    Fighting for the finish line. New member needs help.

    Similar boat here. I've been running FFOF the whole grow with some additional top feeding of FFOF and Dr Earth Life. The leaves aren't looking too hot, but the buds look nice. They aren't quiet as frosty as I'd expect so I was wondering what I could add for the last 4-6 weeks. Check out the...

    FFOF ( Fox Farms Ocean Forest ) made Simple - Autoflower

    I'm on week 5 of flower. I think I went a bit too light on both Dr Earth Life and the FFOF top amend. The Dr Earth Life bag calls for 2 Tbs per gallon and I've top fed twice with about 1-2tbs each, even though my pots were 3 gallons. I got scared early on when I thought I burned my plants, but I...

    Yellow + Dry + Spots - FFOF Grow w/ Dr Earth Ammend

    Well, today things changed a bit. :p My Amnesia got crispy and more yellow, the Critical Kush got a bit more yellow, and the original plant we discussed stayed about the same, but maybe had a few more leaves go yellow. I'm thinking maybe I just chronically underfeed, except maybe the Amenisa, no...

    Yellow + Dry + Spots - FFOF Grow w/ Dr Earth Ammend

    hmm. I had already been feeding the other ones 1tbs for a 3 gallon pot, even tho the bag said 1 tbs /gal. Are you thinking the yellow I'm seeing is deficiency? It would explain why the others have less yellow. I know FFOF is supposed to be able to carry a lot of the grow so I've been trying not...

    Yellow + Dry + Spots - FFOF Grow w/ Dr Earth Ammend

    I amended on this one in on week 2 of flower, 5 of grow. The one in the middle has had the least top amendments out of them all, because I got what I thought was a bit of burn the first time so I skipped the top amend I did with the other two on week 5.

    FFOF ( Fox Farms Ocean Forest ) made Simple - Autoflower

    Following this method, my buds are looking super dense and starting to get right smelly. I'm starting to get a bit of yellowing in the leaves, detailed here https://rollitup.org/t/yellow-dry-spots-ffof-grow-w-dr-earth-ammend.1043205/, but based on the confidence I've gotten in this thread I'm...

    Yellow + Dry + Spots - FFOF Grow w/ Dr Earth Ammend

    Heres some extras. As you can see there is -some- yellowing on the other plants, but not as bad as the one in the middle. pH is typically 6.3 in both watering and runoff.

    Yellow + Dry + Spots - FFOF Grow w/ Dr Earth Ammend

    Hey all! First grow. Not sure what I'm facing with this one. I'm doing 3 gallon pots, tent w/ circulation, watering every other day. In the 7 weeks, I've top amended maybe 2Tbs of dr Earth. You can see the full grow here...

    FFOF ( Fox Farms Ocean Forest ) made Simple - Autoflower

    hah! Thanks for checking it out. This pump pushes water out really fast so its nice for getting the job done but feels sloppy at best. I think I made the mistake of adding too much soil after the initial planting so I don't have very much ground clearance. I could get some but I hate to trim out...

    FFOF ( Fox Farms Ocean Forest ) made Simple - Autoflower

    @Budzbuddha Love the new updates and new formula. You should start a site with your various mixes and have a comprehensive "mix based" approach to a few popular brands. It'd get a lot of attention. :) I'm still finishing out the original formula. FFOF and Dr Earth amendments as needed. Check...

    FFOF ( Fox Farms Ocean Forest ) made Simple - Autoflower

    How much Kelp are you adding to the water? Should I follow the bottle recommendation?

    FFOF ( Fox Farms Ocean Forest ) made Simple - Autoflower

    My grow following this method is coming along great! I'm at week 3 and they're all strill growing strong. I think I'm seeing a bit of a nitrogen deficiency in one, so I plan to add more FFOF and amend with Dr Earth life on next watering. I've been doing up to a cup and half of water every two...

    What happens to intercepted seeds?

    Sorry for the necropost, has anyone gone through this recently?

    I should have mentioned that I'm growing autos. I assume that makes a difference for the cycle?

    Who Needs Help?Ask Here..

    I've been doing 24/7 lights for my seedlings/sprouts. I've measured it out so they're right at 10k lux, which is what people seem to recommend here. At what point should I start doing 18/6? I read that I should start during vegetative phase but I don't think I'm there yet. I'm at ~7 days above...

    How often should i water/feed?

    For what it's worth, I got sprouts today, so I guess something is going right! :D Now that they have broken the surface, I'll start by giving them a half a cup a day and work up from there. Thanks!

    How often should i water/feed?

    I did not pre-germinate. :/ I placed them in dry LightWarrior/FFOF mix (on top) about 1/4" deep and then I soaked the area where the seed was planted and them misted the rest. As I think this through, I guess the big advantage of pre-germinating is you know its heading in the right direction...

    How often should i water/feed?

    I'm in a similar boat. I planted directly into FFOF, but I can't get a good sense of the watering at all. I'm using pH'd water and nothing else. I currently have my tent at 80-95 degrees and humidity is anywhere from 40-60%. I have 3 gallon fabric pots. I originally watered each one with about 2...

    Is it worthwhile to measure moisture in soil?

    Thanks for the tips! I am using fabric pots. I like the idea of weighing them because that at least gives me something reliable to go back on. I'm on like hour 5 of my first grow, so I'm still waiting for the seeds to come up. :p Since I hear overwatering is a common problem at this stage, I'm...
