Newbie, regarding feeding and watering

[RazzleDazzleCrystal]

Hi, I repotted my fem photo banana kush 2 days ago, and gave it 48 ounces of water. I think it needs watered. I am getting a pH/moisture probe today....how far down should I send the probe? Also, ordered Fox Farm trio of food...I was told to use the Big Bloom for seedling/early veg, to use the Grow Big for veg, and the Tiger for flowering.

The probe should tell you on the package. You can also stick your finger into the soil down to the second knuckle to tell if the soil needs watered. I’m on the Mega Crop train and haven’t used those nutes but others will chime in. Happy growing

You can use the probe throughout the soil, from about an inch deep to as deep as it will go so you can get a mental 3D image of the moisture content levels in your medium. Poking around with the probe also provides aerating benefit especially when the roots start getting a little crowded.

Fox farm good choice and yeah just follow the instructions to give them the right mix for the right growth stage at the right concentration. If there's already nutrients in your soil, you have to take that into account when you're feeding so you don't give them too much.

The cannabis was repotted a few days ago...I used Ocean Forest for soil....I don't want to burn it.....so I assume there are some nutrients in the soil already.

You're operating in the Fox brand universe (not mixing brands which is good) so just follow feeding amounts when using Ocean Forest and it should work out.

The OF probably has enough nutes for about 3 to 4 weeks. When I used Fox Farm I started at half dose. It can get hot.

But I was confused by the feeding schedule. They have multiple bottles of stuff. Was never sure if I was supposed to use all 3 at the same time.

Yeah I do wish they'd push dry amends for new growers but there's no money in it for the manufacturers if they aren't selling you bottles and bottles of shit.

Beginning to think people think I'm full of shit about the claim, but I've been running with EB Stone Recipe 420 Bhang they sell at DIY here in town and I fed two plants through 3 months of veg without having to add anything. Here's a shot 3 months in before I did any amends and before the 100 mph Santa Ana Winds did a number on them.

They sell EB stone soil at a nursery in my town. I've not use it yet and i've not checked the price of it since last year spring. I can't afford real spendy soil new soils hence i recycle and amend the outdoor. But i'm gonna check it out again see the ingredients. I've been having good luck with the Dr. Earth Mother Land soil it's organic and has some mycronize in it. Picked 2 cubic ft. bags last fall end of the year marked it down.
