Miracle Grow vs. Foxfarm Ocean Forest side by side comparison

Subbed up... curious to see it, but not going back to miracle gro regardless

Sorry folks I'm not sure how this thread ended up in the Organics section as it was posted last night in the Advanced section. If it was moved by anyone then this documentation is over I don't put up with that shit for a second. If it was just a stoner moment on my part and it's my mistake then I apologize for the little rant

Subbed! ....Gonna try MG nutes too?

Hey T how's it going. I am using MG nutes along with some inexpensive kelp fertilizer, its in the first pic. I don't like the consistancy of the mg soil, it needs to be much more areated I'm thinking. Haha MG nutes are almost free lol, like under 5 bucks for a big box. Should last a long time considering it calls for a 1/2 teaspoon once every 2 weeks.

Yeah if a mod wanted to stick this someplace else other than Advanced they could have picked a better place to put it,,,Organics is the last place it should be

I can see the difference in FF and MG just off looks. i hate how Miracle grow gets kinda muddy, it has a weird consistency. I had no idea you like to do experiments n shit.

I'll prolly start recycling my soil and add amendments to it like you had mentioned. I have plenty of it lol. Use it outside in my flower gardens and there is a bunch out in the barn.

I got the idea from ubs' thread on snake oils and I have been noticing how expensive a lot of the stuff in the grow stores are vs basically the same shit you can get anywhere for much less. Of course some fining tuning will have to be done but that's what this thread is about.

Now how do I get it out of this section lol?

I agree about snake oils and such. But one thing in life i did learn is. You get what you pay for, eh. As far as soil. I may add perlite if needed but other than that i'm good. all the amendment condition the soil almost back to new. i also add old cloning plugs from harvested plants in for aeration, or any coco seedling pot in my soil for aeration. Wish you and your lady could get down here, lol . got 4 tix to a theme park (scareowinds) but nobody to go with. i went once this year but i left my cam, definitely pics this time. seen some creepy looking monsters.

The two main issues I have with miracle gro are taste and health.... can almost guarantee you it's not going to taste as good as organic. More than that, and I know smoking at all isn't exactly health, but there's a difference in what you smoke... and i'm not hearing anyone talk about the benefits of smoking osmocote (or whatever they call it) in your buds. Not saying all non-organics are bad, just that i don't trust that those nutes are not gonna give me cancer. There's evidence that smoking cannabis actually fights lung tumor formation -- i'm not gonna negate it by smoking chemicals. How do you flush a 6 month time release pellet??

It's also not necessarily an organic vs nonorganic issue when it comes to price... it's more of a hydro store vs non-hydro store issue... the bigger stores sell organic amendments and soils that don't cost an arm and a leg... hell i'd rather grow the miracle grow organic soil than the osmocote crap in fact i may have to do a side by side on it... it's definitely cheaper than roots i think i'm just gonna work on recycling.
