Still good or no go?

[bugs]

We have some 9 yr old Happy Frog and Light Warrior.

Wanting to plant tomatoes in the HF and pop a few old seeds in the LW.

Do you think this soil is still good?

 

[MechaniMan]

It won't have the same nutrient content and probably to be denser because more organic material broke down, technically however soil doesn't really go bad. It will just be different.

Another Question:

Are these pots big enough for autos? I want to pop seeds in 'em and grow to harvest, with no transplant.

TIA.

I bet it's better then the crap they are pushing as happy frog now. We have a new store in town that carries a bunch of different soils, so I will be changing from happy frog.

 

[pute]

I can't tell but you need a 5 gal pot.

Bugs look up Carty he is a master with autos

I have never grown an auto...my plants flower when I want them to. I keep some plants in veg for a long time.

Not all of us get to grow trees brother, I wish I could. You garden gave me something to shoot for.

I don’t do soil but I had a friend recommend HF soil. So I tried it and instantly went deficient. Might as well be sterile rockwool.

I have had nothing but problems in the last year from hf, just like you said deficiencies from the start. I'm thinking about promix but they have others too. Always heard good on black gold, heard the same on kellogg. Had some good grows in kellogg but it's not the same anymore either. If I had a better setup I'd just get my feet wet with coco.

 

[OGKushman]

Soil is inconsistent. Period.

 

[WeedHopper]

Yep pretty much.

That's why I like hydro.

When and what changed? I've gone through several bags and haven't noticed a difference. I keep my mom plants in happy frog. Three base nutrients it contains keeps them happy for the first 30 days and then I start adding nutrients every watering.

Hydra left

I have had problems with it for a few years now. Now ocean forest is a different story. Used have good luck with hf but it started getting bad and hasn't gotten no better.

Same exact experience here. I have used Ocean Forest before and always have good luck with it. HF, not so much. We are a suspicious bunch!

I honestly don't know. Except I have always grown a perpetual grow and everything is timing. You have had to do it...for awhile.
