Planning on starting some autoflowers here soon. Was wondering if it would be all right to put seeds into FFOF right after germination or if there is a chance burn or stunting would occur. Anyone with experience doing this it would be much appreciated if you answered.

i start my seeds in it and don't have trouble. I've heard people complain about burn from it though so maybe it's strain dependant.

I transplanted 4 two week old seedlings (white widow, himalaya gold, afgan kush and cheese) into straight FFOF and they got a little burned. The Himalaya had it the worst but all in all it wasn't to bad and they recovered in two weeks. I think I would start them in something else. I've used scotts or MG seed starting soil and have never had a problem with it. It's very mild.

did u water the soil very well before putting them in the fertd' soil..

and did u use nutes too after u put em in?... dont

Ive had great results with Fox Farms Happy Frog. After Germinating from paper towel I go straight into Happy Frog in a small container then transplant later into your soil of choice. I go with 50% FF Ocean Forest-20% FF Happy Frog - 15% Really Rich Natural Soil from my garden - 10% M.G. Potting Mix - 5% Sand and Perlite, that allways works great 4 me outdoors anyway.

I went from jiffy pots to ff as soon as i seen the seedling break the dirt. I had no burn I did drench the soil down for about 2 days prior to moving them But they turned out fine.

thanks for your responses i think im going to put some directly into the FFOF and others in peat pots for a few days then transplant to see if there is any difference

ive done it no problems if your worried you could run some water through the soil to flush it a bit though i dont think thats needed. just dont use a soil with blood meal it burns sprouts ff is mostly bat guano and earthworm castings anyways

cool. any suggestions on how much perlite i should mix in?

I would cut it with 20% pearlite, so it drains better, oxygenates better , and doesn't burn so easily. Just don't use MG pearlite because it contains MG fertiliser.
