FFOF is strong I always advise adding 30% perlite to the soil mix, to reduce those hot soil effects. later in veg ..foilar feed with kelp juice ...add half teaspoon to your pint spray bottle fill with water shake well and spray 2x times per day ...but only in mid to late veg...
later in late bud you will want to look and some fruiting nutes like comfrey tea or other ...but FFOF is a good long term soil that will give you few issues so long as you dilute those hot effects
Thanks everybody, already bought the FFOF, so gonna use it first! Will post what happens!
with perlite!
I don't use any extra perlite with pro-mix. Never had a problem with them growing too slow. Only growing too fast.
That's always great thing happening, Smokey!
Hoping the same with happen with frostfre. Aren't autos awesome to watch grow?? They change so dramatically in such a short span of time...esp. when budding occurs.
From our own experiences, Fox Farm was a bit too hot from pat content, thus 'cut' it a bit with perlite and/or vermiculite.
Problems with nutrient deficiencies do happen, but usually using an inferior soil mix or not keeping hydro pH/nutes in check. It's a learning curve. Once you have it down....shezahm!!
