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..

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