 Product Tested  2

Well my new kick is testing products that are cheaper on the budget to see how they will do. I currently have Nirvana's AK-48 growing with some of my strains and have just finished testing this product.
kellog Soils
The videos are from their web page but are a fair representation of the product.
KELLOGG PATIO PLUS® All Natural Outdoor Potting Soil
My results were as good as using FFOF and the stuff is 5 bucks a bag. Available at Lowes and Home Depot
KELLOGG PREMIUM POTTING SOIL® For Indoor & Outdoor Container Planting
Pretty much the same thing as the Patio Plus but without the Bat Guano and natural fertilizers in it. This is also 5 bucks a bag and at Home Depot and Lowes.

Will ck it out.
Thanks Magash, always helpful.

I've been happy with my FFOF like so many others here in the forums use, but that's definately some significant $avings.
Your advice hasn't steered me off a cliff yet so I may have to get around to trying this soil in the coming months.
Thanks for sharing.

I'm sure it's a good soil but I don't think side by side comparisons are fair for soil. There's so many similarities and differences that make or break a good soil.
-Microbial activity
-Composted vs. Non composted ingredients
-Water retention
-Air porosity
-Available nutrients
-pH buffering capacity
-Humic content
-etc
Are you feeding each watering or just feeding water?

I'm all for the savings but if I met a soil grower who went through the trouble of testing various brands of soil vs. building his own and was boastful of his discoveries I wouldn't be able to help myself but tell him the errors of his ways. By no means do I have anything against anything Magash posted and appreciate the fact he tested a far cheaper brand vs the indoor standard. I do recall Arjan from the GH seed company claiming he tests 10 different soils with each strain he grows which I found more than humorous.

I was using the fox farm chart for soil to feed em. I didn't want to use some home made mix cause that isn't what most people have access to.
Now what your mentioning changes from bag to bag let alone company to company so it should be more then fair. Using ten bags of each and treating like the average person would then posting which has the better results is fair enough for the needs of most people.
So before you give a answer to a question nobody asked yes I agree but for the average grower this is just fine.  (Just busting your balls a little )

What question are you referring to that nobody asked?
FWIW, most soil heads agree that FoxFarm and most other bagged soils such as Roots Organic and virtually every other commercial soil brand esp those that provide their own nutrients have very low microbial activity due to using worm castings sourced from / fed with paper waste which leaves you with worm castings with very high carbon (good for microbial life) but very little microbial activity/humic content. This is to coax the user into using their bottled nutrients that will introduce the microbial life and fill in the missing pieces.
So basically by using expensive nutrients you're going to fill the gaps of many commercial potting soils. Which is great if that's your goal.
Another problem I commonly hear with FFOF is that it's not pHed or doesn't have a good pH buffering capacity it won't work well if your nutrients aren't either pHing the substrate or if you're not using dolomite lime. This is quite possibly the most beneficial aspect of soil growing saving time not having to pH your nutrient solution, having the ability to feed pH 5 nutrients and have them buffered to an acceptable range.

and this is exactly why I don't post unless I've used it myself. I've used Fox Farm products many many times and have never had these problems.

Magash, did u modify this soil at all prior to using? Also, based on your sweet 16 pics, may I assume you used this soil with a SOG grow? The reason I ask is because I SOG it and dont feed till a month into flower. Thanks

No I use it right out of the bag. No changes at all. When I test products I like to do it without making any changes to them that other people may not be able to do.

thanks for the product test Magash, I'm going to give that stuff a try. I think you saw my thread about how ridiculously expensive I think the grow supply companies make the hobby.
screw paying $20-$25 for a bag of FF.

Well no luck on finding it. checked the local Lowes and all the nurseries. It doesnt help that is 40 degrees outside. Thanks for the product and ill definitely keep my eyes open for it.
Do you have any idea if this is a national brand or could it only be available is certain areas?
What part of the country did you buy it?

I've been having trouble finding it.
Lowes does not have it on there wed site.
MG and Scott's is all I find so far.
Will keep looking. Maybe a seasonal thing here.

Should be soon that the nurseries around here start selling more. Starting plants early is not just a marijuana thing. Though I'm sure most of you know that.
Hopefully I can find enough supplies to make a nice seedling mix to hold me over til I can find this mix.
I was getting some weird looks today, asking for Kellogs brand soil.

Looks like its unavailable in my area or at any store within 70 miles.
Will just have to stop in and see the manager. Maybe see if it can be ordered.
rather spend $200 on that than FF/OF. That would be alot of bags.
Thanks for the help Magash.

None available within 40 miles of me. Though I have a trip planed to a much much bigger city. I'm sure I can find something there when we go.
Thanks for the link
Edit: Wow, none in all of my state actually. Looks like I'll be holding out.
Kapt if you find something worth using let me know. I'll do the same.

Getting info from local Lowes was a pain.
Have to buy a truck load to get it shipped in, $6000 worth is a little more than I need.
Closest Lowes to pick up from is New Mexico.
I tryied.

I have herd nothing but good things so far about Kellogs patio plus.
I was going to get some FFOF but the nearest hyrdo shop is selling them for 18 dollars a piece. 5 dollars seems much more appealing.

From what I hear some people are saying that this is equivalent to FFOF.
ingredients:
composted forest products, canadian peat moss, composted chicken manure, rice hulls, horticultural sand, perlite, bat guano, kelp meal & worm castings
Planted my seedlings in the ground today.
Hope this soil works well.

it sure would save me some money if its just like FFOF. I just told my friend about this Kellogs and he is being skeptical about it.
Anyone use this stuff in the last 2 years?

This shit isnt GMO packed is it? Cant remember if Kellogs supports GMO, I for one do not.
Edit - OF course... they say they dont use GMO, but they also say dont worry about it even if they do... I doubt the soil has it, but I hate to support it.
Still worth the money I suppose, I hate paying $18 a bag for FFOF

Yeah, i'd switch over to hydro is soil prices were that high around here. Especially since I go through 120 gallons of soil each grow.

so im just wondering what would be a good inexpensive soil to go with to replace fox farm with?
I would try Kelloggs if I were you.

I assume you are in the miswest or east coast.
For some reason I herd some people are having a hard time finding it in those areas.
It is readily available on the west coast as it is produced in Ontario, CA.

I decided to try Patio Plus for Crop #3.
I wanted to confirm that it is around as hot as FFOF, and that feeding
can be added after a similar water-waiting period.
The answer seems to be "yes".

Finally broke open my bag of Patio Plus and transplanted one of my ladies that had been in FFOF. I hope this stuff works as good as this thread says, mine looks like its about 90% mulch.

I can testify for this product in an outdoor greenhouse situation. It's working very well, I mixed about 25% perlite regular size into it and it drains extremely well. I'm using 6, 20 gallon smart pots. I'm on a 3 day feed cycle. Day 1 - 1/2 strength Fox Farm Grow Big + Epsom Salts + Superthrive. Day 2 - Ph 6.5 Balanced water + Superthrive. Day 3 - Nothing.

Just picked up a 12l bag of patio plus today at home depot for $9. That's about $40 cheaper than I can get FFoF out here. Transplanted some plants into 5 gal today and the soil seems pretty good. Excellent aeration and has about the same texture as FFoF but seems to have less sticks in it. It does smell stronger than FFoF so if that is a problem I wouldn't use it indoors.
Good find Mag
