Don thanx a ton for such detail and wisdom you shared. I've been looking into this soil mix for a few years and it's awesome to see everyday people speaking soo highly about it. Peace N Love
Thanks for the great product, cause I just ordered your HP and was very curious about the soil, but this video alone helped me learn about this soil, but I didn't have a clue on the pass soils! Thanks again.👍🏾
Just got a huge bag of the BX. Coming from Fox Farms Ocen Forest and decided to go organic. My last two bags of Fox Farms had fungus gnats and they’re a pain to deal with. Good stuff but there’s so many better choices that are cheaper.
Thank you. So which one is better for microgreens? HP or HPCC? Did I understand correctly that with these soils you do not need to add any nutrients/fertilizers? However there is no fertilizer in them, is there?
Mycorrohizae is a fungi not a bacterium my dudes. The only fungi that interacts with canabis(as far as I know) and what a gem it is. Vegetable plants love bacterial dominated soils where as trees and shrubs prefer fungi dominated soils.
To be honest I rather listen to the guys that’s been in this business a lot longer than you plus judging from your spelling I won’t trust you with anything!

It's not true that Promix has no nutrients, "clean slate or zero ppm" as you say. It has a starter charge npk + micros. You can ask Premier tech for the data sheet for promix HP and it has all the ppm listed for their starter charge. You can saturate with plain water and start feeding in a week according to Premier Tech.
For indoors use HP so that it dries out faster. Wet to dry cycles are important. Especially inside because you don't have the sun drying it out. But either will probably work. They made a point in this video saying BX is great for outdoors. Outdoor grows you could have the sun dry your pots out bone dry quickly, that's where I feel BX would shine best. If you use the BX you'll be watering less often verses if you use the HP it will need watering more often.
@@xao512 • Really, because I talked to another grower from a different channel and that guy told me to kill it. I haven’t actually killed the white stuff yet so are you saying that’s good, because if it’s the good beneficial bacteria/fungus then I probably want to leave it, correct? Thanks for your input, I appreciate it.
D C to high of ph plants don’t take up nutrients to low ph plants take up to much nutrients your comment about peat breaking down peat moss takes yrs and yrs to break down it’s one of the reasons it’s used so I doubt the first round using t it’s going to break down enough to cause a problem.
Real growers alert lol. Nice to run into my kind. I can never make comments because I usually find ppl like you guys mentioning what I wanted to say lol
Also the mycorrhizae is the name of the symbiote created by the myccorhizal fungi and the roots of the plant. The fungi themselves are called myccorhizal fungi. I felt like Jeff Lowenfell had a vital urge to share this information so I’m thinking that it’s worth spreading the lord’s word. Better safe than sorry.
Coco coir is the number one most used media in hydroponics. The fact that you have the capability of watering anywhere from multiple times per day to once per day, every 2 days or even every 3 days makes this media very attractive to growers. Picking the proper container size for the watering schedule you desire is key. To say that the natural moisture retaining properties inherent in coco coir is the reason for growers overwatering is simply not the case. The possibility of overwatering in coco coir has nothing to do with a limiting factor of the media itself. rather it lies in the grower not maintaining the correct parameters for the size and current growth stage of the plant. pure quality coco coir holds a sufficient amount of water it also has excellent drainage. A quality coco coir has the perfect air to water ratio, so I don’t know where yall got that info from. If you have the proper nutrient balance, EC, light intensity, temperature and humidity for the size of your plant then it’s nearly impossible to overwater. Unless you have a product that has not been properly buffered or some type of coco blended with pete moss or soil materials in it, then yes overwatering is a possibility. The problem with the blended mixtures are the contradicting nutrient and watering requirements for each different media. But no ! pure quality coco coir is the most versatile media. As long as your watering schedule works well with your container size and your parameters are dialed in for the size of your plant and current growth stage, you’ll get the best yields and versatility from coco coir.
I love Pro-Mix HP in my autopot system!! I've noticed though it has become increasingly hard to purchase the already loose pro mix HP locally. Most of my local suppliers are selling the compressed version that needs to be rehydrated. I really want a pH neutral product, however, my tap water has an extremely hi ph level. Any ideas on how I can rehydrate one of these large blocks that produces 3.3 cubic feet of product, once hydrated, and keeping it ph neutral or at the proper pH of between 5.5 and 6? Would you suggest filling 5 gallon buckets of ph corrected water to the block? Should I get the medium to neutral or as close as to in between 5.5 and 6?
With using promix hp for my weed plants, do I add my dry amendments to it or will the promix hp be enough for the plant? And if I do add the dry amendments, when do I stay adding them
Hey, I’m growing with fox farm ocean Forrest in a small pot, just a little bigger than a solo cup, but I noticed my Ppm runoff is wayyy higher than what I’m feeding my plant. I want to switch to pro-mix when transplanting into a bigger pot, will this have any negative affect on my grow?
This winter with the temps Down just slightly in the house I can tell the happy frog soil by its self has to much water retention I’m a new grower and glad these videos are here, going to try 50/50 pro mix hp and ocean floor by fox farm this mix was recommended by the Cali grower TONYGREENHAND
You can it wont do anything bad, but the pro mix hp already has thicker chunks of coco fibers that hold moisture pretty good and also since the chunks are bigger you get a good aeration im your grow medium, hope that helped
Hearing mycorrhizae called bacteria makes me instantly disregard this video. It is fungi. Different families of living things bro.... Not saying everything else is wrong but damn.

Ocean Forest is supposed to be totally organic according to the bags I got, Google and a bunch of RUclipsrs.
Thank you for a easy breakdown of the difference between these products! Great, informative, easy to understand video. To the point! Thank you!
Thank you.

So, for wicking beds, use coconut core? Maybe mix with BX? Half and half???
Do you need to add nutritions in the pro mix hp to grow weed
Which one can I use for a drain to waste system...water and nutrients 2 to 3 times a day?
For use in raised beds, do I use this stuff as is, or do I mix it with soil or compost or anything else?
Experienced a lot of fungas gnat eggs in promix . Must steam sterilize before using indoors
Can I use the BX for an indoor marijuana grow ? Please help , first grow. Thanks.
Sure.

promix hp is 1080ppm and 6.1 ph
i use pro mix for my plants works great
Is it normal for what looks a fungus (white) or mold to grow in the soil, or do i have a problem?
I’m using “pro-mix HP, Mycorrhizae.
That's the mycorrhizae

I’ve heard the hp can give plants deficiencies late in flower. True or false..
I know.
It can have deficiencies because peat break down over time can mess with ph. Fuk boy
It can happen. I add a lil cal mag on last feeding before flush begins to carry through.

Can you mix a concentrate living soil with promix hp microrrohizae?
Phuck ya you can
If I'm using promix hp.. which I am should a feed with nutrients every watering? Plants are 3 weeks old
You can. But make damn sure u get at least 30% runoff each time
Feed water feed water feed water
Lmao he pronounced mychorrizae differently every time he said it 😭😂
And also its a fungus not bacteria
Lol, funny i thought too

Which one is better for growing vegetables in 5 gallon buckets?
Bx
mycroryzia (sp) doesnt work on every plant, just certain ones, like mary.
Only 95 percent
so when growing with the pro-mix. did I hear correctly there that is no need to PH water or feed with it?
Always Know your PH going in and out, even if someone says a product is PH perfect it all depends what you are starting with out of the tap.
U still need to feed ur plants 🪴

I think gallon jugs of distilled water is ph neutral. You'd want to verfiy that with the brands you can find available to you.

Once a soil is buffered its pretty hard to throw it off
Thank lot for this very interesting video brother...

no it should improve your plant uptake a lot. and the runoff should be more consistent
The only way you're gonna know your ph of your soil is to do a slurry test checking the ph run off will not gave you an accurate reading
You shouldn't be feeding in ffof the forest 4 weeks
That's a hot soil Broham... if anything mix the two together maybe 2 parts fox farm to 1 part promix
isnt microrizae a benefifial fungus.. not bacteria?...

What do you think about using promix premium all purpose mix(black n blue package) for growing cannabis?
It works. 100%. But it's worth the upgrade to use promix FLX as a base to a custom mix specific to what you are doing
My questions just been answered thank you
That’s the guy from duck dynasty
You don't have to test PH with this?
no
In Canada I buy ProMix Organic Veg and Herb, organic certified with mycos! Great stuff for indoor organic gardens!
im useing the same stuff. what do u ph your water to?is premium veg and herb soil or soilless or somthing in between?
I love the stuff
this is very good because it drain alots of ecces water so you cant overwater it
Great content guys
Hi, do you need to add perlite if you’re using the HP one for indoor plants? Thank you!
