what organic soil to use with botanicare

Canna has an organic line that is nice but if you want to go organic and save money I would suggest you go to your nearest lawn store and get youself some AgeOld products, there is a bloom mix as well as concentrated kelp for your base nutrients and a little goes a long way!
 
Any would do, its all on what your confortable using.
I can say I have used Foxfarm Ocean forest before with Botanicares normal non organic line and it worked out nice, never got above around 1/4 strength feeding for 12 weeks worth of grow.
 
If vegging under 6 weeks you really dont need any at all.
I was using around 1/4 veg food after the final transplant, somewhere around week 4
 
I like to mix Light Warrior in with Ocean Forest. It helps with drainage, gas exchange, and root growth. Helps them dry out a little faster for more waterings and eventually more feedings with liquids.

I mix in some guano,or an all purpose mix(5-5-5) to cover all of my nutrition until I flower.
 
dose FF ocean forest do enough with drainage threw life cycle ? i have veg / bloom food i was gona ad for nutes. botanicare pure blend pro soil... and then was thinking to add super ulta maxx ( not sure when thats able to start applying) and gravity...
 
You should look into Roots Organic indoor im running it right now with my current grow and its kicken ass just make sure you use ph 6.7 cuz the soil has petemoss and fresh petemoss has a low ph cuz its acidic but it works really well but my Nutes are Advanced Nutreint G,M,B and its worth the money look into it tho!! good luck

Mixing with Light Warrior gives you the drainage you need, and better root growth. And careful with that gravity, a little goes a long way. Only apply once.
 
I believe so. Some growers report strange nutrient uptake right after applying, not sure how it works or what it's made of. Same with all of their products.
 
oh thats weird the only post i read on it says u apply it with ur nutes ( well this was organic soil grow) .. dunno how many times.. or exactly when but i know its toward the end of flowering... i hear purp max is safe sum ppl say threw whole life others say threw all of flowering.. if any one has anythin to add?
 
Right, I believe it's just kelp extracts. 100% Organic.
The other products are so effective, I'm not sure if they're growth regulators or what. I know of one grower who used gravity and his product was so dense that he got Botrytis. Crazy. Lot's of people here use bushdoctor to stop stretching on lanky varieties.
How kelp extract can cause plants to purple is a mystery to me, but I have never used it. I feel like it's all about the genetics and temperature.
I saw a greenhouse turn purple overnight once when the temp got down to around 50. That was awesome...
 
Ignore purple maxx, its been formulated into Snow Storm Ultra now I belive.
I am a fan of snow storm, I use it all the way threw flower, every third watering.
