It seems to me that most people on this site have positive things to say about the happy frog....I was planning to use it for my next grow, but wanted to know if it is good to go straight out of the bag, or if i should add anything to the soil to help drainage, water absorbtion, and ect.

I've used Happy Frog soil and it worked great. The guy at my local store told me that Happy Frog is a combination of Oceans Forest and Light Warrior. It was also a little cheaper also. $24 for 2cu ft., compared to the other 2 that were the same price but each bag was only 1.5 cu ft.

dude if you're doing soil, you need to make sure that you mix the soil (yes, the happy frog) at a 1/3 ratio of perlite.. yes.. 1/3 of the end result should be perlite mixed into it... then, take a soilles mix you can make on your own (like, say.. perlite + peat moss + vermiculite) if you dont have either peat moss or vermiculite, mix 1/2 ratios of perlite with whichever one u have and then take this 2nd mix we've discussed and add that as the top 4-5 inches of the bucket, this will allow the young, tender plant to have a root system and be fuckin happy n shit before it starts digging it's roots into those nutrients that await it in the first mix we made that lie 4-5 inches underneath the first mix... get it?

that's totally logical....i'll try that out on this grow...last time i just used whatever soil came in the bag, i think it was scotts brand, but still grew some dank trying to do better this time around, thanks for the advice.

I used Happy Frog straight out of the bag on my current plants and they are all doing great. I battled a magnesium deficiency a few weeks ago, but have resolved that since. No pH lockouts at all.

thanks for the quick reply. i think i'm going to go with happy frog instead of the ocean forest soil. mainly for the cost, but also because i read the pH of ocean forest runs around 6.3-6.8 that sounds a little high to me.
thoughts anyone?

I'm definitely watching this one, because my local hydro/horticulture shop carries the full line of FF products, but I can get a BIG (approx. 50Lb) bag of Happy Frog for the same price as a small (22Lb) bag of Ocean Forest. I was just gonna get the OF since everyone seems to recommend it and mix it in with Light Warrior and some perlite, but the Happy Frog is MUCH more economical if it will grow as well.
