Fox Farm Nutes

bongsmilie

Right now my plants (all 12) are a week old. Doing an outdoor grow, all in pots, not going to be sticking them in the ground at any point in time. Biggest size pot is going to be a 4 gallon bucket.
Where I live I have 15 hours of day light, so I cannot follow the fox farm schedule online for my plants.
Could somebody recommend a schedule for me to feed my plants?
It is very hot and dry almost everyday, 102 max. I am free all day to give the TLC they need all day, I have a way to test my Ph but I do not have a EC meter. I can go out and give them there nutes anytime that is directed as well as misting/ watering them.

I have messed up, I started a month late into the season.
I am trying to achieve a bushy plant, not a tall one, not really trying grow a plant any taller than 3 and a half feet.

Since my plants are a week old (and this is my FIRST grow) I am trying to have this all planed out, since I already made my first mistake as a grower, and starting late.

FF has a good feeding schedule, ignore the light hours, I use FF on a group of plants I got going now, I go exactly from their schedule of feeding and have had no burn or deficiencies.
You probably want to start your nutes around week 2-3, depending on the soil you used. When you start, start with like 50% of the recommended dose and raise it to 100% as long as the plants dont show any issues. I feed with nutes every other watering.

I am using Happy Frog Soil Condioner and I know that is supposed to feed them for awhile mixed with premium topsoil and peat moss.
When I am transplanting into larger pots should I switch to the Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil?

FFOF is great stuff, I used it from start and didnt have any problems. So by all means use it on your transplant.

Thanks, you've been a big help :) Very much appreciated.
My last question is if you think my month late start will affect me drastically

First off, Nice plants!
How do you measure your nutes per gallon? Your plants are what I am hoping mine to look like.

All depend son your location and strain. If you are in warmer climate area then you shouldnt have any problems, if cooler climate, your outside grow may run into a wrinkle.

The largest size I am going to do is a 4 gal, as I mentioned Im going for a bushy plant about 3.5 feet tall.
What's your opinion on using the your mixture for these smaller plants?
For flowering I am going to switch to tiger bloom and cha ching.
