First, all Fox Farms soils suck. Build your own living soil. I have grown in coco for years and soil is more forgiving, produces a better end product with yields almost the same. Even if your a brown thumb. GrassCity organic threads is where you need to be. With your light and tent in a single 20 gallon no till you should be pulling 8-10 oz. easily every cycle. Good luck. Stay AWAY from coco and any form of bottled water/chemical mixes.
Wow... funny how when I built my organic soil I used as a base a mixture that included Fox Farm Ocean Forest, and it is still going after many years. I would not agree with your opinion that it sucks. Second, recommending another forum while commenting on another is pretty rude, and at that point, you lost all credibility with me, and I hope, with others.First, all Fox Farms soils suck.

I disagree. I grow in coco/perlite, and am pulling that amount from a 2' x 4' tent now.

Emilya, I never meant to discredit this site. I believe we should share knowledge from every source available. I belong to many different sites and all have added to my knowledge. The suggestion I made was based on the best available resource in one place. If you believe your fox farm organic soil is working for you that's great. If your open to trying real organic gardening give my suggestion a try. Then hate me if you think I'm incorrect. By the way, discrediting someone for sharing knowledge is very immature.
I do not doubt it Old Salt. I liked coco as a trial medium. Fun to see plant explode with groth. Way to much work with ppm tracking and phing water.. I do neither with my living soil. All my plant look much healthier and anyone with little to no experience can grow high quality meds with living soil. If he wants to stay with coco. I'd suggest washing the coco and precharging. Then only use a good "coco specific" base nutrient the first round and add zero supplements to the mix. Do NOT use Mills Ultimate coco with cork it is buffered to a ph of 7. Just my opinion.
There's no need for PPM tracking. It will be what it needs to be for the concentration of nutrients used.
I have a TDS pen, but only use it to check my RO membrane once a month.
pH is checked only when I mix a new batch of nutrient solution, once every 4 - 7 days.
I use the original General Hydroponics' Flora Trio and supplements without a problem. I don't mix and match between nutrient manufacturers as GH products are designed to work together.
I can't comment on taste, as I put my meds in capsules so there is none.
I’m just going to say this.., and not meant as any shade. BUT... sunshine advanced #4, or coco/perlite, House and Garden complete line, and BOOM! Veg 4 weeks/flower 9. Top twice, lst to death, scrog, defoliate 3 times, flush 4 times, and then watch them get big! Heavy, tight buds.First, all Fox Farms soils suck. Build your own living soil.

plants will grow as wide/bug as the width of their root system, airpots are taller more than wide, im starting to lean towards finishing veg and flowering in smart pots because they seem to be wider and less tall than airpots.It's been a mix of different screw ups. I think one part of the problem is I continually try new things. But I have done 3 gallon pots of FFHF with GH nutrients a handful of times, got pretty use to it, but that's where I am maxing out at 1-1.5 oz.
I tried 4x 5 gallon pots once, but then also tried some LOS I mixed up and for lower yield than usual. But I also tried to scrog for the first time on that run, and the second run in that soil, it was not doing well. Not to mention a different strain.
I once put a single plant on 7 gallons and tried to scrog it. But then I stupidly cut off about all it's bud sites. So even in that huge pot with all that work, I still ended up with MAYBE two ounces.
I did more pots the last run like you suggested, and got a better overall yield, but I have a plant limit so I can't just add more pots to compensate.
Meanwhile 5 gallon pots or larger broke my back. Literally, I have a herniated disc now. So I'm sticking with 3s lately knowing if I went bigger I might get more, but so I take the risk and the extra back pain?
That got me thinking about coco or perlite... Much lighter and the yields are supposed to be higher anyways, but I wonder if switching to something totally new all the time is what's actually holding me back.
