Well, since I can't get my beloved Sunland Organic Potting Soil out here in Cleveland I am looking at Foxfarm's stuff. Anyone know about these guys? It seems like the stuff is REALLY good. I'm going to be getting them once it comes time to place my peppers into larger pots.

I've looked at that, but of course no one sells it around here.

Hey IGG, I've tried a bag of their Ocean Forest soil before and was satisfied with it's growth of my plants. I've only used it indoors not out and thought it a little heavy as compared to more of the "soilless" mixtures I use today. I only used it in small containers and was happy with drainage, it could be a bit much in a larger pot. I believe it's organic.

It sounds good, but it's WAY too expensive for me. I can't afford $15-$20for a small bag of dirt.

i AM using the ocean forest at the moment, i think it is a bit looser and drains better than the sunland, but sunland is a great soil too. in fact i just switched to fox farm from sunland and i am happy with the results so far. heres a pic of fox farms soil in action

Wow, nice root ball you got going there. Alright, I'm sold. I'm going to be dropping a shit load of money this year on soil....sigh....

I just used some foxfarm soil when transplanting 4 of my habs the other day. It seems like some really light soil, and my plants aren't going into shock...sofar.

Chris; that's a LOT! Got my bag for $7 at a hydro shop.

Again, stuff is ridiculously overpriced unless you're growing illegal stuff to sell (I don't).

Nah, for the regular stuff it does wonders!!!!!!!!! I've never had happier plants than with this soil.

I blend it (OF)with Pro Mix at a 1 to 3 ratio.It's a little to moist to use alone for my region.It's also a nice top-off for when I need some nutes.

Illegal stuff? Depends where you live!

And overpriced- yeah, it is where I get it. But I keep on doing it anyway. All my hydro store mediums blow the doors off my Home Despot mixes.
