To help rooting for clones, put neodymium around the base of the cutoff, use the square sponges, within a day or 2 the roots will be coming out of the cube. In 2 more days, it will outgrow the cup container (the roots). A strong root system will help the plant take more punishment and/or quick changes in the environment. This only applies to smaller plants, once the plant grows out the EM field, it will slow down. You can use a tomato cage and wrap it with magnets to create on giant emf around the plant. I’ve been experimenting with a copper twisted like a tornado. I run a low current enough to create an emf around the whole plant. This is not easy. You must know how much your plant will take before it frys. Remember to ground it in the dirt the plant is in. I can’t stress this enough, KNOW HOW MUCH CURRENT YOUR PLANT CAN TAKE! The grounding will put excess into the root system so it the current is too high... ☠️. If you decide to go this way, start with .25v without resistance or 0 oms. Go up from there. Be gentle! Don’t lose your babies! Tiger bloom rocks!
Yes I absolutely agree with everything you said. I honestly haven’t really messed around with clones all that much to give an opinion though but thank you.
I'm on first week of flower and I have no nute burn from
FFOF. Started seedlings in it.
My first grow so I'm hesitant about fertilizers especially when they don't tell u the ingredients. And why is there no USDA ORGANIC fertilizers? Thanks for the vid.☝❤
I mixed coco and Ocean forest 50/50 and cut down on recommended nutrients during veg. Now into 3rd week of flower and I have zero problems. Only problem in my growth thus far was due to my heater getting turned and burning on of my plants ( third week after seedling stage). I feel incredibly lucky up till now because I am a complete noob ( first ever grow) and not seeing any bugs or mildew and such. I keep my eye on PH and now that my plants are in bloom I feed nutrients at an increased level. Plants have realy taken off the first 10 days of 12/12 light cycle and they are looking fantastic. But still, with every day that goes by I have my fingers crossed that my luck continues. Other products that was available to me on short notice and budget wise which I use is calmag, organic molasses, Alaska fish fertilizer, worm casting and bat guano. I also added some epsom salt to the mix. My Acapulco Gold is either knock my sox off or it will kill me...Stay tuned!
I just make my own soil, 1/3rd coco, 1/3 drainage (I use pumice + rice hulls), 1/3 compost (I use worm castings and fish emulsions), add in about 1/2 cup of a locally produced slow release organic fertiliser (which you can blend/customise yourself)
I mix perlite with happy frog, and sprout in a big styrofoam cup. When there are 3 sets of leaves or so, I’ll use the cup to make a void in the middle of a 3 gallon pot of ocean forest. Then I carefully cut away the styrofoam and slide the seedling into the hole. It works awesome.
I’m on my first grow. I’m using happy frog. I add either vegetation or flower by simply professional & I use sensi-cal, cal-mag. I’m not sure how good my results will be but I know I can get better. I just need to get enough info to where someone can pick up on something I may be doing wrong. Help!
I switched from the Fox farm nutes to the Humboldt's Secret. Still start off in a solo with happy 🐸. Them mix 🐸 and ocean forest. But the nutes Fox farm is just way to hot for me. Never once had to do a mid flush or even a final flush with Humboldt secret
I know a few people that use Humboldt secret. Lots of good stuff of course.
I mix happy frog with composted black angus cow manure sourced locally at a 1:1 ratio. I add kelp and fish shit at 4 weeks with first feed. And then I go on a feed water water water feed.. been working great for autoflowers, all I run is autos. And my feeds consist of worm casting mixed with organic chopped banana peels, kelp and fish poop… if I need some more phos or mag I have Hi-Yield organic phos and cal mag. All my waters consist of 1.5 teaspoons of blackstrap to 1 gallon of water
Would you recommend using the fox line nutrients if I’m growing outside and plan on mixing frog and ocean
have you ever vegged in a 5 gal and switched it to a 7 gallon with a different soil a week or two before you switch it to flower?
I am currently looking to try OF mixed with Black gold at the seedlings stage and then transplant into the strawberry 🍓 fields for 1 plant.
