I have been growing for quite a few years and have alwys used top grade soil. More recently, I have found gnats in Fox Farm soil and soil lice in another. I decided to go with sunshine #4 for my next garden and control the nutes. I am about to repot my current garden which is in FF soil now.

After learning more about the soilless mediums it occured to me that I really don't need to use FF soil because it is loaded with higher N-P-K and I really don't need the Nitrogen in my flowering stage.

Any thoughts on this?
I decided to go ahead with FF anyway so I don't shock the plants with different soil.

Does the fresh N have any effect on the flowering?
Would it have been better to find something with low N and higher P-K?

I definetly see the advantage to soilless mediums for complete control...
Also, Id' really like to hear from those who are experienced in soilless growing!

What say you?
