Deano86 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Hi Everyone , I have had experience with hydro but now looking to go organic. I know that you get freedom farms soil "have a bag already" but could u use normal lets say culturra or garden master potting soil add peat and perlite? Additional to that what would you feed weekly I know something similar to biobizz or organic fertilizers but what would work best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Hemp Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 A quick question Do you want to feed the plants or do you want the soil to feed the plants? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano86 Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 What do you feed ? Do you use basic potting mix? Looking to use clones from the hydro setup to plant in soil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Hemp Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I use Freedom Farms due to the fact that it is the easiest. All you need to do is water as all the nutes are present, or at least most of it. Advice from a fellow 420 grower is to use 1l of soil for each week the plant is in the pot. Alternatively you need to put together your own soil and amendments, because you can't just make use of potting in itself as it has very little of what the plant needs.

Justin Hemp Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 New clones and seedlings will first need to go into a seedling mix for a few weeks, the FF premium soil will be to strong for small plants.

Deano86 Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 100% so I will get some culturra seedling mix for the 1st few weeks then repot into a bigger container filled with the FF potting mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hein Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Is that Freedom Farm Soil from Hydroponics.co.za ? Because I'm getting some end of this month for my Amnesia Haze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to wipe my grow and bleach my entire tent and start from scratch. The culterra products (poting soil and compost) were full of bugs and after one night in my tent i found a ton of fungis knats flying all over. I have since switched to a premium potting soil. I am mixing it with pre buffered pure coco seedling mix in a 60/40 ratio along with some worm castings amd perlite. I have mixed it so it has the same texture and feel to Freedom Farms soil. So far its been good using this mixture. I am covering the top soil with perlite now to make sure fungis knats dont get any chance to hatch eggs in my soil. My tent is completely bug free atm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420SA Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I have also encountered a plague of fungus gnats in a bag of culterra compostSent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenkush Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Culterra potting soil is total garbage. I planted some chillies in freed farm and then in cultera. The chillies in FF are massive, the ones in cultera are practically dead and lifeless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
