Thank you! your review was submitted
I couldn't find a rating of how much to order so I ordered way too much. Three 3 gallon bags, I had quite a bit left. Three 5 gallon bags, you will have some left over. For a 2'x4' grow booth 2 or 3 grow bags is all that will fit. One bag may give you enough for five to six 3 gallon bags, probably five. One bag will give you three 5 gallon bags full.Hubby has allergies and this stuff gives him issues. I have to fill pots outside then bring them in and put them in the grow booth and any leftovers have to be rebagged and sealed. The gloves which were only in one shipping box, are cheap household chore type ones but with the smell this stuff has you might be glad to use them. Head and Shoulders shampoo used straight will get the smell off your hands. I also have to keep my charcoal filter going all the time that this mix is in the booth.My soil was 'wet' so the bags were heavy. I had fungus gnats from another potting mix, this batch didn't have any. I have houseplants though so I have gnats. I bought a Katchy from Amazon, that works wonders in getting rid of your gnat problem. I was having an issue with gnats getting into the grow booth so I got one and turn it on at night and it is near the booth. At one and at two weeks, I put the Katchy IN the booth for one night overnight each time and it took the bug issue right down. After two weeks you will be going into bloom so don't do it any later than 2 weeks. I did get some sort of little tan worm, long skinny that ate across a leaf, but I caught it right away and made it into paste. It may have come in that bag.This soil is wonderful, the seed start well with a clear pop bottle with bottom cut off and lid removed over the seed. Hold down to water around outside so seed isn't washed away, take off when second true leaves appear. This soil isn't like peat moss, it doesn't 'shed' water quite like peat moss. It can FLOAT though, so be careful about washing roots out. It will soak up and hold water quite well, especially in a grow pot. A five gallon watered once or twice daily needs about 3 quarts of water at a watering.This soil will take care of a heavy eating cannabis plant to around three weeks. At that point top dress and start adding what the leaves show you they need. For a good strong plant right out of the gate, this stuff is EXCELLENT. I've not had damping off or starting issues, and plants will be vigorous and healthy. It takes a lot of the guess out for a beginner.Price fluctuates. It will keep, keep it from freezing, and try to use within a year. It seems expensive but figure half of the cost is shipping and in that case it is in the upper price of pot mix of other brands. This one is by far the most complete.Suggest you get some Humbolt Cal-Mag, and use at half strength and maybe a pint and water in (got that here on Amazon) as the first thing I see is calcium shortage from this mix. (Mix as per instuctions then dilute 50%)After harvest IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY DISEASE going on, de-rootball this and dump it into your garden to add volume and de-compact soil, it will help.If you have limited space, an urban dweller, and/or are a beginner, I highly recommend this soil. It is worth the money.

I recently upgraded the size of my soil pots for my plants from the 4"x4" they started in to 2 gallon pots, and I expected some transplant shock. I am very delicate to the plants during this process but with new soil, nutrients, PH changes, and adjustment to water uptake from larger pots, shock is often unavoidable. My plants responded with pleasure. I added a few tablespoons of organic fertilizer and 10% ratio with VermisTerra earthworm castings ( I am a private citizen and do not work for them, but I must say these castings are quality, and that matters, too) and then carefully transplanted all my babies. I could tell the minute I sifted through the heterogeneous mixture that it was going to perform well as a medium. Two days later, and my plants are LOVING IT! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! When they say, " you get what you pay for", this product is the perfect example. I would post pics but... ;)

It was supposed to come with gloves, but that's fine I wouldn't have used them. Maybe for cleaning the sink or tub maybe. Haha. But it did come with a few finger sized holes towards the bottom. The soil performing nicely. And that's what's important. I didn't have to add nutes for over 3 weeks. I'm almost done with my autos I'm growing in the HP. A couple weeks left maybe. This worked nicely. I buy local compost soil for my outdoor growing, but for indoor something like this maybe with a bottom layer of super soil would be perfect for indoor and you probably wouldn't need to do much in the way of nutes other than maybe supplemental ones like terpene enhancers or molasses for eg.

this arrived very quick, the cardboard boxes they came in were trashed but the bags were fine, felt bad for the delivery guy as they are so cumbersome. i bought 4 then promptly reordered another 4, will order more as needed and if available. this soil is gorgeous and i mean that. thick, lush, no smell. it feels good in the hand, its not too light with fillers. prime stuff

I like how amazon asks about ‘flavor’. The price is decent, actually it’s not much more than buying organic miracle grow soil and they give you gloves to work with the soil. It’s pretty nutrient packed. I planted seedlings in it and gave them nutrients and they actually bolted a bit because they had too much nitrogen. Haven’t been fertilizing since and everything looks fantastic. I would give it a try.

This soil has increased growth speed and I personally think the bud sizes.

This Fox Farm stuff is great! I started plants in the ocean formula then got this to cultivate with, going into flower. I was looking for "live" soil to boost organic grow and this was reasonably priced. You see plants thrive, just add water!