The 2nd plant I want to just run strawberry from seedlings all the way through flowering stage, would you recommend that?
The 3rd plant I was going to just run OF all the way but now with ur knowledge it doesn’t sound like something I should and I don’t want to waste the seeds I have.
I am trying to run at least 3 different ways to try to see what the outcomes will be, after this video I might pick up some happy frog 🐸 but then again I might just use the black gold as the substitute.
Also working with photoperiods.
Love the videos man keep it up!!!
Ive always started seeds in ocean forest and never had a problem
You’re very lucky then. It could also be different from market to market.
Don’t think he is lucky, just think you are not so. Proof is in the pudding
@@skellysdead huh?
@@skellysdead The point that I’m trying to make is that most people have come to me complaining about Ocean Forest.
Same. Never once had an issuen not even once
I’m using a Home Depot soil called natures care organic it’s Nitrogen is 0.15% Phosphate is 0.13% and the K is 0.15 and calcium is 0.03 i also got some sensigrow part A and Part B and some alskan fish fertilizer which NPK value is 5-1-1 is that good enough from seedling to flower if not what else would you recommend without spending a bunch of money this is for a indoor closet grow
I used black gold moisture lock with coco. Ot organic . Mixed with a concentrated auto flower supersoil. I'll check brand and let know what was
I really do want to try the Black Gold next. A few people here mentioned it in a few other videos. Also, what did you catch in your profile picture? I’m at bass angler myself. 😛
@@420scene i fished bass for a long time that was a salmon too dark to eat by far the meat was already white inside. they're wonderful at the beginning of the run though.and quite a challenge took me a cpl years before i was even consistent at all . wish i knew how to add photos in these comments id show you some much nicer specimens
I use pro mix with happy frog all purpose nute, earthworm castings, composted manure, fine lime, and perlite. I use organic nutes to feed.
That’s good. When you say fine lime, you’re referring to dolomite lime? And that’s a good mix man. Nice.
About to try some grow dots and recharge. I have all the fox farm soils.
I'm thinking about HF only with dots, but also wanted to do a 3 layer fox farm 3 gal airport Auto but still put the dots in all 3 layers.
What do you think?
Ocean forest is the best stuff I've ever used. Tried to reduce costs and use other products. Keep coming back to ocean forest, it's the best. Not a fan of the fox farm liquid nutrients however, I like the dry slow release Dr earth stuff a lot more.
Yup organic for me as well... thanks for this comment
I like using tthe Happy Frog, but i also oadd in some of the Gaia Greens dry amendments which help alot too. Gaia Green has a good Living soil as well, ive even mixed it with the happy frog too.
You must be in Canada, Gaia Green is really good but not available in the states. But there are other alternatives.
use ocean forest and make a fist size hole fill with light soil for seedling and by the time it takes root it’ll be ok to dip onto hotter soil
So if I'm starting my autos with ocean forest and transplanting into ocean forest should I be using the liquid units also ???
Not until flowering because ocean forest already has lots of nutrients that will get you through the vegetative stage.
@@420scene thanks man you saved me a lot of time and money . Love the channel too
Thanks bro. I’m glad you love the channel.
Could it be that some strains are more sensitive than others? I grew 2 in summer of 2021 with OF + the ff trio with no probs. Also germinated pepper seeds directly in OF and while they were inside for 2 months without any other nutes and they all did great. Many other growers on my channel also claim no nute burn. I just wonder what the variables may be on why it works with some but potentially no others🤷🏻♂️
Could also be different ratio amounts.
@@420scene different ratio amounts of what?
Hey love your videos. I've learned alot from u. I just wanna say 1 thing. I've used foxfarm ocean forest for years. I plant seeds after germination straight in soil. I've never had a problem they grow vigorous. But the 1 thing I wanna say is I use distilled water for the first mounth. And watch the ppm. I think from my experience is theirs enough nuts for the first mounth so u don't need spring water or reverse osmosis. The soil is providing enough nuits already. Thanks for the video brother. U always have the doppest info
The thing with Fox Farm Ocean Forest, 2014-2018 it was great and the. Idk what they did but it got hot and it’s still hot but not AS hot. I’m running them with Happy Frog and Strawberry Fields.
Yes thats probably the best combo. I think ill try it on my next grow. I'll have some Gelato. Never tried the strain. But I'm going to do your mix. And thank u brother for all the content
Dude, new grower and still learning. I grow outdoors in soil roots organic . Did pretty good last season. What do you ph your water to? What would you ph the water with liquid food? I have seen so many different answers, from 6.8 to 7.0. To 5.3 to 6.0. Some have never checked the ph. I am just trying to get better at growing. Any help is appreciated. Thanks?
I pH my water to 6.0. Add whatever stuff you're gonna use for your feed and THEN pH your water because if you do it beforehand, the stuff you put in is gonna change the pH levels. It's happened to me back in the hay day. Also if you can bubble up your water, it's gonna help. you want to oxygen in your roots.
@@420scene thank you for the reply! I love growing and trying to get better and better. My town water is 7.0 out of the tap. I should ph the water down to 6.0? And also the same with the liquid food? I am in soil outdoors.thanks
@@howtheheliru If you are using the liquid feed, put that in first and then you can adjust your pH accordingly but yes 6.0 is where you want it to be at. That’s what I’ve had mine at and I’ve done pretty well with that. So that should work out for you to man.
@@420scene right on! Thank you!
I’m about to start my first run in less than a month here, would it be wise to go with pure strawberry fields plus dry amendments with autos?
i just got some ocean frog what shoulld i mix it with to start seedlings. then after seedling do i keep it in 100% ocean forest?
A bit of perlite. You don’t need any nutes for seedlings in this mix. I prefer starter mix (for popping seeds) mixed with happy frog.
Could I possibly mix happy frog,ocean farm and Strawberry Fields together because I was thinking about doing it next year because I live in mass
4 gallon cloth pot. ⅓ bottom strawberry fields, ⅓ mid Ocean forest, ⅓top 50/50 Ocean/ happy frog.
Plants are loving it.... Only thing I do differently is a 10 gallon cloth pot w/Top half lind with 1 sheet Newspaper.
I made my own compost this spring , I’ve got gsc extreme from ilgm .
I took some clones off the best few plants . That compost was mixed with coco coir for 4 clones and the size of the buds on the clones are 2-4x the size of the seed . But the dispersement of the budding on the seeds is much higher and far more . I experimented this time since I haven’t grown in ten years . I trained the main branch and folded it down to help with size in the 5x5 tent . I mix kelp meal bat guano and another veg/fruiting dry mixture And sprinkled some epsom Salt for magnesium I wasn’t getting outta the nutrients . I gotta get my heat dialed or at least don’t grow in a garage in the summer next time and or get a bigger ac unit to cool down the area
I'm using ocean forest with the the trio big bloom nutrients for some reason I have two granddaddy purp from seed they are going crazy not much in height but the foilage is thicker everyday there's literally a1/4 inche or less in between the nodes but I also have three clones that started at the same time but the clones are not doing very well am I doing something wrong or is the clones just poor quality
I'm testing out this soil called "sohum", amending it with down to earth vegetable and rose bulb dry nutes with worm casting and mycroze . Seems to work well and pretty simple.
First time grow tenter going with 7 parts HF, 2 parts OF, 1 part perlite.
What and when should I add amendments? I’m growing auto cbd 1:1 strains. First week and there looking healthy. Thanks
Is there a difference in the seedling stage and the health of seedings. I grow vegetable microgreens which are seedlings grown densely together in a tray. I’m looking for a good potting soil that supports only initial growth. Thanks.
Light Warrior and Happy Frog are great for initial growth.
@@420scene thanks 🙏🏼 I’m going to also try promix. I would like a sterile mix and something that’s cost effective.
What would the mix be for the happy frog and ocean Forrest ? Half and half? I’m trying to find a good soil method where I don’t have to worry about bottle nutrients at all if possible
I would germinate, throw seed in happy frog. Let it grow 2-3 weeks then transplant into ocena forest and leave it until you switch you flower and give it a flower nutrient first week, 3rd week. Rest is up to you.
Hey what you think about fox farm tomatoe and veggie for vegetable garden
I am in the middle of figuring out what living soil I want to mix up. All the different additives is overwhelming. Plus every box goes for damn near 30$. It gets super expensive. You can get a 1/2 LB for $10 or 5 Lb s for $27. No brainer. What would you say is the most important additives like Kelp meal, bone meal, and all of those additives?
Is it good to mix ocean forest with , hydroton and water it with bat gano tea twice a week?
So far I've only used foxfarm Ocean forest soil and various foxfarm liquid nutrients and have good results but thinking about trying out some different products. Specifically for flower looking for something that can help increase the size of my buds
I use Edna's Best with 1/4 Bu's Blend Compost and added worm castings , alfalfa meal, sea weed, ......I top dress with gypsum, malted barley and oats and dry flowering elements in the last weeks with well water. The plants are so healthy they repel pests and diseases with stupendous harvests in greenhouse and under HID lights....
So if I transplanted from happy frog to the ocean soil should I add any nutrients or should I wait? I’m new to this and just curious on how this is going to play out!
I’m new to growing so and i use ocean forest so your saying i don’t have to amend using ocean forest ?
The only soil I could get my hands on was Kellogg’s patio plus ik its probably a badd option but I have 2$ left over to my name currently lol and was wondering other than the fertilizers it needs so you think it’ll burn my weed or affect the amount of buds? I want to hopefully get at least a quarter or half oz of my plant since it’ll be my first time growing
Just tried happy frog and loving it. Last few bags of OF have not treated me well. Getting yellow leaves and brown spots on lowers and overall kind of pale after a couple weeks. Happy frog produces much more vibrant green and growth. Thanks for the info
Yeah man that’s a really good mix.
I cut happy frog with EB Stone Recipe 420 and add some perlite. The ingredients between 420 and Ocean Forest is pretty close. 420 can be as much as $5.00 cheaper per 1.5 cu ft bag.
Ocean Forest: Ingredients
Composted forest humus, sphagnum peat moss, Pacific Northwest sea-going fish emulsion, crab meal, shrimp meal, earthworm castings, sandy loam, perlite, bat guano, granite dust, Norwegian kelp, and oyster shell (for pH adjustment).
EB Stone Recipe 420: Ingredients
Aged Forest Products, Coir, Sphagnum Peat Moss, Pumice, Earthworm Castings, Feather Meal, Seabird Guano, Crab Meal, Fish Bone Meal, Humic Acid from Leonardite, Gypsum, Oystershell Lime (pH adjuster), Dolomite Lime (pH adjuster), Bat Guano, Kelp Meal and Wetting agent (Yucca Schidigera Saponin) enhanced with Mycorrhizal fungi and beneficial soil bacteria.
Just throwing this out there. Your opinion?
It helps to alleviate hot bags by emptying the bags and mixing it up on a tarp before potting.
I use Coco Loco with amazing results with no bottled nutes for the first 3 weeks.
The best explanation I ever heard for a happy relationship is...before you respond to anything your girl says to you ask yourself, "Do I want to be right or Do I want to be happy." I am married forty six years and am here to tell you...happy is better.
I actually don’t believe in that method and maybe it worked out for you but we both admit each other’s faults and not one person is right all the time. Except me. Jk. Haha.
@@420scene I hope it works for you, let me know when you have your 46th...most likely you will need to notify me long distance that would make me 114 ! Keep up the good work, give yourself a raise and thanks for the videos.
I will definitely reach out to you on our 46th and I will find you and you are 114 years old. Haha.
Ive been married four times. I can tell you what doesn't work.
