Ok as we should know Fletch is the usual aero and hydro guy but occassionally I do some dirt grows for old times sake.So I decided to go little further and do an organic soilgrow and grabbed few bags of Humbodlts Happy frog ,verm,and perlite..So now the question for those who use this soil setup.Im using 10 gallon pots under 2 1000 watt lights doing 10 plants 5 per light basicallly and gonna grow them fairly big and bushy for indoors thinking 5 foot tall 5 foot round going for some bigger weight on less plants hopfully. What kind of mix ratios do you guys like with this soil and how often is watering with the soil as in does it hold moisture well or does it filter through fast as we know exacts are not what I m looking for.Do you who use it like to add nutes and what kind or is this best with just bat guano and worm castings? Gimmie some thoughts and ideas Im open to see what you guys like with this dirty dirt...

I've had the best results with a 50/50 mix of Happy Frog & Ocean Forest. One big bag of each. All I add is a cup of Dolomite lime per mixture. Works great!

I water when I see the first leaves start to sag, & then I water them well.

P.S. I am a confessed 'top dresser', with bat guano every 2 weeks. This works well for me, with very little fuss.

Good luck!

Sounds good keep the thoughts comin

FilthyFletch...... Happy Frog will make you smile....Good Stuff.... I've used it cut like this : Happy Frog 50 percent / Peat Moss 30 percent / Perlite 10 percent / Worm Castings 10 percent.
.
I only watered once a week (heavy) for the first three weeks. Caught the run off, bubbled it in a bucket & feed it back to my plants. I Recycle....
.
I too am a great lover of Bat Guano. I use it in tea form. Read my thread Making Tea is EZ & Cheap &/or The Three Amazing Shits.... lot's of info on all Organic ferts that work, don't cost much and help Mary reach maximum potential.....
.
Plus, let me HIGHLY RECOMMEND...Subcool's Canopy Management thread, in his sub-forum... An excellent read.... I agree with him 100 percent about getting the most out of your girls, by proper management.
.
Plus...I'm a big advocate for water weekly, fertilize every two weeks - it helps you avoid the two biggest growing mistakes - Overwatering & Overfeeding......

Low, Slow & Steady....Rules the Day....

Keep it Real....Organic.....

So far not a real fan of this soil

i just switched to organic soil from hydro. I am waiting on my lowrider 2 and white widow all fem packs to show!

I looked at happy frog. It looks like a good deal however I ended up as I scrambled to learn dirt going with ocean forest and light warrior and dolomite lime and extra perlite.

All organic, but ocean forest runs hot. So i cut it with light warrior. Light warrior and happy frog sound the same.

One bag to one bag and 10-20 percent perlite. I hear ocean forest is compact for soil and I just got it and it has perlite in it. SO I gather a fast dry is good. Also a cup to 2 cups I have read of dolomite. I dont know exactly why and I dont know if I still need cal mag with ro and a I still need a good ph mix becuz wow I racking up the dough.

Listen to ohsogreen, thanks ohsogreen, I have reading your posts on blue mountain organics spt all night. Both of the big ones. I got my bottle last night and have been bubbling it with an airstone. I plan to use botanicare soil, with hydroguard, super plant tonic, cal mag, worm and bat teas. Mexican for veg and jamaican for flower.

I stil dont know if I can use dyna grow or liquid karma also, both of which I have, but I am thinking no.

So I hope organic is a sexciting for you as it is for me. Man I get excited just running my hands through her hair, i mean all that rich dark soil. lol.

If you are in the west i recomend bghydro. they ship form around la.

mailing myself dirt makes my eco self cringe lol. thats what i tell the green planet my latest thing to watch@!!!

ok, I just read that I should use a cup of fine dolomite lime powder per cubic foot.

this is fine. except it says fine dolomite lime flour, not the course stuff. I got the little rocks. lol, ow, wtf now. It says the course stuff takes a year or more to become available to the roots of plants.

Is this true? I did not see the flour anywhere when I bought it, and this is the stuff they said mj growers use.

Dolomite lime is awesome it looks. It has a natural ph of 7 so it cannot ever go above 7 in the soil and also it will raise the ph of acid soils along with its own. Someone in nature loves us

back to reading. Maybe I can crush my rocks. i got a hammer.
