add some extra perlite or substrate like peat moss or coco. i always cut it with 2:1 of ocean forest: coco. the ocean forest is usually to potent for most plants right out of the bag, especially clones. doesnt drain as fast as id like without either. i usually would start feeding nutes about 2-3 weeks in veg. at once a week, maybe twice a week in mid flower. if u want to use water only then id add in some down to earth amendment mixed, either the rose and flower or the all purpose mix. add at the recomended rate, along with some quality compost and/or worm castings. maybe alil extra kelp and ur good

interesting topic, I have been wanting to do a water only grow from seed to harvest using ocean forest as the base. So what I'm gathering is if I done a 3x3 hole 24 inches deep and mixed in 2 bags of ocean Forrest, a bag of composet and about 2 cups of the down to earth all purpose in May, it should carry me all the way to harvest with water only delivering a nice big, heavy, healthy plant?

overgrowdaworld.. uses straight phed tap water all the way through flower. .with just a transplant a week or two before flower. I mean in reality.. that's the cheapest method your going to find .