Thier is some truth here. Back in 2013 ived used fox farm ocean forest soil, never had a issue, as long as u are very careful during flowering how much nutrients u use... and here in 2020 i decided to start growing again, i used ffof soil again, and i did notice i had a small amount of nutrient burn in the very very early stages of life, but it eventually worked its self out and became healthy.., i didnt need to add nutrients until the last week or 2 of veg. .. so mabey the soil is a little hotter, but not by much in my experience.
A lot of people in here with disagree, including myself only because in my experience Ocean Forest has been really hot. But yes I do agree that the soil works itself out after a few weeks but I think it’s a good soil to transplant into but not start off with.
Everything I talk about in all of my videos is pretty much my experience, like it’s not factual and I don’t make it like it’s factual, like black and white. I just go by the experience I’ve had and I like to share it with everyone. Hope you enjoyed the video bro.
I watched the vid again man, you pretty much answered my questions. Got quit getting baked and posting comments. Love your channel man thanks!!!
Def bro. I mix it up. I have grow content but I do other stuff like stoner life stories, tips, and news.
Glad you enjoy it bro!
I'm using foxfarm big bloom. Is that a good nute?
Hey I commented before I was mixing my Ocean forest with seed starter with great results. I'm getting ready for some transplanting some new plants. I couldn't fined the seed starter I wanted, but got a big bag of Happy Frog. I've never used it before it's only 0.3 by 0.05 by 1.0 in your opinion do you think I'll be alright mixing this like 3 to 1 with Ocean forest?? I want to avoid any nutrient burn. I know you have used these products, what do you think???
If you wanna avoid nutrient burn, go with the Happy Frog. Ocean Forest has been really hot the last few years. I'm actually making a video comparing seedlings in Happy Frog and Strawberry Fields. Well, I hope that helps man and hit me up anytime you have any questions.
Big Rootz, Amended with Subcools super soil charge pack, and Geo-flora Bloom, and only have to use R/O water!!!
This is such an old video man. I moved on to Pro Mix and custom super soil.
What about layering Straw on top1/3, Then Ocean Straw 50/50 mix 1/3, and bottom 1/3 ocean. roots grow into what they need?
I've been using Moonshine 64 out of Colorado with good results. Really only need additional nutrition during flower 🌹
HP Promix with compost, worm castings, manure, Perlite. I'll add Gaia green amendments, Herb Thrive, Rock Dust Blend and insect Frass. For flowering add some mineralized Phosphate and use Abundant Bloom for top dressing. I'll add Liquid Karma or water soluble sea weed when watering every once in awhile too.
Hey cat. Ty for info.. I'm old Florida boy. That never have had a green thumb. I have ruined 7 out 10. Ilgm gg. 3 has survived. I can't get past seedling .and All ready out of seed. Should I complain to ilgm. And ask for hand out...or man up. Save up again..and try again. Is their a cheaper. And easy way to pay for seed .
Devin Wahl I mean there isn’t a easier way to pay for seeds. ILGM is great man or I wouldn’t have accepted their partnership with my channel and my brand. I personally haven’t had a problem and it’s hard for me to diagnose what problems you’re having without really going off of anything.
@@420scene cat. It is me. I started 3 different ways. All 3 I saw on line . I'm sure my fault.. I use paper towel in zip . in future. Ty. For info.

Coast of Maine with coco coir and coco pellets 30/30/30. 10% perlite/worm casing/quano..
Opinions...?
I am new grower and this year I mixed Fox farm and Miracle-Gro potting mix plus worm casings. Smell strong but seedlings came up 8 out of 12. So far so good.
As long as it works out for you man. 8/12 is decent.
I make my own mix, coco coir, worm castings, rabbit droppings, perlite, garden lime, bone meal.
Huge plants, huge flowers, and great harvest weight.
First auto-flower grow to start soon, Happy Frog for seedlings? I have Ocean already but now thinking it is too nutrient-rich for seedlings. Any thoughts?
You’re absolutely correct. Happy Frog is a good go to.
