| On average Id say it feed for 3-4 weeks. Thats for a small plant though. No soil will feed forever. Things get drained out and used up too quik. Thats why some people just start out with a soiless medium. Going to need to feed it sometime...Why not the whole time? | ||

| I agree with others. Depends. I had different strains side by side in ff outside. One a purple indica, another an indica dominant mango. Purple didn't like getting extra nutes, and was happy and green with only very minimal feeding. Mango on the other hand could never get enough extra nutes. I'd plan on giving your plants something in addition to what is in the soil. | ||

| I would say almost half of the growers on this site swear by fox farms soil. I however cant buy it anywhere near me, and have never bought it online. Ive used a bunch of different organic soils. If I ever get a chance to I will 100% go with fox farms, ive seen a few nice side by side grows on this site where people use ff on one plant and something else on another plant (same strain) and the fox farms usually does the best. If you have the money for the soil and some extra nutrients, I would buy the three pack of fox farms nutrients too. Grow Big, Big Bloom, and something else i cant quite remember lol... someone will chime in with that info.

Its by far one of the best straight from the bag soils. But its also one of the most expensive. Roots organic soil is at htg also I think. Its pretty much the same for a few dollars less. | |||

| o ... and that price seems kind of high for 1.5 cubic feet, plus they probably want to charge you by weight for shipping ? i dunno, i didnt check out there shipping rates *shrugs* so i could be wrong if it is a flat rate ... i have seen it elsewhere for cheaper, but the shipping was like 5 bucks per bag, or both ? *shrugs* | ||

... is the 3rd liquid. I also use open sesame, beasty bloom and cha ching. Beware of these solids as too much will burn. Stay on the low side of them. 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. Fox farm ocean forest rocks... JG
