Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil and Ph?

Thought I'd throw up some pics of the ladies a couple days into flowering in Fox Farm Ocean Forest with perlite and lime added. So far so good...

Thanks homie, I have to say that im quiet impressed with the color and lushness of em. Maybe I can finally get the color outta them again.. ( at end of flowering )

just remember (and dont be to lazy) to flush her hard at week 2 flower, and again at week 4...if i miss my 2nd week flush, by the end of week 3 there will be leaf discoloration...apparently, in soil, most of the time if your plant is showing physical problems, the problem has been around for a week or even longer, i dont remember which cannabible that was in, but its seems to be true, flushing is just totally necessary

ya I'm keeping a detailed log of these 2 whores.. food water food water then prolly flush food water ya ya you know lol.. I guess with my soil i used before promix i did get lazy cause I really didn't have to fuck with shit that much cause it was always good. But not this time, taking pics every day and writing down EVERYTHING I do to them. Daily temps, hum, co2 content and all that happy horse shiieet.. I'm also hopin that these 5 gallon containers work out well so I can go from around 110 per harvest to around 30 and get the same yield

Looking so so I've gave them a total of 3 cups of lime each in a 5 gallon and they still low ph! The soil is like cement! lol

Those look pretty good, what's your quam with them? what week are you in? what's the soil your using and what are you feeding them?

Its ffof that I've had low ph or burn issuses or whatever it was? today they got just water 3 days ago gave a cocktail of 2 tsp tiger blood lol 1 tbs big bloom 1 tsp grow big 1/2 tsp beastie bloomz! Next feeding same thing but I think they can handle 2 tsps of grow big Today is 3rd week flowering their real perty! It digilux bulbs on super lumen. I use my bulbs 2 times around on super lumen.

After you add those nutes to the water, adjust the PH before you water the plants. That stuff really acidifies the water. I had that problem last year and my leaves began showing problems. My tap water was 6.5, but adding and nutes lowered it down to like 3, so I added PH up to balance and all was well after that

I had to add alot of lime about 3 cups total last 2 times a cup at a time I guess you can't put to much in the soil its water clogged its like cement. They look great today the newer growth looks good, old leaves have issues! If they live for 5 more weeks, I pulled rabbit out of my hat

are you adding calmag? and are those bottom leaves?

yes bottom leaves no calmag. I think its clear up this was from before I add 3 cups of lime to each 5 gallon pot.

And please explain in DETAIL why Fox Farm DIDN'T work for you?

You know exactly what he's going to say: "it burned my plants man, the second I put them in the soil they just exploded".

lol I love it, and your completely right 99.9999% of the time its user error. Shit I haven't had one problem so far, not even a discolored leaf

Like a week and a half into flowering. What I didn't notice is that instead of giving them a 48 dark period to induce flowering and just going into 12/12 is that they don't seem to be showing flowers as quickly. Got alot less yellowing tho

ocean forest has a lot of fertilizer and will burn rooted clones that are transplanted into them. Get a soilless or seedling mix to transplant clones into 3 or 4inch pots. Then once those are rootbound transplant into final pot with ocean forest. Do not feed them for atleast two weeks after you transplant. The soil has plenty of food in it. Just make sure your water is ph don't trip on the soil bra. If you feed in those first two weeks you will burn your plants. You will notice when u transplant the leaves might curl a little from all the food in the ffoc
