Fox farms and grow dots.

[zack991]

I am planning on starting to germinate my auto seeds this weekend and I had a question with proper nutrition. I will be using fox farm ocean pre bagged soil and I was considering using grow dots instead of a tea solution. I dont want to burn my plants. I understand fox farms can usually support a plant for about 30 days on its own, or so I am told.

Should i go by the calculator on their site calling for 75 grams per plant that will be in 5 gallon pots or do i need to do something like 45 grams. This is my first grow and I dont want to screw up too bad from the start. Thanks.

I have done exactly what you are doing with two plants. I used half the dose of grow dots recommended and even with them in the ocean forest, it didn't burn them at all,

I don't remember exactly the dosage I used for mine. It was about a year ago and my memory doesn't go that far lol. I just remember cutting it in half. Then I mixed it in the fox farm ocean forest and put it in a pot and transplanted my two girl scout cookies extreme autos from my solo cups that also had a pure ocean forest in them. Yes, you can use ocean forest for seedlings. I have done it a lot. I do mix happy frog and ocean forest now though for the added benefits happy frog gives your roots.

I used their recharge tea on it as well. i forgot about that part. i did that once-a-month through the grow. well i did it after the first month was over didn't bother the first month. they never had one spot of any deficiency or over feeding of any kind through the grow. honestly I'm pretty impressed with grow dots. i will definitely use them again sometime.

I had to look them up after reading this thread this morning. I’m too much in my head for those to be a good fit for me lol! I would drive myself more crazy wondering what’s happening or what isn’t : ) and I like to mess with shit hahaha!

Well sounds like it should work for my first grow. They will be inside in hidden closet with a simple setup for a few weeks till it warms enough to put them outside. I plan on getting a proper indoor setup this fall. Money is tight as always

It’ll definitely make you think real hard about purchases : ) not going to lie, I have sent a few things back after the fact, reading through the farm I realized I just didnt need those things : )
