Fox Farm's Ocean Forest VS Strawberry Fields

mebbe me missed the memo :shrug: but i thought mexico already decriminalized weed like last year :confused1:
Decriminalized is not the same as legalize. Anything under 5 grams is no jail time or fine but they can make you attend drug awareness classes. Nothing is illegal in Mexico for the right amount of $$$. I am just waiting for the parameters for casual users and growers like me. There are really 2 sets of laws down here. The law that is applied to Mexican nationals and the law that is applied to everyone else. Mordida (little bite or bribe) is the name of the game down here. I am in the process of obtaining my Mexican citizenship and passport. Once I get that I can no longer be thrown out of the country for any reason they see fit. Check out article 33 in the Mexican constitution.
 
In Mexico if you challenge a law in the supreme court 5 times and it is ruled in the challenger's favor the the law is declared unconstitutional. The court ruled on the 5th and final case that the law against personal use is unconstitutional. Now we are in kind of a limbo state because the law has been declared unconstitutional whereas if you are arrested for possession and it gets to court charges will immediately be dismissed. Why would they even detain you then you ask? One word answer, money. They can work you for the mordida or bribe. The Supreme court has now told the Mexican government they have to change the law.They gave them a time frame. I think it was by mañana. LOL. First Spanish lesson. The meaning of mañana. Tomorrow you say? No, in reality it just means not today. In the meantime they can still arrest you, put you in jail and hold you until you go to court. This will never happen to a Mexican national but since I live in a country where payoffs are not only accepted, they are expected, I would end up paying. How much would depend on where you were able to stop the process. Judges are more expensive. Traffic cops not so much. Mexico is under the Neapolic code of law. Down here you're pretty much guilty until proven innocent. If you're in a car accident and the cops show and no one will admit guilt, you both go to the station until someone accepts responsibility. Frivolous lawsuits are rampant down here and you cannot ignore them because you are guilty until proven innocent. Therefore, you have to hire a lawyer and defend yourself. I once had a guy that got angry at me for hitting on his girlfriend before I was married and sued me in court saying that I had defrauded him out of a property. He paid the judge money to rule in his favor. My lawyer found out who the judge was, paid more money to not only dismiss the case but also put the guy in jail for a couple of days for making false statements to court officials. The phrase "money talks and bullshit walks" was coined down here. I like it! I got stopped one time for doing 120 klicks in an 80 km/h zone. Cost me 100 pesos which was about eight dollars at the time. The town where I get my drivers license issues them for two years at a time. If you wait until there is no one else in the office you can offer more money for more years. Not legal for them to do that but I'm not gonna let a little detail like that stop me. I got mine for six years. There is no written or driving test required for anyone in the town where I get my license. Only one requirement. $$$. I like it! Now if I could just get the stuff I needed to do a grow the way I want to everything would be cool. Thanks for listening to my rant. LOL.

Oh no that's cool
 
If you can get FF Coco Loco instead of that Frog and Ocean stuff, you should try it out. I'm running a 1st grow with FF Coco Loco right out of the bag with some pretty good results.
 
If you havent planted yet. Do yourself a favor and dont use fox farms soil. If you look under the infirmary and sick plant section. Myself included was in there in the past but you will see exactly how many people are having so many issues with ph swings in the soil around week 5. Now that im warning yoh and if you monitor your ph runoff every watering you can probsbly well maybe keep it xorrected. When it jappened to me it went downhill fast. Good luck if tou continue to use it. Just hate seeing new growers put in work and the soil be shit and mess ir up for them. Just look up ocean foresr and fox fsrms happy frog problems on this site and youll probably just use that for cabbage or letruce next garden season.
Thanks for the warning Boog. The guy that is bringing the seeds is gonna bring a soil PH tester also. After your post I did some searching and saw other people complaining about high PH in OF. I will keep a close eye on it.

Good deal man hate to see you make same mistake as me and just be careful. Mine went low. And another person i talk to on here theres went low. Week 5 my ph was around 4.8 i was feeding at 6.5 once i found out. Took me 3 weeks of feeding around 8 ph to get it to about 6.0. By harvest i never made it into the ph zone for soil. Good luck man i hope your batch is ok. Starting around week 2-3 i would monitor every watering.

shit, mine was/is jus the opposite, at 7.5, lol :shrug: ppp
 
I check my soil when I check whether it's time to water using the Accurate 8 soil/water guage and it's never more than 6.8. I PH my water/food down to 6.2 and it seems stable enough at around 55 days. Hoping it stays this way. LOL don't jinx me know. :crying:
 
Im sure its different with every batch..one thing thats consistent with fox farms soil is inconsistency
