Do you need soil or is it totally hydroponic?

We used soil. However, we wound up abandoning this piece, due to cheap construction.

You need potting mix or coco coir. Not potting soil. With that being said, I would not recommend this for any heavy plants;Tomatoes or such. Too cheaply made to handle heavy fruits or vegetables. Hope this helps

No floor is required. In fact, if you had a floor (made of plywood, for example), you would likely trap water, so the bed wouldn't drain well. Many of your garden plants will require easily draining soil - they simply don't like "wet feet." You can use newspaper or cardboard as a weed barrier, or black barrier cloth sold at most nurseries (or Walmart). You can also use 'dynamic composting.' That's a process whereby you chop up kitchen veggie scraps and blend them directly into your soil. Folks who use that in my gardening club have had great results. And finally, mulch every year.

i guess what medium your putting em in would be the biggest factor to that i would think if your going to dirt that the more root the better . To hydro just enough to get started ~

They have a line up for soil and hydro. The only difference is the grow big. I've used them both in hydro and soil with great results I recommend the soluble and bush doctor lineup fox farm has using them all together I've got some of the best results yet. One con with using in hydro the nutrients like to settle to the bottom I had to stir at least once a day.

I have done both but prefer adding water to crystals them mixing with soil. Crystals must be at root level not on top of soil.

It has peat as well as earthworm castings. These along with lots of beneficial microbes should provide enough nutrients for most plants you'd be planting in it for at least 6 months.

Soil would depend on what you are planting. I used Potting Soil for flowers. If veggies/herbs then garden soil would be fine. Also filled it almost to top (3 bags) and the flowers should drape over within a few weeks.

I mixed hydroton with regular potting soil for my Peace lily. I don't really notice a difference for the plant though.

Any good soilless mix should be fine. Grow, Micro, Bloom are used together. The ratios change with your grow cycle. Good products.

No. This neut can be used in soil. All of my grows were done in soil and this is one I used religiously.

Yes just be sure to buy the trio for soil not hydroponic and also yes there is a feeding schedule with this set that gives a full feeding schedule follow it for successfull grows these fox farms are also organic and very hard to burn or over feed I love them great success for me and the soil trio package is a lil cheaper as well also these ferts will lower soil ph so pick up a bottle of ph up and some ph strips to adjust

Hi Ben, all my houseplants are hydroponic/hydroculture. However, found this product a little fiddly to set-up for my garden configuration, so went back to using my Claber Oasis automated watering system which still works after 2 years, albeit a little bulky. Hope this helps!

Hey David did you end up planting these hydroponically? I am considering the same. Thanks!

i actually bought this as a test for both soil & hydro however since my crops were ruined my testing did not finish however the one plant i did use this on did give me a bigger amount of buds & i will soon test out my experiment soon but flowering wise id say yes but if you have a bigger grow you would need alot more of this as it can be kind of expensive & there are always cheaper ways of doing it. Best for soil in my opinion but can also be used for Hydro.

Yes to answer your question. My first grow was a soil grow, but since upgraded to a bubbler system. Soil is fine but make sure your pots are big enough cause multi transplants with weaken your plants immune system.
