Indoor Happy frog potting soil any good?

[BR549]

Is this soil any good? Does it need anything like dolomite lime or what?​

I use it; all I add is Azomite. Seems to do fine by me.

I know this isn't exactly on topic, however on my last grow I used happy frog soil conditioner, only happy frog soil conditioner, now I did run into a few problems but in all honesty I was fairly impressed with it, I couldn't find any grows online using only soil conditioner and had already buried the hatchet by the time I realized my mistake so I went with it, grew 4 autos in smart pots, strains were NL x BB from WoS, CBD lemon supreme by nirvana, Ultra lemon haze by auto seeds, and gigabud auto by g13, the ultra lemon haze finished around 4 1/2 Ft tall, and the others were about 2 1/2 Ft tall, each producing between 60-70 grams per plant and probably would have done better if not for me using LED .... The tall plant Kida threw everything off because I use 2 fixtures and I had to pull the lights up off the canopy quite aways to accommodate for the haze plant, but the root structure was INSANE using only the soil conditioner .... It was able to breath and drain unlike any other soil I've used, the downside was 2-3x the watering and it was screwing my feeding schedule up being that the drainage from them was ridiculous... Either way I'd like to inform people that happy frog soil conditioner will work as a soil, stand alone, also a little plain organic soil on top will keep the soil conditioner from washing away from the stock and exposing your roots.

How much azomite do u add per gal?

I'm not sure; here's my ratio, taken from my latest grow: Soil is mixed in the following ratio: 6 cups Fox Farms Happy Frog, 2 cups perlite, 1 tablespoon Azomite.

Yeah ill give it a shot. Thats for the tips guys. I ordered roots organic ill see how they both do

 

[carl brutananadilewski]

I use roots organic, I add 1 qt pearlite per 6 qt soil, it's PH is always low, so I add a little (1/2 tsp) dolemite lime per gallon

I was also told to use 3 tbs per gal is that to much dolomite lime?

I use less than what you are waying, you can get a soil PH meter for about $20 at lowes, or test teh soil runoff, try to get it to a nice neutral 6.0, From my experience, I thing 3 tbsp would be too much lime, I think.
