Auto Flowers

Ok i just started a new grow!! Its my first time with auto flowers. I soaked seeds over night and had tiny tap roots. I planted them in 4 gallon pots of fox farm ocean forest with extra perlite in the middle and bottom and root enhancer. Is ocean forest too hot?

You should of mixed like 80 coco to 20 percent ff and make like a solo cup size hole in the pot put a lil of your mix, your seed, them cover it. Ff probably 2 hot

Never used FF but grow autos. Hope they get past the seedling stage. If they do you should be good!

short answer NO and if you want strat adding nutrients after week 3 of veg until the use a good root stimulatior

I used a good root ehnacer

I didnt think about soil being too hot until i already popped seeds in. I usually just use ffof for my photos and dont need to feed until pretty much flowering

I wouldn't assume anything. I've planted seeds directly into FFOF. It might be a little hot at first but I've never had a seedling die because of it and after a couple weeks they've always been just fine.

Good luck

You could always just use a starter mix in a solo for a bit - sandbox them in that to create a healthy transplant then move to full FF container.

Direct seed to pot :
Some strains may get some nute burn from direct planting but it usually will pass as plant becomes accustomed.

I've started 6 autos in FF ocean soil in 3 gallon pots and haven't burned a one. I'm not saying it doesn't happen but I think the danger is way over blown

Pretty sure cannabis isn’t the only plant that may find mix a little hot.

Had cherry tomatoes turn into habaneros
