That does help, thanks. I keep hearing that FF Ocean Forest will get you through veg. That sure didn't happen for me.Gave up on ocean forest soil years ago, mainly because of the knats that come with the soil. I used it for years though.
Typically 2-3 weeks of nutrients is all you will get out of it before having to add a nutrient line to your feeding schedule.
Any store bought soil you by typically will only last 2-3 weeks if you do not amend it.
Hope that helps:)
Happy frog is my go to for several years now it does the job.That does help, thanks. I keep hearing that FF Ocean Forest will get you through veg. That sure didn't happen for me.
What soil do you recommend, if any? I'm for sure not using this again without amending it to start. I've never had a gnat problem with Ocean Forest, thankfully.
When I do feed, I do it fairly lightly. Never had a lockout. But with this, I'm thinking I should hit them with a good full dose of a good veg fertilizer, because I feel like if it's this empty of nutes, one big feeding to get a reserve in the soil isn't going to lock anything out. Stupid idea?
Any idea how long it should take them to green up after a good feeding?

Roots makes a super soil called lush that has a lot of the ingredients I use in mine. Not sure how much of each ingredient goes into it but it sounds legit. I’ve liked everything I’ve ever used from them. You can buy their master pack which would probably suit you perfectly ranging from $70-$100. It’s probably too late but I wouldn’t recommend trying to “catch up” on nutrients. If there aren’t enough sugars in your roots, the nutrient solution won’t uptake via osmosis. In extreme cases it can pull water out of your plants. Remember light is the plant food and nutrients are like vitamins. Cocoforcannabis.com is most comprehensive all around and goes into detail on this topic. If you’re using organic nutes it won’t hurt to use full strength but otherwise, start at 1/4-1/2 strength depending on a few variables. They’ll get back to normal within a few fertigations. good luck!That does help, thanks. I keep hearing that FF Ocean Forest will get you through veg. That sure didn't happen for me.

What is the purpose or benefit of all those nutrient products? I use the first three. What are the others, and why would you need to use more than the first three? What are the benefits and drawbacks?I use FFOF with Coast of Maine Stonington 50/50 .
When plants are small it holds water and can be an issue if not aware .
When plants get larger and draw more it is a convenience IMO.
There is a feeding schedule for FF nutrients .I would suppose they want you to grow in their soil, so I fertilize on the regular .
Here is their feeding schedule ;
View attachment 1216770
Now I don't use everything listed but I do use the top 3 , Boomerang and wholly mackerel per schedule.
I use the last 3 during flower[ not rize up] .
I don't use their flush [you can flush however you choose IMO] .
Hope this helps with what you got going on now .
I'm an old lady. If you wanna come over and pick up all these heavy plants every couple days to judge their weight, that would be awesome. I'll have cookies for you.“I'm not over- or under-watering. I have good drainage. The pH of my water is between 6.3-6.6 for every watering. I water until I get a tiny bit of runoff, then wait until it is dry two kuckles down into the soil before watering again.”
You are describing poor watering habits. I’ll guarantee it with OF. Learn to water by weight and not “2 knuckles deep.”
Ocean Forest. I’m an old man. You married and do you live in warm country? And forget those stupid moisture meters. They’re totally useless.I'm an old lady.

What's OF?
Gaia greenYour best best is find a nutrient line you like and just use promix as your median. Look at athena...flora flex...Jacks. They are some of the better synthetic nutrients on the market imo. If your looking for organic...I have run geoflora which is a granular you add to the top of your median every 2 weeks. Seems to work good and all you have to do is add ph'd water. Very simple.
