Can you use happy frog for the plants whole life or is it only good for seedling?

don't know if it's the best but black gold seedling and black gold coco mix is working real well for me.

Is the soil you make yourself ;)

5 parts Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss or Coir
3 parts (medium grade) Perlite
2 parts Worm Castings or Mushroom Compost or home made compost
2 tablespoons per gallon (3.78L) Pulverized Dolomite Lime

Cheers!

yeah less of a pain to water the fuckers
but its really hard to overwater in coco
i got drip set up in buckets and just a little a day
then once a week check em with a meter
i wont be changing
but ive never used fox farms before and every one raves about them

soil is over rated.. there are all kinds of soil you can mess with... mix your own, buy one with pre packaged nutes or you can buy the expensive stuff... depends on the person

Ask any framer if soilis over rated. with that said I agree that there are many soil mixes that will work for mj. this is the one I use. http://www.wormsway.com/detail.asp?sku=BGCB920
i can't tell if you're agreeing with me or not...

i would think that a farmer would consider the way WE act over soil, and will say " yes, its over rated"... and my family did have a farm... never heard them discuss soil... they just worked with what they got and knew what to do with it...

I'll agree to a point. MJ Will grow in just about any soil, but how well it grows is another mater. The closer the soil is to the plants native soil the beter it will grow.
as for the family farm. If they were growing much of anything they used nutes of some kind. farm critters produce nutes but thats a hard way way to feed your crops.
