are the liquid fertilizer to feed soil plants and the hydroponic nutrient the same thing (fox farm) and if im using extra nutes in a soil grow should I get a soil with less added nutes to avoid burning the plants ?

if you get a soil that has added nutes be sure to start the seedling in a diffrnt soil then transplant into it and don't feed it for the first month or more and dont over water the more you water a soil that has added nutes the more the nutes are released and will cause problems

So would a weak soil and my own feedings be better than a rich soil ??? because I've heard great thing about FF nutes

soil is one of those things where you cant belive what you herar.. ive never used ff, i make my own mix but the thing with soil is... you gotta know how to use it, just because some ppl say its great does not mean it will be great for you... some swear by ff being the best some say its crap some say maricle grow rocks some say its horibble.


so basically its up to you to find something that works for you... whatever you get i would recomend cutting with perlite and starting plants in peat plugs until roots are showing and transplanting into a small pot of the mix than repoting in like 2 weeks. transplanting getts you a lot of things one it helps with overwatering... the plant does not have roots to suck up all the watter in a big pot and could suffocate.... it also promotes a healthier root structure


dont feed for the first 3 weeks in any soil...

ff isn't really that week and if your gonna transplant it will get plenty from the soil.... less is more when it comes to feeding
