Light Warrior Soil questions

Okay, the only size I've seen of the Light Warrior potting soil is 1 cubic foot. Which is way more then I am going to need. Does anyone know if it even comes in other sizes?

No but its only like 16$ and its some good shit.

My picture/avatar is a 1800w grow with 55 plants and they were give a 50/50 light warrior/ocean forest, bud came out amazing and was vegged with no nutes and first 2 weeks of flower had no nutes, plants were the same healthy green the entire grow up until the last few days.

If you think that a 1:1 ratio is really better could you explain to me why you believe so?

I did a 1:1 ratio for the fact im cheap and at the time of purchase light warrior was cheaper so i purchased more of it. Also light warrior is packed full of mycorrizehae/bacteria that most of our feeding schedule was based around compost teas for these bacteria.

Also watch out with these soils as they can fry a small plant/seedling if mixed strong. i recommend doing a mini flush of the soil if you plan on planting seedlings in it and then making a compost tea with the light warrior to help restore/liven up your bacteria.

I would be planting seedlings in a small plastic thingy. The ones that are like a 6 pack lol. Once they have good roots, I'd move them to this. Should that be a problem? And what are compost teas?

I just planted four seeds into light warrior, once they sprout and get a little bigger I was planning to transplant the plants into ocean forest. I currently have a bag of each in my garage. Instead of planting seeds in a cup filled with light warrior, do you think I should of mixed the light warrior and ocean forest? Maybe something I should do for my next grow?

itll be fine, when you transplant to a bigger pot you can mix light warrior and fox farm ocean forest.

Thanks for the insight! Just mix it up 50/50? Half the cup forest and half light warrior?

Can I get some more feedback on the 2:1 ratio of Ocean Forest/Light Warrior?

2:1 is a good ratio as youll be getting the light warrior mycorrizehae and the FFOF is packed full of nutes, its all dependant on wether or not light warrior is cheaper for you than FFOFs.

The price won't bother me, so I'll go with the 2:1 ratio. Thanks for everyone's help on this!

How long should I wait before I start adding nutes to the water? I'll be using the FF liquid trio b-t-dubs.

Also, should I use the Organic LW or Seed Starter. I'll be germing using the paper towel method.

The specific ones I'd use are these just in case anyone was wanting to know:

It doesn't say how large the light warrior is though. >.> I need a cubic foot of that stuff. Can anyone help me with this?
