Well said, thank you @Emilya

Thanks alot I transplanted all but one until I get more soil. I only had miracle gro performance organics and I will definitely raise the plants because the floor is cold

Fox Farm results!

Everytime I see a sick plant on here, 99% of the time ocean forest soil or fox farm is involved.

I must be in the 1% club. lol I had a grow in FFOF and it gave me 20 ounces. See sig below on first ever grow. Second grow is in FFOF because my first grow went well. To the OP. Which Viparspectra do you have. Says me that's a small light for a 4x4 tent. You can barely see my Viparspectra in the pic. I use it to supplement my home made light although in my first grow, It sat in a box. In fact I have two of them and both sat in boxes. I really should sell them......The pic sure makes them look sick though.

I'm not saying the soil is crappy, Im saying most posts where there's an issue I usually see the words fox farm.

It could be something simply not related to the soil. IE, adding things not needed. I had heard it had enough nutes in it for 5 weeks. I learned this before I planted any seeds. Growing is a science and should be treated as such. I learned about humidity, temps, nutrients and lighting before I dropped the seeds in. I had told my wife if I was going to do this I was going to self teach myself. Once the hammer fell in Canada on OCT 17th I set about learning and accumulating items needed. I did not drop the seed till February. I think if people took the time to learn then there will be less errors unless you get an apprenticeship growing. Fortunately for those who jump in, We have forums like this one.

My biggest issue with FFOF has been little bugs flying out of newly bought soil but I have been reusing mine for years so no issues as of late.... knock on wood

Those little buggers come from every other bag of soil in the warehouse.

Because everyone that's smart starts with it and if they don't mess with the mix they will do fine.

I threw my FFOF in the deep freezer for a month before hand. Wanted to kill any living organism.

I put about 5 cups of everything

Way too much

I only use Fox Farm for my soil grows. He's added roughly 10 times more fertilizer than recommended according to the boxes of bone/ blood meal I have. I'd say his Phosphorous has locked out Calciun, Iron, Zinc. But there are a litany of other issues. It's not the soil.

Transplant and flush aggressively with fulvic acid (Fulpower by Bioag is the goods). This will help move and chelate the excess nutes.

Btf420...can you tell me a little bit more about the two product bags in the pic...ratio and any advice. Thinking about a new soil for grow #2...used Roots Organic 707 (amended with more perlite and worm castings) grow #1 and need to determine if I use again since I have another 1.5 bags...or switch out.

 

[Rickjamespart2]

Ok, 5 cups per bag or two of soil? Or for each 5 gallon pots?
Like @Virgin ground . said watch out of temps too.
I definitely wouldn't add anything at this point to the plants but water

For two bags of soil

 

[Rickjamespart2]

Only because the inexperienced grower did not know that the soil was perfectly mixed already and went ahead and added nutrients.Not fox farms fault by any means.

Fox farm soil is top notch and I m going to buy more. I definitely messed it up by adding to much. I transplanted into Miracle gro performance organics soil is that pretty good?
