when to add nutes? fox farm ocean forest

[johnq]

Im a newb to soil, due to heat ruining my hydro roots started some ocean forest grows. I know that it comes loaded with nutes, i was wondering how to tell when its time to start supplementing the soil and whether or not gh florabloom works well with this soil. I will be using all three foxfarm additives (open sesame, beasty bloomz, and cha-ching) in conjunction with any nutes.

I havent used that soil before...but if the seedlings survive that notoriously 'hot' soil, i'd say wait for the first signs of yellowing before starting with the grow big and big bloom and stuff. but, i've not used the fox farm nutes before, so perhaps someone else should come answer.

I am using that soil and did a ppm check to see what its running and it came out to 900 ppm, so I would say after 2 weeks, thats when i started adding my nutes, but I havent used those nutes your using so its your decision.

two weeks seems to be what i hear, any signs of needing nutes?

i am using fox farms ocean forest soil and grow big and tiger bloom for my plant.

fox soil has a perfect blend of everything when you use your nutes when it tells you to dilate it for 1 gallon just use 1/2 teaspoon until you start flowering... trust me my friends who have been using fox farm products along time strongly sudgest only 1/2 teasopoon ration to 1 gal of water mix.

i guarentee if you got the right setup fox farms will give you an amazing yeild.
hey it works for me....

drag, do u feed every watering? onces again, as mentioned, i dont have the foxfarm nutes, only the additives. (lent out the nutes, kinda like lending a cigeratte, its hard to get back).

i let mine go in the ocean forest for 4 weeks (veg), then i just follow the fox farm nute's chart (at 50% strength). so i say 4 weeks depending on strain and how often you have to water. thats me. oceanforest really does murder seedlings sometimes tho...

yes i do feed almost every watering and i will continue to feed with grow big at my ratio of 1/2 tsp to 1 gal mix until im done veging. at least 2-3 times a week i try and balence out the nutes with plain water. but as soon as i start to flower i will swith to Tiger Bloom (Fox farm Prod.) and use that until 2 weeks before harvest where i will flush with pure water. also i will break the cycle with water at least 2-3 times a week

the first pic is the 3rd or 4th day i got her established and about the same time i started the nutes regimine now the second pic was taken yesterday afternoon and as you can see, grow big does what it's supose to do... grow big i mean big... but seriously if you follow the dilution to almost any nutes you should have to try really really hard to cause damage to your plants because of nute burn.

I start around the 3rd week

going back to the main point the 2nd week is the best time.
