I’m curious if there was any website that could help me identify what everything is in the Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil, I’m a new grower and although I can read the ingredients, I don’t really know what is what when I’m looking at it. Any Help would be awesome!

Always check with the company website. If you contact them, you can ask them for MSDS sheets, which are required by law. That will give you insight to the materials. But with most of this stuff, google or even google scholar is the best place to discover what these many lettered words actually are.
Most of it is the base soil(peat, composted forest, sandy loam, perlite=aeration) meals = nutrients(crab, shrimp, kelp) fish is nitrogen, guano = very available nutrient(phosphorus or nitrogen), kelp also contains plant hormones. Micronutrients = granite dust, calcium and ph buffer oyster shell flour. Microbes = earthworm castings. Looking up the nutrients in Google by name plus “npk” will give you a better idea what exactly they provide and in what ratios.
Yeah, I think if you just google “what is in Foxfarm Ocean Forest” it will give you a list. Just Coolin just also gave a very good breakdown of what alot of those things do.
Keep in mind that Ocean Forest is considered kinda hot (which means fortified/ aka has alot of food in it. NPK is the abbreviation for the main elements or the “meat and potatos” aka macronutrients that plants need. N-itrogen P-hosphorus K-potassium . I always recommend starting seedlings or clones in something else, like a starter mix ….then transplanting later. even going into Half Ocean forest and Half coco perlite, some of my ‘High Priority’ seedlings got a pretty nasty burn that i can only suspect is from the soil. it’s OK, but i would also check out the mixes over at Build-A-Soil, too.
good luck
Check out the soil and organic sections of the “DGC Guides”. I’ve written a bunch of articles about soil and soil ingredients. You can also check out the product pages at buildasoil.com to learn a lot about different ingredients.
