Going to get new soil....what do you think???

[Lifeisaaaxtwo]

I was thinking of just getting some Fox Farms Soil and Mixing it with some Bat Guano...would this be suffice?? Or should I jus leave it as is....What do you guys mix with Fox Farms...if you do????

I think the only thing you would really want to add to fox farm is perlite and a little lime to stabalize the soil ph.

if you get the fox farms 3 part soil nutes, that has guano in it, and my girls are healthy as can be in ocean forest, I just use a tiny bit of the nutes with each watering and great white for soil ph stability

The perlite is always a good idea. Makes it easier on your roots.

How much perlite and lime exactly?

@Pref, whats great white?

Get the guano also....but topdress with it instead of mixing it.

For the perlite I would add like 20% to 80% soil. For the dolomite lime, that's a different story. It really depends on how much soil your using. Im gonna say go for less and do about a tablespoon per gallon of soil, mix it in. Make sure it's not hydrated lime, get the powdered or flake and mix it into the soil. You can always top dress with some dolomite lime later if you notice your soils ph is creeping up again.

1cup per Cubic foot of Dolomite Lime and/or Crushed Oyster Shell (longer release time then dolo)
i would add 20% pearlite, and atleast 20% Coco Coir.
look into Happy Frog Fruit and Vegetable 7-4-5 as a soil additive.

thats what im running right now actually. minus the lime. i didn't have a problem with pH until a few weeks into flower. I just watered once with my tap water and it seems my pH problem was fixed.
