So its ffof, then organic fertz for flower. 1 more thing. Will I have to adjust ph? If so can I add aact to the soil so it can adjust itself?

You can add AACT if you want, but it won't change soil PH. Don't worry about PH in soil. It isn't a factor unless you are way out of whack.

Got you, thanks man

Thought after reading last bit to maybe instill some helpful knowledge for you the new grower::

Keep in mind always nutrients are acidic, acid drives pH down, don't ever overdo it, and statement above about pH holds true.

Food for thought:
It's starting to look like the rumors I've been hearing about neem seed meal (neem cake) are true -- plants like it but insects don't.
I've got several strains outdoors and all of them had mites. Not a huge deal since growth is off the chart and there are natural predators helping to control the bad bugs.
Anyhoo...
Started adding weak neem tea to my usual nutes about a week ago and my plants are looking mostly bug-free (under magnification, of course).
In fact, they're digging it!

Hopefully it won't change the flavor.

In a bad way.

Sometimes change is good...

Good info guys, definitely leaving this post smarter than before i came here

FFOF ands fish fert is all you need. Get straight fish fert for veg, fish and seaweed blend for flower, or just the blend if you don't want 2 bottles. No need to PH. Then you can also do tea if you want. Can even throw a little fish fert in it too.

I've been liking 50/50 ocean forest and happy frog, with 20% aeration.

Make sure you follow directions on the bottles because the PH of these products is WAY low. If your plants are showing deficiencies and you decide to double the dose, you've gotta adjust PH or you'll be sorry.

Yes, I fucked up & learned the hard way.
As usual.

You could try ecothrive biosys. It's a tea that feeds the micro-herd and from what I've heard, works well.

I noticed it's like 4.5PH right after mixing and was a little worried. When i looked into it, everything I've read makes it seem like it's a weaker PH adjuster in it, as a preservative, and when used at the rates listed is mostly neutralized. I could see it maybe stacking up if you're feeding constantly.

I've never checked my soil PH, I just make sure if I use synthetics there are set to 6.4ish. Probably one of the areas I can tweak a little more out of my grow, I'm just lazy lately.
