perlite is basically little pebbles that are great for water retention... and coco coir is probably the best nutrient substance out there... its basically coconut shreaded and mixed up with a bit of soil like stuff. will provide a great nutrition for the begining of the grow.

dont fo with FF ocean forest, i used this soil and it stays too compact during growth...the best soil that i found at the hydro store was the growers perfessiol soil it only cost about $8/ 2 cubic feet. this soil has nothing in it and it stays really lite and loose. you will have to add some MYOCHORRHIZAE granules $12, and maybe some bat guano or worm castings so that there is nitroge n available....Im also using Foxfarms tripple threat, grow big, tiger bloom, and big bloom...and water soluble products open seasame, beastibloomz, cha ching, excellent stuff.

Dude i c there are alot of opinions as to what the best soil around is. Well in my opinion fox farms is great stuff, but iv used it side by side to some stuff called Roots Organics. The roots blew the Foxs farms out of the park. Foxs farms is over priced and its a little to compact for my comfort. Roots is only 10 a bag, and its organic as fuck, but so is fox farms. I think roots is available online if u dont live in oregon, just yahoo it or google wat ever ur preferred search engine is. If ur choice is between FF and miracle grow theres no question that FF is the better choice. But b4 u go FF try and find Roots, its the best soil iv ever used by far.

Yes, just mix with perlite. Light warrior is good also, just needs less perlite.

i bought a bag of ocean forest a while back, and my Diesel Ryder seeds just cam3 in the mail (w000t!). Is it a good idea to germ the seeds (papertowel method) and then just put them in the FF ocean forest straight up? I only ask because i read somewhere that ocean forest has alot of nutrients in it to begin with and it could possibly burn their roots when they're that young. Much Love
