Can anyone till me if this is a good soil for a beginner grower
Can anyone till me if this is a good soil for a beginner grower
Ya I'm using FFOF but that's all I'm using is it to late to use the FFHF....because at this point I'm not sure if I'm overwatering or under watering...this my first grow and I'm have all kinds of problems...
It is very easy to overwater ocean forest or happy frog. Thats why we mix in 25% or even more large perlite for drainage.
So if i watered yesterday then I shouldn't wather today right...but someone said it look dry but it also feels heavy when I pick them up
Go by feel not by somebody saying it looks dry. Stick your finger in the drain hole at bottom of the pot and see if it feels wet or dry, and only water if it's drySo if i watered yesterday then I shouldn't wather today right...but someone said it look dry but it also feels heavy when I pick them up
I've used Fox Farms Ocean Forest for 3 grows now (mixed with perlite) and have had no problems. Remember not to use any nutrients for the first 3 weeks or so of your plants life because the FF soil has enough nutes in it to get your girls started. Good Luck!Can anyone till me if this is a good soil for a beginner grower
I would most definitely not. My first time I had the same problem - overwatering .
The biggest suggestion I can give you now is ‘let them droop!’ - the plants leaves will droop down when it is truly dehydrated. Once that happens you know your dry, then water again. Your container should be very light as well, signaling there’s little water in them.
I primarily grew in 3 gal buckets in the past, and had myself down to watering about once a week on average. Early in the lifecycle it may be once every 8-9 days, later in the lifecycle during flowering it may be as frequent as every 4-5 days.
This is all dependent on your relative humidity and your soil mix and container size
I use happy frog seems to be ok for my seedlings and works well with my clones. Not real expensive I get it at H20 for 3 for $30.Can anyone till me if this is a good soil for a beginner grower
