i took the plant out of the miracle grow and broke up the soil a bit so it wasnt shaped like the inside of my old pot. put some fox farms soil down and placed my plant on it. filled it up all the way and packed it down a little bit... not too tight. watered it with 2 solo cups tap water. did all that last night... the leaves were droopy and didnt look all that good. didnt change much this morning either.

i left for work at 7am and just got home at 530pm.... all the leaves are pointed upwards and is looking very, very, very, very happy.

they grew into the lights... and have some slight burn. but not bad.

It was amazing, we have a window of old house plants, (one of the few things left that the x didn't take) and they were looking puny. Then I added just a bit of Foxfarm in the water and ZOWIE...instant happy plants.

You saved them!!! Such a hero:mrgreen:

I've wanted to change over to fox farm. but i go thru soil so much, and the price for a bag at the nearest store is over 100 dollars... so can anyone tell me if they reuse their soil? or what..

Try that compressed coco cor same as a big bale of pro mix or sunshine mix comes wrapped in black plastic an is like 5 inches by 10 by 10 inches thing is you can order through the mail an get it cheap mix in your own vermiculite an perlite and the likes of concetrated kelp some worm casting an some bat guano[Ckicken shit is the all around best fert there is if you can find it] an you are good to go the instructions on how much to use should come on the side of the packaging of the ferts good organic way to go

You can get fox farm(the ocean mix) on ebay for 39.99 with free shipping. Way better the 100.00:joint:
