Wonderful quality potting soil! However if you live in the country every varmint in the area will destroy what you've planted! Irresistible scent because of its quality. Now I only use this for indoor plants that never go outside and they thrive!

  • The Organic Gold Standard for Serious Growers: Why Ocean Forest is Worth Every Penny
Size: 1.5 Cubic Feet (Pack of 1)
If you’re tired of "yellowing" plants and constantly chasing pH imbalances, this soil is the "reset button" your garden needs. Here is the expert breakdown of why this 1.5cu ft bag is a staple in my greenhouse. The "Earth and Sea" Engineering: What’s Under the Hood? What sets Ocean Forest apart from the "big-box" bargain bags is the density of its nutrient profile. Most soils are inert; this is a living ecosystem. The Powerhouse Blend: It combines forest humus, sandy loam, and sphagnum peat moss for a texture that is light and fluffy but retains moisture exactly where the root zone needs it.[1] The "Secret Sauce": The inclusion of bat guano, earthworm castings, and sea-going fish/crab meal provides a diverse spectrum of macro and micronutrients. In my testing, I’ve found that most heavy feeders don't require additional nitrogen for at least the first 30 to 45 days of growth. pH Stability: The Silent Time-Saver For many hobbyists, the biggest struggle is "nutrient lockout" caused by pH swings. FoxFarm has meticulously adjusted this soil to a 6.3 to 6.8 pH range.[1][2][3] This is the "sweet spot" for maximum nutrient uptake. Even in 2026, where we have digital auto-dosers for everything, starting with a medium that is naturally buffered saves hours of headache and ensures your plants hit the ground running. PROS Ready to Use: This is truly a "rip-and-plant" soil. No need to add perlite (though a little extra doesn't hurt) or lime; the aeration and drainage are dialed in perfectly. Vigorous Branching: I’ve consistently observed stronger lateral branching and thicker stalks in Ocean Forest compared to standard peat-based mixes. Water Retention vs. Drainage: The sandy loam and forest products create a "wicking" effect that keeps the soil moist without becoming a swamp, significantly reducing the risk of root rot. Organic Excellence: It’s 100% organic-derived, making it the top choice for those growing vegetables, herbs, or "medicinal" plants where clean inputs are a priority. CONS "Running Hot": The biggest "pro tip" for this soil is that it can be too nutrient-dense (hot) for young seedlings. If you are germinating delicate seeds, I recommend cutting this 50/50 with Happy Frog or a light starter mix to avoid nutrient burn on tender roots. The Price Tag: You are paying a premium for the FoxFarm name and the quality of the inputs. However, the savings on liquid fertilizers for the first month often offset the initial cost. Fungus Gnat Risk: Like any rich, organic soil stored in warehouses, there is an occasional risk of fungus gnats. (See my Pro-Tip below!) Overall Input FoxFarm Ocean Forest is the definition of "buy once, cry once." Yes, it’s more expensive than the stuff you find in the outdoor aisle of a hardware store, but the results are undeniable. It transforms an average gardener into a "pro" simply by providing the plant with everything it needs from the roots up. Reviewer Pro-Tip: If you’re using this indoors, I always recommend bottom-watering for the first few weeks to keep the top layer dry and discourage gnats. Also, if you’re transplanting established clones or larger plants, go straight into Ocean Forest—they will absolutely explode with growth within the first 72 hours! Who is this for? Serious container gardeners, indoor "medicine" growers, and anyone who wants "Instagram-ready" foliage without the constant need for complex feeding schedules. ... show more

  • Fox Farm is a Dependable Soil and Nutrient line
Fox Farm is definitely a solid soil and fertilizer line. I use both Ocean Forest and Happy Frog in my garden and my plants grow beautifully. To those using Ocean Forest for their cannabis, I highly recommend layering with Happy Frog on top because OF runs a little hot for seedlings. I’ve been using FF for a couple of years now and my only complaint is one time my soil did have fungus gnats in it once but I was able to control it with glue traps (don’t use outdoors because they catch all insects) and diatomaceous earth. I highly recommend this soil especially for both price and quality. Photo of plant grown using Ocean Forest and Happy Frog from a past season ... show more

  • Worth The Hype And The Money!
Size: 1.5 Cubic Feet (Pack of 2)
I've bought quite a few of these for my beds and indoor plants. This is apparently a big name in the gardening community so I gave it a shot. Glad I did because it is definitely worth the hype. It is very effective. It made my plants grow super fast, I did not have a mold problem even when I accidentally overwatered, and the organic matter in the soil was the gift that kept on giving. Can't wait for spring to start using this stuff again! ... show more

  • High quality soil!
Size: 1.5 Cubic Feet (Pack of 2)
The media could not be loaded. Absolutely an amazing investment to however is growing Cannab is !! The two pack costing basically 70$ will give you enough soil for about four plants, and some of the left over soil, can be used eventually on the plants after watering them a few times, ( extra top soil ) !!!! Very happy with my purchase, this plant that i will post is a sour diesel ( auto flower from barney's farm) which has a little over 70 days. Ran on 18-6 cycle of light, will cut her tomorrow. The soil is great, highly suggest getting it! Also no need to give extra nutrients to your plants until they start flowering because the soil already has plenty of nutrients, and so you'll avoid over feeding them with extra nutrients !
