fyi, Sincerely420 does not appear to be posting here anymore. But I like this thread & method, so glad to see it still going !
I use a similar method to 420's, and do not feed every other watering.

Your feeding schedule is going depend on a number of variables, like your strain, condition of your soil & plant, size of plant, size of pot, etc.
I am currently using 420's soil mix, amended after a couple of grows. I feed the soil ~1/week (kelp/mol, compost tea once in veg & flower). If the plants shows deficiencies, I may use a fish or guano tea.

as long as you transplant right before you flip, i think you should be ok..its nice to have a base nute to use when you see early fading, or you can topfeed with more soil if you catch it early

I've tried Sub's recipe along with my own several different variations, some of which are within this forum. All of them were pretty good, although I did make a batch with some recycled soil which didn't seem to have the right PH buffers or ratios. I just put used soil in the garden now! Here's one from my mix somewhere in these pages, Cheers!

Thanks Don! That one was under 1000 HPS. Long veg for the gerth lol and yield lol. She had a few synthetics, I can't lie, I did cheat a little with some Cal Mag and some Jack's here and there ;)

fox farm isn't organic. their soil is now called "naturally smart soil" they changed something in it that makes it inorganic

I thought I had heard something about this. Does anyone have anymore information about what was changed in their mix?

The title of this thread just cracks me up. Sounds like a marketing slogan straight off the FF website. Because easy is the most important part of organics... riiight.

The only thing Americans truly fear is inconvenience.

I cant tell by looking at the two bags ingredients. must be one of the ingredients isn't organic

For shits and giggles, I'm wondering if your organic bag has any organic certifications? USDA? ORMI (which is a listing not certification)? Maybe it was never organic in the first place and they just got called on the carpet for it? lol.

Seriously, I'm curious. This product is no longer even marketed as organic, what the hell did they put in it?

P-
 
Do you guys have canna terra professional potting soil in the states? It's worth a look Its a real organic soil it is a very stable consistent mix (much more so than fox farms) and I've had very good results compared to fox farms. A simple mix of this with chicken manure, bone meal, high nitrogen bat guano and gypsum... Is the best organic mix I've found and requires no additional feeding until flowering, black and gold is almost as good but far to expensive to ship to Australia when filling large smart pots...

I've never seen it :(

I tell you what though, I did a single bag run of some Alaskan Ice in a bag of ecoscraps potting mix with a few added organics during transplant and that shit works proper for a cheap bagged vegan soil. I think its 7 bucks per 1 cubic foot bag and I bought it at Target. I'll def do another couple runs with it and see what I can get out of it. I ran out of my soil mix a couple months ago and nothing I'm doing stacks up with the my mix :(

This one is probably the closest run with a few additives. I'm fairly certain I got root aphids from FFOF.... I wouldn't say its Fox Farm's fault, these damn soils are all transported and delivered on the same damn trucks. Its a shame when you bring insects into your grow from something that should be sterile.

Have a good Sunday peeps!
