Is everyone just buying it online? I can't find a single bag in the Chicago area. There are two nurseries carrying Happy Frog $20 per 2.0 cu ft, but I'm fixated on ffof.

I’m in Ca and my local grow shop has it in stock, but I don’t like soil with nutrients in it. I like to control what I feed. Good luck

Thanks. New grower just getting my feet wet.

could try offerup, people will buy pallets and sell the bags for a fairly decent price, even some nurseries will post on there
I actually found this place selling bags for $20 on facebook market, but when I was making the commute they informed me someone came and bought the entire in pallet.... You can imagine how pissed I was.

probably in high demand. haven't been to the grow shop all year but even before covid ppl would come buy entire pallettes of it and clear them out.

also I switched to BuildASoil LOS mix and I will never go back to FFOF. if you haven't used the FF yet save yourself some headaches and go for the better soil. dont take my word for it either. search the forum. I bet you can't find one bad comment about their products. its a little more expensive but I literally did water only w just some top dressing ewc and got my best yields ever.

My local shop has it stacked to the ceiling.

Look for hydro shops in your area. They should have it or something similar
I'm new at this so I just google "hydro stores"? Lol

I'll give it a once over.
Ffof is not the be all end all soil anyways. Many other quality brands if you can't find it. Roots organic is 1 off the top of my head. Black Magic soil was the shit but I don't think they make it anymore.
I really didn't think it was, but I believe it's most common.

Literally the first hydroponic and organic shop popped up had most of the soils mentioned here. Thanks.

Ignore my panic I've been searching big box stores and nurseries for the last 3 hours...... :wall:

Brew n grow Addison and Kedzie has everything ya looking for. I stay away from grow shops, If I need something I hit a nursery or amazon. Any local nursery sells their " house blend" potting mix at half the price of a FFOF or happy frog..just as good.

Thanks. Looks like they have a bottomless source of inventory.

Just use the Happy Frog, it's basically the same stuff, look at the label. All the same ingredients and less expensive, if you are using fertilizer Happy Frog is just fine. As a new grower, Happy Frog is more forgiving, not as hot, so don't worry about it.

I was using Ocean Forest and got some leaf burn on new seedlings, so I went back to Happy Frog and have no issues.
