Switching from FF Ocean Forest to FF Happy Frog mid grow?

[tallicagolf]

I need to transplant into bigger pots by the end of the week since I'm starting flowering. The problem is that the hydro store is out of Ocean Forest and won't be getting any for at least another week. They do have a bunch of Happy Frog though, would it shock my plants if I used Happy Frog instead. My plants are in Ocean Forest soil right now which is why I'm asking... Thanks

i dont think it should have to bad of a shock i mean some people do mix there soils so i think you would be ok. cant u wait till they get some more back in or is it a time of desperate measures lol. dont forget to toke it up in about 6 min!

I'm on time constraints, I'm moving mid may so I need this grow to be done by then. Thats why I have to start flowering asap.

I still I have about 9 gallons worth of Ocean Forest left, which I could mix with the Happy Frog.... Anyone done this before?

I only use Happy Frog and honestly, I dont see why that dude said its "low end" soil.. Its great.. Its only a dollar or so cheaper than Ocean Forest.. What exactly is the diff in the two? All I do is mix one 8qt bag of perlite to one 2.0cf bag of Happy Frog and ive never had any problems with it. Granted, im only on my secong grow and the first one I had to end early and throw out ( long story ), but the statement that "Happy Frog is low end soil" made me confused.. how can a $30.00 ( varies dep on where you live ) bag of soil be "low end" ? I think its better than Ocean Forest as I have heard that OF is bad for seedlings. And since I go straight from Peat Pellets ( 2-3 day old sprouts max ) into my final container with Happy Frog soil ( no transplanting here ), I feel it is a better choice for me.. Any info on this would be great thx

Unfortunately the only decent soil the store by me sells is FF, so I don't have the luxury of trying different soils, but have been pretty satisfied with Ocean forest so far.
