Fox farm ocean forest soil. Been giving straight ph water. Run off is 6.3. Humidity is steady at 65%. Temp I keep at 76. I don’t know what ppm is. And I’m using co2 at 750 right now since I’m only using two 300w mars leds lightsBeen thinking about it but I am not sure. Sometimes when I start seeds in soil the soil comes out of the bag a little hot. I use Happy Frog and Nectar and they do start out a little hot.
What are your environmental conditions, soil type, ph, ppm, which nutes are you using? Anyone trying to answer is going to definitely need more data.....

I am now aware of that but I have to now. I didn’t know that prior to putting in solo cups.Soil is too hot!! N tox and tip burn is the result..
Transplanting autos is a bad idea since they have no time to recover from stress..
Yep..I have had some seedlings survive, and some fall over dead..HF is lighter and easier on seedlings imo..simple Jiffy soil is pricey but bland soil.Definitely odd.. I've used FF Ocean Forest many times and sometimes (usually) get a bit of burn and twisting on the first 2 set of leaves but never on new growth (a bit hot for seedlings). Have you grown this strain before? Do you have any other seeds of this strain growing? How close is your light?
This is the only strain of this one I have going at the time. I do have 3 other seeds of the same but wanted to save those for the next grow.lights right now are about 22-24” inches away. I haven’t grown this strain before. I took another picture this morning of it.Definitely odd..

I thought about buying it. This is my first indoor grow and it’s definitely been a learning curve. With happy frog does it have enough fertilizer in it to last till flowering? I read where people that use FFOF don’t use any nutrients until flower because it’s so hot of a soil? Just trying to get your option for the next grow. I have 20 none autos I need to transplant Friday but I also read it’s best to transplant to the same medium. I appreciate your reply’s and help.Sorry..HF= Fox Farm Happy Frog..FFHF same thing..:)
No problem..There always pros and cons..I thought about buying it. This is my first indoor grow and it’s definitely been a learning curve.

Awesome. I try and so my own research but sometimes you just can’t find the right answer. Thank you for the knowledge.No problem..There always pros and cons..
I use 40-40-20..40% HF- 40% OF and 20% coarse Perlite for aeration (these soils get thick as shit.)
Yes, the HF is less hot and nutes will be needed in maybe 1-3 weeks until you need to use your own..However, HF contains Mycos (beneficial Bacteria) for healthy roots (symbiotic relationship between roots and the miroherd that helps roots assimilate nutrients better..
I have recently begun recycling my soils and adding my own nutes (I use Canna Terra myself)..This aids in moving an already established microherd colony to the new pots.:)
I transplant from one medium to another with no problem, but I agree..best to at least similar soils..
You're quite welcome..The only way we all learn is by asking and experimenting for ourselves..The more we know, the more we grow!Awesome. I try and so my own research but sometimes you just can’t find the right answer. Thank you for the knowledge.
