I grow in Fox Farms Ocean Forest too, had really good results with it for seedlings, veg, and flowering.
But I make my own mix, here is the McOne Medical Soil Mix: 1 part Fox Farms Ocean Forest, 1 part Fox Farms Light Warrior, 1/2 part worm castings, 1/4 part sphagnum peat moss, 1/2 cup bone meal, some pearlite and vermiculite(more if not cutting the FFOF with FF-Light Warrior), 3/4 cup seabird guano, a couple handfuls of expanded clay balls, one table spoon epsom salts and one half table spoon dolamite lime. Mix it up real well and let it sit for a day or two before using it.. It is fairly nutrient 'hot' so you just water with plain water for 3-4 weeks until your plants let you know they need nutrients.

If you dont want to do the whole mix, just add some pearlite to your FFOF or mix it 50/50 with Light Warrior.
Peace man!

That sounds real 'hot'. I've thought about making my own soil mix, all in good time. Thanks for the recipe!

Hey cph, I also use FF Ocean Forest, Currently mixing it 50% FF Ocean Forest, 25% FF Light Warrior, 25% large perilite it seems to be working good! I think ya just can't go wrong with Fox Farms really
Thanks for your input Twils!
It's been 2.5 days and not much action on the germination..
None of the PJ or the WW have sprouted. 2 of the MN have and probably need to go in to dirt tonight.

Thanks for the support guys!!
They are popping! 4 with a possible 5th. The 2 MN, the WW, and 1 of the PJ maybe 2.
I finally made it to the garden center. The MN would've gone in dirt yesterday, if I made it to the store 10 min sooner. As soon as I got off work today I went, spent $50 and hope it's worth it.
I got 1 bag of FFOF for $16.99, cheaper than the other place in town.
I also got FF Big Bloom and Grow Big, I already had the Tiger Bloom.
Here are the MN, you can see why they should've been in dirt yesterday. They both lost the shell in the process, but should be fine.
Here is the 1 WW I have. I've decided if it's a male I'm going to use it to pollinate a PJ. If things go right it will be a female though!!
All I want for xmas is BIG Purple Jesus buds!!! This is were it starts, seeds under the tree on a xmas plate. I think the 1 on the lower left is getting ready to pop as well.
Happy and warm in their new homes! These are the lights in that fixture right now, http://www.lightingsupply.com/F34T12-CW-RS-EW-ALTO.aspx?gclid=CKfYrMHc95wCFSXyDAod0EjKbw. Not the best for growing. The other bulbs are growing lights. I tried to hang 1 of the 2 bulb lights and it quit working. I think the bulbs are old. They were a gift and I didn't get a real clear answer about their age. Looks like a run to get new bulbs this week end.
I plan to build the A frame to hold both of the 4 light fixtures. I just need more time in my day.
