Yeah, those are good. If you're going to use fox farms products they work best when their all used together. You wouldn't want to use MG soil with fox farm grow big nutes and then switch over to MG such and such nutes for the flowering stage.
I use fox farms Ocean Forest for soil
Some people use Fox farms lighter warrior soil for seeds and then switch over later to Fox Farm Ocean forest for The rest of veg and for when they flower. They say FFOF is too strong to start seeds in but I don't have FFLW here so I just use FFOF throughout.
I don't use Fox Farms Nutes though. I use Jack's Classic. Here's a link to the site in case you're interested. Very cheap yet effective nutes. the 8oz tubs are only $4.99 each..

Here's a thread about Jack's.

haha nice one
its quite hard to find a 150 watt hps system over here
im considering just getting a 125 watt envirolite cfl and an 85 watt cfl now, plus since i only have a small grow space heat could be an issue with a ballast in there

Oh crap...i do use MG soil for the potted ones.Thats a huge difference in price OhGr , ive commited to buying the Tiger stuff but reckon ill get some of Jacks as well and see which works best for me.
I dont ever use any kind of MG nutes , i use those for the tomatos is all outside....will i be ok initially using MG soil throughout and tiger nutes ?
This is the light im thinking of getting..if it checks out with everybody and its a good one ill buy it just now.

Well some MG soil has Time Released Nutes in it, (They look like little clear balls). So when you feed the FF nutes the soil gets wet and will also release some of the MG nutes as well. Then you could be looking at a bad situation.. Nute Burns like I have.
You just got to be real careful when using it. Most soils have enough nutes in it to last about a month. After a month then you start with the FF nutes. Just be careful. You might even want to start another thread about this. I don't wanna be the guy that screwed your grow. I'm by no means an expert. I just know what I know.

If you lived in the states you could use this to find a place that carries fox farms near you instead of paying an extra 15 bucks for shipping cost. Fox Farm soil on ebay is like 25 bucks. Fox Farm soil that is 20 minutes away from where I live is only 11.
