Question on FoxFARM oceanforest

I am wondering if I will need to add lime or anything to the soil. I just transplanted two days ago and I used 6.2 ph water.

not really sure about the lime but here is what i do mix w/ my soil.water for about amonth.then i give them nutz.hope that helps

No you don't need to add lime. I would however mix in about 30% perlite for good drainage and for healthy roots.

Yep I just added perlite.No lime needed.Hell ya dont HAVE to add perlite but it does make it drain better

I transplanted them 4 days ago in to foxfarm oceanforest. I have 10 of them. I have PHed my water. 4 of my plants at the top where the new growth. they new leaves are growing yellow and green? What could this be?? I do not know how they can defienct already.

Have you fed them any nutes yet?

no..I just put them in the soil 4 days ago..I have read they will not need nutes for 3-4 weeks with this soil.

Could it be the roots have not started taking nutirents from the soil yet?

Fox farm does not have nutes try feeding your plants 1/2 nutes and then wait a couple days.

start of an Mg deficiency. During veg, i feed every other week with epsom salts (1/2 tsp per gallon) and once early flowering. This is enough to last the plant it's entire life

I actually just foliar fed them last night with this stuff called Revive from Advanced Nutrients. Here is what the info on it says:

Revive -
Revive is the ultimate tool to keep in your plant repair kit for treating the underlying causes of "yellow plant syndrome". When environmental stress (such as excessive humidity of over-watering) brings on chlorosis (yellowing between leaf veins) or a loss of the rich green color in your leaves, a foliar application of Revive will immediately breath new chlorophyll into your plants. Revive contains one macronutrient and four of the most important micronutrients. It can be used in your reservoir to correct deficiencies, and is found helpful when applied to cuttings.

It says it has Mg in it too. What do you guys think?

How could I have Mg def. when I just transplanted into FOxfarm oceanforest? Should I still do the 1/2 tablespoon per gallon and it will not burn my plants?

Please help a grower/smoke blower out!!!!!

I grow in this soil and have experienced Mg unless i feed with epsom salts. Water them regularly, and in a week feed with epsom salts like I described.

......yeah, I used FFOF for years as well. I got around the early yellowing by keeping them on the grow big 1+ wks into flower.....then I figured out it's quickly deplenished of Mg.....as you know. After a lot of research I ended up feeding cal-mg every other watering for 1st 2 wks of 12/12 and even sometimes longer. It has N in it which you really need to be off of after a few weeks of 12/12.....
For some reason again, even when I replanted up before the switch, this problem still persisted.....
I was a HUGE fan of all of FF products when I was using soil..... I still think they're one of the best....

Good Luck to you and your grow.

wow i think some of you gave some really bad advice.... bro your plants look fine you should have no problem with ff ocean forest the new growth always seems to have a lighter color then gets darker ...there are no deficiencies at all lol it looks healthy to me

bad advice to feed with epsom salts? heh.

That looks normal to you???????????? Granted, I didn't even look at the pic the first time----but yeah........that IS N def and probobly sulfer as well.....cal/Mg I experienced was appearing from the outside edge of the leaf, and the older ones as well+ it was always after the switch. This looks more like PH, N, and/or S............

pimpnitjc, did you just put them in the ff soil? They were in something different before? If so, yeah, give them a few days to get the roots into there.....they do look healthy, other than the bold yellowing your looking at------THAT IS NOT NORMAL LIKE THAT! But they will do great, I am sure. Are you trying to up your PH?

I just stopped in here to give bad advice, just as I always do when I see something that I have experience with, like FFOF in this case.....And, again, it is awesome soil--the best, imo

fox farm ocean forest is hot with nutes. Organic nutes. I am cutting mine with light warrior and perlite and 1 cup of dolomite lime per cubic foot.

The nutes in fox farm are organic so I guess peeps dont know they are their.

I will read some more, just thought to add this. You see, i think your plants are too old to be damaged by the nites in ffof. Do you add cal mag to your water. Also dolomite lime will give some minerls. you ahould always add some i think. trying to help.


you should go to the organic section, it is their specialty.

I am really confused now..I thought nitrogen def started in the older leaves and Mg def showed in the young leaves?

I have not did the cal-mag. I was either going to do that or the epson salt. I have the Technaflora Cal-MG nutes. I wonder how much I should Give them? 1/2 strength? I don't want to burn them and mess up
