Yea i just got a HUGE bag of Fox Farm Ocean Forest for $16.99 at my local hydroponics store. Its pretty much ONLY sold at specific places, But if yu Google Fox Farm you can easily find the website and it will let u know a close place that its sold at. Thats wat i did, turned out it was sold not even 15 minutes away from me, But its the only one in 150 miles. lol. you win some yu lose some. But a wise choice in soil.

ok thanks guys sorry for the newb question

Its hard to go wrong with a good organic soil, but fox farm is the best

Its a good question with really only one good answer on this forum... =]

JK... This stuff sells like hot cakes and is very popular... By the sound of it it goes fast at my local store... =]

Cant go wrong on that... !!

I use whiney Farms and Perlite (2 to 1 more or less). add about a teaspoon of dolomite lime and extra boxed organic mixed fertilizer (1/8 cup) per gallon of mix. More fertilizer when potting into last stages. Boxed fertilizer contains: bone meal dried poultry waste,cottonseed meal etc. etc. etc. But most importantly it contains mycorrhizal fungi and bacteria to digest the food for my plants and make the soil a nice place to live. if I'm rich at the time I also add (one of the only things I add as much as the directions say) extra soil fungus. My hydro guy had a little bag i bought for about 5$. he wasn't way up on it, But soil microbes ROCK. I definitely see a difference when using it.

Fox Farms is pretty premo stuff I see the label and it adds up a little acidic to me. Check the threads at the beginning of "Organics". Some good soil mixes in there, cheaper than mine and Fox farms. Saving money good.

Two things I do that I don't see mentioned a lot;
Dolomite lime-sparingly
Soil Fungus (I think I'll start a religion)

Both my method and Fox farms (If I was using fox perlite would need to be added) are pretty expensive. I'm going to read up and see what the wise young people of rollitup have to say (stickys) before I invest in my next soil batch.

thanks guy alot
this really cleared up some confusion i had

I'm going to look into the fox farm organic to see if there's a place in my area that I can get it that's close ... Up till now I have been using ProMix organic soil, it has - Canadian Sphagnum Peat moss (cause im Canadian)
- Mycorise Biological Growth enhancer
- Organic sea-based compost, (not sure of the breakdown)
- Perlite
- Limestone

It seems to be working great for me,,I have not had any trouble..
