As far as I concerned there is only one soil to use, Fafard 3B. It is the gold standard for greenhouse growing (not just reefer, most plants). It is also alot cheaper than fox farm, sunshine, promix, etc. It contains processed pine bark which makes for an incredibly soft and light mix.

yep anytime you delve into the soiless world youll find that it takes more attention to the little thing, ph being one of them. ive used both with success i guess i just prefer soil. never heard of fafard 3b where can one find it?


meded, superior organics
MEDEDCANNABIS Reviewed by MEDEDCANNABIS on . Soil VS. Soilless 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.
