I'm using the same soil you are using...I am also using FF nutes. I have'nt used any nutes on my plant yet just because its only 20days old.......next watering i will feed Nutes........I keep getting this
2 plants already using FF soil

Can you answer why is this? PH IS CORRECT, HUMIDITY IS GOOD, TEMP IS GREAT. What else can it be?
Soil, thats all I can think of!
I'm thinking of doing two grows next time...one grow in pro mix and other in fox farm!

very nice sounds like a good mix i have got to try that out one day

I've been 'rolling my own' for better than 35 years, but LC's Soiless Mix #1 is close to what I do, for a start. I've never bought a bagged mix of any kind. Why?

Wet

if you can i would get promix, they have it at my local home depot. they have three different kinds, i got the "flower & plant" mix it contains the most perlite. my plants are only 3 weeks old but it seems to be working well. i mixed it with some compost also. alot of people on here say that miracle gro organic varies alot from bag to bag, some have high ph and bugs

I'm using FF Ocean Forest mixed with a little bit of hydroton when i transferred them (ran out of dirt haha). I don't see how people burn plants with Ocean Forest. I start my seeds in Ocean Forest and have been feeding them nutes from day 7 and haven't burned them. (know its was very early but they grew extremely fast the first week and still are) Nutes are fox farm as well. Next grow i'm going hydro, cheaper than buying dirt for multiple 5 gallon buckets.

FFOF with FF nutes

Right now am using a 50/50 mix of FFOF and Light Warrior. Got em all in 2 gallon grow bags starting out. Is working great so far (and has in the past) but not sure what i want to use when I transplant them here in a couple weeks...

Humus and manure and Happy Frog!!

I see many posts where people say FF Ocean burns plants, I've never had a nute burn with it. I have a theory , these people who claim FF Ocean burns their plants, are probably dosing their waterings with liquid nutes TOO EARLY. With the combination of the nutrients in FF Ocean AND adding nutes in with the water when the plant is still young...yeah..you'll probably see nute burn, but FF Ocean doesn't deserve the blame. I give either plain Ph'd water or worm tea to my plants for their first 30 days of life and I use FF Ocean soil exclusively. All I use for a nute feeding is Earth Juice Bloom. I never use a fert. with nitrogen either, as in a store bought bottled source of nitrogen. The worm castings and worm tea I use have just enough nitrogen to carry me through without having a severe deficiency as well as what's in FF Ocean.

I am a light feeder when using "manufactured bottled nutes" , even when I use Earth Juice Bloom I never give more than 4 feedings. My mix is this> 1 gallon container of my home grown worm castings and 1 gallon of perlite mixed into a 1.5 cubic foot bag of FF Ocean soil. Every other watering is fresh worm tea that's been brewed 24 hours. Around the 5th week then I dose with a weak solution of Earth Juice Bloom.

When I started growing back in 2007 I fried so many crops. I used everything from Miracle Grow Organic coil , Scott's , cheap-o no-name "watch-it-turn-to-mud" soils, ect. It took me about 8 months before I actually seen a crop go all the way to harvest and my first "successful" grow was with FF Ocean. It cost $108.00 with shipping adding in to get 3 bags of FF Ocean soil delivered to my front door. At the time I lived in Georgia and the nearest store that had FF Ocean was a 90 mile drive, so after that I found a plant nursery a few miles from where I lived then and started using Metro-Mix 300. Living in Colorado now, every grow store in every direction sells FF Ocean soil.