@@420scene Well, I decided to experiment. I have autoflower as my first grow. 5 Gallon fiber pots. On the bottom 2-3", all Ocean, placed a small coffee can in the middle, All around the can a 50/50 mix of Frog and Ocean, in the can, all Frog, removed the can and will plant the seedling in the middle, hoping they will mature enough to handle the 50/50, hoping the roots if/when they reach to pure Ocean, will be able to handle rich nutrients.
@@colettekruse6420 Any updates how it’s going for you?
@@colettekruse6420 rinse your soil in water to drop the EC if it's to high
I mix 2 bags of 1.5 Cu. of Ocean Forest to 1 bag of Happy Frog. I don't have to start using any nutrients until 35 to 45 days with my photo-period plants. But with Auto's, I have to start using nutrients around day 30, depending on the strain, because they have sucked all usable nutrients out of the soil. If you go much longer than 30 days with auto's, you will start to see deficiencies in the leaves. So, I am happy with Fox Farm Soils. You just need to pay attention to your plants by inspecting them every day and I promise, you will learn to grow top-shelf buds that are second to none.
I’m already growing top shelf flower bro. I did this video a while back. I had some really killer grows under my belt. It’s all about amending your soil, oxygenating your water and your soil for proper aeration, and creating an aerobic environment. That right there is the key to having top shelf flour. Hope you enjoyed the video bro.
I use my own mix, starting off with some pro mix, already grown in and amended with cow manure, stonington blend, magnetite, and recharge
Two_Five_Trees approves of this video! Another great knowledgeable vid my guy!!
Thanks man. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
should cal mag be used also ? if so at what point do you start?
What would be a good mix using of, sf and hf?
Im a new grower, i been using ocean forrest but i been feeding with liquid nutrient no matter now little a give them they burn or lock out, It made me wanna Quit, but after watching ur videos and learning more Im going to Strawberry fields next grow! And done with liquid nutrients! But Thanks!
I use fox farms nutrients and my buds look and smell good but small as hell look like thumbs im using a spider farmer sf1000 in a 3x3 tent any advice on why I can't get fat buds Thanks
What kind of soil are you in? There are lots of variables. I've use the TS600 which is a low light and got 9 O's per plant. Not flexing, just saying that it depends on what you're doing. Are you training your plants? What size container are you in?
@@420scene I've used a 5gal bucket and now I'm in a 3gal fiber pot with cocoa core i didnt train this round but I am the next just wanted to see what I can do this my second grow
@@kangkong658 Training is key man. I love trying to see how many tips I get.
@@420scene I'm gonna try it on my next round thanks for the advice bro 👍
@@kangkong658 You’re welcome man. It’s all about good vibes up in here brotato chip.
Do you still have to flush when using the fox farm or any of the nutrient base soil
Greenz Spice Of course you do.
@@420scene I’m a new grower how do you flush the nutrients out of the soil?
@@javierferrer2183 Hit your plants with water, wait 15 minutes and hit them again. Gallon of water each time.
@@420scene they way you said with fox farm fertilizer its the organic way right without using liquid nutrients
I think strawberry fields could be a great seedling starter but my only concern is once I've used it through veg will plenty of nutrients still be there for the flowering phase or do my gross senses tingling deceive me?
Strawberry Fields would not be a great seedling starter because it is a phosphorus-based soil and seedlings need nitrogen based more than anything. Happy Frog is the way to go for seedlings. Or light warrior is great too.
I'm in fox farm ocean forest. Got 2 autos growing now and doing amazing. No burn or anythinf. There in 3 gallon pots and just started week 3 today. My plan was top dress with dr earth dry amendments but not sure when I should. Any help or advice? Seeing alot of people top dress at the end of week 3 or 4 .
I mean you don't wanna overdo it with more nutrients because even though you didn't get burn somehow, lots of people did. You just don't wanna push your luck. I'd just give it water until the flowering stage. Mayne a touch of a little CalMag, 1 teaspoon per gallon just so you don't get iron, mag, calcium deficiencies. But looks like you're good to go man.
