FoxFarm FX14054 12-Quart Happy Frog Organic Potting Soil

Good soil. Needed to transplant a plant & needed decent soil. No bugs like other products.

Not only does this soil provide long term nutrition to MJ plants—didn’t have to start fertilizing til 2 months!—which tend to suck the soil dry fairly quickly, but it works amazing with succulents (I added some perlite) and any other greenery you can imagine. Just an amazingly nutrient rich soil, I use it for everything! Even my fiddle has been thriving in it, after two years of no growth!

Compared to another organic competitor that I purchased on Amazon at the same time a few weeks ago, the Happy Frog soil is seriously the top performer.For clarity,Photo 1: Happy Frog in back, competition in front, & 2nd round of fantastic corn starters on the left. All the corn started in this brand popped up quickly and is seriously thriving post-transplant. Cannot say same about competition.Photo 2: Happy frog moved to the left, competitor on right. Hoping some of the ones that were on the edges might sprout in the middle of the tray... no luck. Oh well. That’s more likely due to my homemade seed tray setup than either soil. Anyways, HF plants stronger & more numerous than competition.Photo 3, about a week later: HF double seedlings we’re transplanted into other spots where seeds did not sprout. I’m impressed by how much healthier & more numerous the Heal All seedlings are doing compared to the competition.Photo 4: Corn starters mentioned in Photo 1. The one that did sprout in the competition’s soil is still much smaller than the 2nd round of seeds sprouted in HF, and not very healthy.Note, photos 1&2 auto-rotated when I uploaded them, thanks amazon...

No matter what plants you are growing, Happy Frog by FoxFarm potting soil is some of the best you can buy. The only thing better would be ProSoil Mix which is expensive and can be finicky if you buy it from the wrong vendor. I use a seed starter mix or jiffy pods for all my seeds, no matter what I am growing. Once roots start to show, into Happy Frog they go! The great thing about Jiffy Pods is that you are not disturbing the roots like you would in a tray of dirt. Less transplant shock and once roots push out the side, you know its time to transplant into Happy Frog! Within 7 days you will see a transformation in color, width and height. You can get similar results with a good feeding system and poor dirt/plain coco coir, but why do that when Happy Frog gives you everything it needs for the first month? Ive used dozens and only 2-3 others can compare to quality and being bug free. Ive never had a gnat problem using Happy Frog. Thats worth the purchase price right there!

I would use again. I’ve had problems with Miracle grow soil and gnats. So far, this soil has been pretty good for my plants.

Update: now I've made my third purchase. Rich soil, great balanced mix, and NO GNATS. Love it!Original review:This is my second purchase of this soil, and I'm only buying this brand from now on.The first time I bought this I loved it but thought it was a bit spendy, so this spring I used a cheaper potting soil from a well-known brand that rhymes with "spherical throw" to repot some of my houseplants and I ended up with a gnat infestation. So when I bought Fox Farms this time I was a little scared to open it and risk reintroducing gnats to my house, but I worried for nothing. This soil is clean and rich, how indoor potting soil should be. The only living things in it are beneficial bacteria and microbes, thank goodness!For general purpose I mix at a 3:1 ratio with perlite and sometimes add a little gritty cactus soil for plants that need good aeration. My plants love it and thrive.

This stuff is great my plants live it and grow quickly. I used it for my American kush plants and Cinderella 99. Highly recommend

I’ve been using this solid for growing the last few years. I will say Fox Farms soils are fool proof. This seller sent it very quick. Was in a bag but was intact. Every other time I’ve offered it was boxed. Still came intact. Will definitely order again
