When mixing FFOF, I like to add 2 cups gypsum, 1 cup lime, a little Mn sulfate, and some Cu sulfate. FFOF needs more Ca. Good luck.

So if you have good potting soil do you need nutrients for autoflowers during veg?

You can feed autos flower nutes from the time theyre big enough to feed if you want, so noo need for feed in good soil for veg.

OK. I saw some forums saying that if you got good organic soil such as biobizz or promix etc there is no need for nutes until after first week of flower.

Maybe, you have to watch the plant. If it looks hungry then its time to feed.

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.

Hey I was thinking about doing the same exact thing I have experience with the technaflora nutrients and have used them before. I can get the brief case recipe for success kit for $10 and a bag of FFOF for $11 from this hydro shop around my area in North Hollywood. I'll add the perlite and Dolomite lime as you said. Have you done well with this method? Pretty cost efficient way to grow I may say.

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

Hard to say..generally I watch the plants in veg for signs they are hungry, then if need be, I feed a bit. I veg for about 6-8 weeks though and find the nutrients in FFOF are pretty much used up by week 4.
Recently I have begun mixing FFHF in the mix..Not as hot as the OF so I feed a bit sooner. Mature plants can be flowered when you see alternating nodes (sexually mature plant).

When feeding your plants do you strictly follow the recipe and if so do you use RO water or just ph'd tap water.

If you mean me..I use the feeding instructions on the Bag (megacrop), but go by the seat of my pants to decide when and how much. I stopped using RO last yr and out Tap is pretty hard..the plants actually do better with the tap!
