FFOF ( Fox Farms Ocean Forest ) made Simple - Autoflower

Budzbuddha said:

Also … since I haven’t updated this thread in awhile.….. use the Recipe 420 mix in solo starts - period.

I place a seed in a moist Rooter - bury it slightly and she is done .

No light feeds or other outside nutes.

Why use a rooter too?

Looks like good stuff. That's cool they use pumice instead of perlite. I hope you reuse that stuff. How much more expensive it if than FFOF? I have all that stuff here and it's already in my soil, except the coco wasn't added since I'm trying not to mix them, and I don't have dolomite separate but it's in a box of shit that I started trying. I've heard mixed things about coco with peat, but your plants look really good.

I pay $14.99 per bag ( nursery )

Cuz I ordered some months back and wanted to get rid of them …. I mostly use in the hempy buckets as starters tho.

I have the Root Riots and they don't break down like they say. I've heard the Rapid Rooters decompose more, but have never used them.

The plants I’m running are in Recipe 420 will be updated here ( even tho it states FF on thread ) and Quantum thread.

But open to those running ol FF still.

I use the Rapids - threw rock cubes in trash.

I have some in some soil I keep in a tote, mostly for worms(I haven't gotten a worm bin yet), they don't break down real well.

Which ones?

I do a presoak in Clonex ( liquid ) mild solution for all seeds in the rapids. Even cuttings on occasion.

Rapid rooters

So those don't break down well either. I'm not surprised. My soil breaks down stalks and sticks, but those little things just live on, lol. I don't use them anymore since I realized it.

I still use them for clones. I never really grow from seed anymore. I'm thinking about diy'ing a cloner.

Ya, or just clone in soil.

I haven't tried that yet. I might give it a try though.

Howdy!

So I started a photo Skittlez and a cutting of Piff #3 clone in 3 inch seedling pots of FFOF, left for 4 weeks feeding only tap water or RO water, whichever was available. Both started showing deficiencies going into week 4 (maybe should've pulled them sooner)... - when transplanting I noted that both had good root systems and were generally in good health below the soil line.

I transplanted them into 3 gallon pots of the following mixed per gallon:
- 6 16oz red solo cups FFOF, 1 cup EWC, 1 cup perlite, 2 tbs Kellogg's Organic Plus Dry Ferts

Coming out of V6 and into flower next week, the plants are loving it~
I'm hoping this will carry me thru flower with tap water only and occasional top dress of FFOF as needed.

If it runs thru the longer grow period for these photos, it would increase my confidence for use when I start my perpetual auto grow.

Question: Do I need to use Myko or recharge if the Dry Fertilizer mix has beneficials in it?

Happy plants!

‘Recommend EWC with FFOF - I run about 10% of container volume. You can scratch into surface soil with dry fert then water in.

Mykos is always good to add at transplant.

Or just mix the dry nutes into the EWC first, then add to pot.

That is what i use for outdoors. Start with F F O V. Then the rest of the stuff for holes i have to add a few things won't see them for a while..Once out

So top dress 10% (~ 2 red 16 oz solo cups in my case) with EWC and a baker's pinch of dry ferts instead of top dress w/ FFOF?

Note: this IS the easiest way to grow tbh, and this is coming from soil w/ nutes, to Hempy KISS and now this. Genius! Can't wait to start popping my autos! (/eyeballs calendar)
