That is what I bought to start my indoor grow. What kind, if any of nutrients did you use later in the growing cycle?Ocean Forest is the way to go IMO. Has everything you need rather than messing with making a mix, buying all the stuff you need for it etc.

Fox farms Grow Big and then Tiger Bloom. I used to buy all their powdered crap and unnecessary stuff, learned sticking with the basics and keeping things simple was the way to go. Fewer problems for sure.That is what I bought to start my indoor grow. What kind, if any of nutrients did you use later in the growing cycle?
I use dry amendments now and build my soil up when I was running only fox farm I would use the advance nutrient line for flower. That’s when I was running liquid nutes. Now I use the Gaia green 4-4-4 with some extra kelp meal and worm castings I also add in dolomite lime and a few other things and use the Gaia green 2-8-4 and compost when I top dress for flower powerThat is what I bought to start my indoor grow.

So full of misinformation... "cooking" is in no way required for organic growing.organic requires time to "cook" and be available for your plant, and requires large containers for proper microbial activity blah blah blah
Think about this...if you're growing in organic soil, the soil needs to stay moist to keep the matter active. In a smaller pot, it dries out quicker as they get bigger which means you'll be watering more, top dressing more etc just to keep up with it. Why not do a large pot and keep them happy? I keep my pots in Coco about 2.5-3.5 gal for finish because it's synthetic and they don't have the same food web as soil. But hey you're the expert right?So full of misinformation...

Small containers are fine as long as you're not attempting a water only or no till living soil.

I am in no way an expert. I have grown plenty of plants organically in a small as 2 gallon pots.Think about this...if you're growing in organic soil, the soil needs to stay moist to keep the matter active.
