Thanks for the quick response.You will be fine trust me lol look at my gorilla glue thread from the start I'm harvesting my last girl this week don't over think it the you don't have to rush adding nutes to your girls with ffof soil you will be ok first couple weeks cause it will stay saturated until they really start drinking 10-14 days maybe someone correct me if I'm wrong
I always add 1 cup powdered dolomite lime per 1.5cu' bag of ffof. I've never checked run off, nor have I ever needed to. Always perfect runs time and time again for 4+yrs.
Make sure you have something to kill the fungus gnats. They seem.to be in every fucking bag. Promis is what I use. 3ml/gal for clones, 10ml/gal when up potting to 5 gal pots, 15ml/gal after 4 weeks of veg before flip.
Do NOT use more than 3ml/gal for clones. They will not like it.
Try small plastic trash cans with holes drilled in the bottom, the tapered bottom shape makes them dry out faster than buckets.So I will be starting my first indoor grow shortly and have some questions about my choice of soil. Fox farm ocean forest. I plan on running the ffof with 30-40% perlite added in and that's it. Will this be sufficient enough for my girls? seeming how I'm planting them in 5 gallon buckets as soon as they are germinated. I don't plan on running any nutrients during veg if so it will be the last week. Also I'm only running fox farm basic nutrients (tiger,big and grow big) any replies are greatly appreciated
20% perlite is plenty I've been using this ratio for years mix in 1 cup doolomite to 2- bags of ffof and use mykos when transplant ing. I put clones into pro mix for 2 weeks then start ffof mix into 1 gallon pot and transplant at 50-60 days to 5 gallon 1 week before 12/12 I use mykos every transplantSo I will be starting my first indoor grow shortly and have some questions about my choice of soil.

I have ran ffof for 5 years and have never had fungus nats,not sayin you haven't just sayin I've been lucky I guessI always add 1 cup powdered dolomite lime per 1.5cu' bag of ffof. I've never checked run off, nor have I ever needed to. Always perfect runs time and time again for 4+yrs.

I do exactly the same thing. But I only add like 20% perlite since there's a small amount in ocean forest already. Yea don't feed them until week 3 or 4. I use the whole line by foxfarm but in their feeding schedule for ocean forest, they don't mention to use grow big or tiger bloom. Big bloom u use during every stage. I use grow big no problem but I would say wait for tiger bloom until week 6 or so after all the nutes are out from the soil. For flushing I use clearex instead of sledgehammer.So I will be starting my first indoor grow shortly and have some questions about my choice of soil. Fox farm ocean forest.

You can wing out all but 2 bottles as you don't need them and no need to flush your plants IMO especially if your not pumping tons of nutes no need to spend so much money unless your rich then dump away.View attachment 664794 View attachment 664795 View attachment 664794

I use ffof and technaflora nutes myself.for 4+yrs. LOVE it.
Couple tips for ya
Add 1 cup powdered dolomite lime to 1 bag of ffof soil and 30% perlite. Helps buffer ph, and the perlite cuts the soil a tad more.
Sugardaddy- ditch it immediately
Grab a bottle of botinicare sweet raw. Same thing as SD, BUT it's a lot cheaper, only need 10ml/gal of sweet vs 15ml of SD to get the same potency. So saving two-fold.
Depending on how much nutes tou use, buy bloom, boost, and sweet in 1gal jugs. Thrive alive red, awesome, and magical in the medium sized bottles.
I always use full strength, 100% feedings. Never any issues even when I run 10 different strains. ALL my girls love it.
