Wondering about this myself. They have this at my local Home Depot $20. Need some more base mix but hate going to “grow” stores. It is OMRI so how bad could it be? I plan to add EWC, a couple jobes spikes per pot, some chicken manure and xtra perlite if needed. Trying to build three mostly water only containers for a hassle free bloom phase….I usually get FFOF soil but it is now so overpriced

That stuff goes super hydrophobic. I'd stick with promix HP, or bx(not enough perlite in bx), or sunshine mix 4
Usable? Meh maybe, but not worth the problems imo when it's easy to get something better.

Have used sunshine mix; not too much different than ffof. What is the difference between pro mix HP and BX?…always thought these were soilless mediums; made of mostly coco.

Literally just the amount of perlite. (hp has more). They are peat and perlite. Sunshine 4 is the same (peat). Promix makes a cc. Which is peat/coco/perlite. Never used it though.

The sunshine mix #4 advanced is peat/coco/perlite and added goodies. I use it all the time for DTW and it works great and pretty cheap considering that a single bale is 3CF and when unpacked becomes 6CF. Grow green has the best deals on it that I have found

Theres a wholesale greenhouse supply place near me that I’m getting the 1.5 cubic ft bags of FF ocean forest from for $13.64. Look for a place like that maybe. I can’t afford the retail cost some of the grow shops charge nowadays
