glad to see someone agrees with me ... Ocean Forest is outstanding soil, BUT, my sprouting seedlings were dying almost immediately, something that has NEVER happened before (40 years growing experience) ... the soil was the last possible variable, and sure enough, switching back to my old, milder soil immediately solved the problem ... then, after the seedlings were a couple inches tall, I transplanted into large pots of the Ocean Forest, and, they really took off :dance: ... my local nursery owner (a college botany degree grower) verified that the OF soil is too 'hot' for some strains, said he would have warned me, had he known I was doing young seedlings ... others here say they have nothing but good results with it, but, after ruining a couple hundred dollars' worth of seeds, I will never use it to start plants again ... it is said the OF soil is so rich, it may not need ANY nutes added before going to the flowering stage, but I have been feeding Earth Juice products at about 1/3 dilution, and everything looks great, so far ... all in all, great soil, but already full of nutes, right out of the bag ... go easy with the additional nutes ... :smokin:
