i'd really try the #4 soil instead of FFOF. the FFOF has a lot of wood chips in it. and the #4 is just the best around for the line anyways. not to mention you can reamend the soil pretty easily.

yes, every feed and tea day. but always keep in mind to Ph first and then add your microbes. if not you can kill the microbe field as they dont like Ph swings

If you follow the "rules" it is superior no doubt!! I've had great results, I have however gotten lax on the pH, and correct products, and it's disastrous...if you grow autos, you know they are really sensitive to nutes, and can become stunted. Back to being a good boy grower, things back on track. Lol
there is no "rules" per say , its more of a guide line ... ill try to follow the FFT FFF feeding but the plants will tell you what they want .. slurries plays a big role and between that and how the plant look will tell me what to do on next feeding ....autos are a bitch to deal with , bitch with me anyway ...lmao

never ran autos. always reg and fem beans.

Autos are like 2 year olds...might be great, might be terrible...I've had some good luck, some bad, but they are certainly quicker, but for the power, it's better to just go photos, and the yields are less weight compared to photos also. I liked having more variety of strains growing at once, my room is small, can get 4 autos, two photos. So bigger yield, less variety seems better use of power.

A lot of really good info in this thread. I've used their product line for all of my grows since I was given a free sample and just stuck with what worked. I'm accumilating more and more of their bottles, taking it slow because the price adds up quickly.
I've had amazing results with the Bloom Khaos foliar spray, I've been spraying my plants since they were seedlings and I recently switched to flowering and the node locations are all over.
Haven't tried their soils yet since I create my own medium using Coco, perlite, and peat moss. Because of the Coco, I also feed 1-2 tsp of CalMag from General Organics. I also feed Demeters Destiny but it just doesn't have enough calcium in it in my opinion.

Be careful using non-organics. Those nitrates really hurt things. I promise you the DD, has everything you release the mag in the coco. And the BK use a 6:1 ratio to HH.

Oops, had the companies mixed up. General Organics, not General Hydroponics. The dude at the grow store advised me not to mix organic and synthetic nutrients.

Their number 4 is fantastic, pH is set right to get started, not hot either like lots of premix like ocean forest, etc.

New to the forum but of the few Nectar nute discussion sites, this seems to be the most current and best info to breeze over and learn from. The bible is super helpful if your new to the line, once you get a feel for the line and how your plants respond to it, the "Viewer questions" with Scott on YouTube is were you can really learn how to master the line. And one more thing, I won't use the line without Fullon by Grow switch. Fullon is the best snake oil on the market.

I use the Full-on full cycle, foliar & drench, even in my flush/reset/ripen depending on slurry #'s. Doubling up the Demeters and run 4 ml of full-on on feed days will whipe out any MAG hungry phenos. Medusa has some MAG but not enough for some phenos. Epsom can be risky, less is more.....and 9 out 10 its not a deficiency or toxicity it's CALCIUM uptake issues!! If your using the basic 4, then you have everything a plant needs for optimal health, everything in those bottles are designed to attach to the calcium molecule (HH) in a 6.3-6.8 Ph range so if your slurry is out of reccommended ranges the calcium Is not moving into the plant and not bringing up all the other goodies required for plant health. Watch plants, take notes, SLURRIES.....repeat......in no time you will start speaking the language of the NECTARFAM!

Any type of frass is awesome!! Past week 3 flower it's not needed as I understand it, at least for the chitin response. Past week 3 it would just be for the biology and NPK. Like I said, as I understand it, the plant starts releasing different exudates to attract different forms of biology in order to get the nutrients and minerals it wants to move into the next stage of flowering. Doesn't mean you can't use it past week 3, its still kickass for feeding soil, but the plant has moved on from its need for the chitin and in my mind the plant knows better than me so I don't want to attract chitin solubizing bacteria when the plant doesn't have the need for them and more than likely it is moving towards a need for phosphorus solubizers to have that energy to bulk up. So I drop the chitin and pump phosphorus & amino acids alongside products like mammoth or the like.
