Ocean Forrest vs Happy Frog

Discussion in 'First Time Marijuana Growers' started by GreenDazed, Feb 25, 2016.

  1. So it's about that time again where I need to re-up on soil. I've used both Happy Frog and Ocean Forrest in the past but can't decide on which to get. Are there specific benefits exclusive to one or the other? Your thoughts and opinions are welcomed.
     
  2. Are you growing outdoors or indoors?
     
  3. Happy Frog + perlite. Impressed me from day one.


    Ocean Forest is a mediocre soil imo. Gave it half a dozen grows to impress me before I walked away from it.
     
  4. Got a 50/50 mix my Lil plant seems to like it

  5. I'm happy frog and perlite so far no complaints.


    Seedlings have been looking good since day 1. Still green as can be and no nutes added
     


  6. Indoors, sorry totally forgot to mention that.
     
  7. Some people like happy frog for indoors. It needs more calcium and magnesium. Like coco. Good matchup with perlite.

    I get Happy Frog in 2c ft for $23
     
  11. If I'm not mistaken, ocean forest has more/better nutrients. This doesn't matter much if you plan to feed the plant with watering

    Happy Frog is soil for dummies and the reason I use it is I take my plants about 8 weeks without adding nutrients. When I do add I have learned better a little too little than too much.

    ThaT is based on one plant per 3 to 5 gallon smart pot.

  13. 50/50 OF/HF mix for me works like a charm!
    why pick one or the other when you can have both?
     
  14. and about 1/3 of perlite if you're in a solo cup or bout 33% that's what's working for me right now...

  15. I actually did some reading on it but dont have any grows under my belt. From what I understand happy frog promotes root growth but I think youd need some nutes as soon as it started flowering. Vs ocean forest where it might not do as good in Vegative but will do great all throughout the grow. I got some seeds germinating and I was gonna buy a bag of each and mix them

  16. Thanks for all the great info guys!
     
  17. Is happy frog not organic anymore?
     
  18. OF is a great soil but it can be really hot for young plants and seedlings, so start of cutting it down.
     
  19. Less than a foot tall? Happy frog all day. Over that then ocean Forrest.
