so, I just got a grow tent and don't want to use happy frog because I've been using it for my outdoor grows and always have problems with bugs.

Can’t go wrong with fox farms never had a problem. Got one bag that leaked from Amazon. I sent an email to them Amazon replaced it. I also sent an email to fox farm and they sent me 2 bags one to replace one that leaked and 1 for my trouble and for letting them know I had a bad experience with one of their products.

Try that from Alaska. They don’t even reply with sympathies. Shipping is ridiculous to Alaska.

Yeah you are kinda out there. Wish you good luck. Delivery must be a bitch. I am on the east coast 30 minutes east of the White House so we can get anything local or from Amazon next day. Virginia and Washington DC, legal. Maryland just voted for legalization and it passed, will go into effect 07/01/2023 but medical is ok now. You in the middle of nowhere?

How far along is your midnight snack? Good to hear someone less experienced has managed to do okay with greenpoint seeds.

I am in no way an expert. I have grown plenty of plants organically in a small as 2 gallon pots.
It isnt really that complicated, or require any hocus pocus. Just take some promix or similar potting soil, add the recommended dose of your favorite dry organic fertilizer and you are good to go. When they get hungry you can either topdress with more, or feed with an organic liquid nute as needed.

Not sure why you seem angry.
Check out the dte website. They actually recommend against cooking their products and make that clear. It is good to go right out of the box.

I've had issues with cooking as well. I have found the nitrifying bacterial population will leech the available n if you cook too long. I was doing 3-4 week cooks and basically needed to top dress at original potting or I'd run into N issues within three weeks of germination in a hot medium. The more active and hot my pile gets, the quicker the n is consumed from what I can see..

Stopped cooking and now I'm getting far better results. By the time the plant is mature enough to demand a decent feed rate from the medium (around week three) the organic material is readily available. If you have an active microbial community the decomposition starts as soon as the material is added to the mix.

I can see a cook being required in certain mediums that lack microbial activity, but that cook should focus on propagation of bacterial and fungal colonies, not the breakdown of fresh organic material.

I'll cook microbes for a week or three, and then add the amendments before potting. There's always enough organic/mineral content in the base yard loam, Coco and vermicompost to brew microbial activity without needing to add the amendments then and there.

I can't say this is 100 percent correct, as I've only cooked three runs of organic medium, and have only done a few runs with uncooked medium. I could have watered better, had better environment or better genetics, but I did find it odd the N issues during pre flower disappeared when I stopped cooking the exact same amendments and base.

I can't even begin to imagine. Im in Aus and it's pretty exxy, however I just got done watching a short doco on life in northern Alaska. Prices for basic necessities were astounding.

I quit bitching about our food prices pretty quickly.
