Hello!
Be careful with
FOX FARM O.F. If not mixing with anything else. Is heavy in nutrients sometimes with seedlings, it depends the quality of your seeds + strain sometimes.
Once I got 2 lockouts with 1 strain (blue dream home-made seeds), but the rest was pretty fine all from quality brands.
With no extra nuts, O.F. can handle almost 2 months without adding extra nuts in veg. I've tried this with at least 6 strains with very similar results (Indica, Sativa and hybrids).
I add in week 6-8 of veg. 2.5ml/gal. of
General Organics Veg. the first time and next week 5ml/gal. The week before switch to bloom i'm adding 2.5ml of Veg nuts + 2.5ml/gal. of bloom nuts before switch. Never exceeding 900ppm. with RO water.
In mid-bloom I got a lockout because the plants were hungry, but only got nutrient burn by exceeding 1200 ppm in one fed.
So I flushed and divide de intake on nuts in half. Less nutrients 2 times a week. With better results.
I start feeding when yellow leaves appear. Because the acidity growing in your medium if it contains a lot of organic stuff.
Talking about 4 months of grow max. More time I recommend dry nutrients with slow release.
In bloom is just be gentle. Know your plants!
But is just my experience. Hope everything goes like a charm. Looks great tho!
