hiya yall, I recently planted 10 clones in my backyard (I vegged em in the house for a while till i transplanted them) and I put them into some ocean forest that I simply poured into holes I dug for each plant. Some holes are bigger than others (I got tired at the end of digging lol) so the ones with the biggest holes have 6-8 bags each (66-88 gallons) and the smaller ones range from 2-5 bags (22-55 gallons), and I'm wondering when do you think I should start to add some fertilizer?

and on a side note, seeing that I started out with ocean forest, which is organic, would it be worth it to stick with only organic fertilizers, or should I use their solubles (open sesame, beastie bloomz, and cha ching) as I've had miraculous results with those in my hydro setup in the house

oh and if you guys are curious I can post some pictures of them, I'm LST'ing 5 and SCRoGing the other 5, trying to figure out what they respond best to.
 
i only am doing 4 plants and am a complete noob, but mine thrived in Ocean Forest for a month before I ever fed them. I've read on sites about being feeding them 2 weeks after the transplant, which is also what the Fox Farms bottles recommend. I'm sure someone who knows more will help out more. I'd also love to see pics!
 
once they setup a root system & new growth is noticed , i would start with a half-strength fertilizer for the 1st feeding. As for what kind of fertilizer I'd go organic if it's going to be in the ground.
 
If you have that much FF soil in those holes they should not need any nutes for at least a month. As those roots grow into that soil there should be plenty of food for them to eat. After 2 weeks i would start giving them FF Big Bloom at half strength.
I'm an organic grower using Blue mountain Organics. My local hydro store gave me some FF sample packs of their Cha Ching, Beasty Bloom, and the Open Sesame. I had 2 clones from the same mother and age, so I did a side by side experiment organics vs FF crystals. Thinking that the FF stuff would out perform the organics, I dedicated the bigger nicer plant to the FF stuff. The Blue Mountain Organics out performed the Ff line by far. Bigger, fatter sweeter bud using the organics. BMO made a believer out of me.
Good Luck-

wow alright thanks you guys, I guess I'll keep this grow organic, and could you tell me a bit more about the blue mountain organics? is it available in the bay area, as I've never seen them at my hydro store.
