This was my first grow so I have nothing to compare it to, but it was successful so it gets a good review 😃. It was fun to grow such a short plant and definitely look forward to growing it again. I'm 5 days into curing the first plant and had a sample last night. It smoked great and paired well with a double IPA.

I experience nute lockout mid-way through flowering. I hadn't been watering until runoff or following their recommended flush schedule, so I'll accept responsibility for the plant issues and give FF the benefit of the doubt. Once I started watering until runoff and flushed the soil, things bounced back as much as they could. I will use these again next grow.

I started using this way too late, after experiencing nute lockout and deficiencies. I won't be able to say for sure if it helps until my next grow.

I was having all sort of issues and at one point the leaves looked like I was having root problems. I added this a few times during the grow to try and help the plant as much as possible. Things got better, but I don't know if this was the reason or not. It definitely didn't make things worse.

I grew two 4AM plants. The first 4AM was harvested on day 80 and the second on day 91. Plant 1 spent the entire grow under a 150W HPS and plant 2 under a 350W (136W draw) . Plant 2 got really burned at the top even though I was within the mfr's recommended distance (16-20") and I ended up putting it under the HPS for the last 10 days. Plant 1's buds are more dense and less leafy, but both plants produced > 1.5 oz each. For my first grow I'm really happy with how things turned out and am looking forward to taking the lessons I've learned and applying them to my next grow in the new year.

Should I still be watering these like young seedlings (just a small amount around the plant base) or should I be adding water until there is run off now?

Hi @willistoned! Don't water to the runoff until she has become a strong adult, otherwise you will generate an over-watering situation and flood/choke the roots. Water with ~5-10% of your container's capacity for the first 3 weeks then slowly increase to ~10-20% around week 4 and later. More than 20% should give you a little drain/runoff and push the old salts out of the medium, but this shouldn't be done every day either. Hope this will help, happy growing 👊

Soil is 40% FF Ocean Forest, 30% FF Happy Frog, and 30% perlite. Growth seems slow and leaves are a bit dark so I've been avoiding any extra nutrients beyond what's in the FFOF. I have a bottle of FF Big Bloom. Are they ready for it or should I wait another week before adding?

Hello ! Well you can search across the web but you will never fing the Ocean forest NPK as it's still unknow even now , the oldest thread I saw on forum are from 2007 and still no answer until then but many growers stated that it provide enough nutrients for the 2/3 first week before you need to fertilize. Your bottle of Big bloom is useless at that point because it would not provide the good nutrients amount for that stage. You should wait until you see the 1st pistols before starting to add big bloom. I hope it will help you 😁🙌

Out of the tap, my water is ~100 PPM. I'm feeding 1/4 of recommended FF trio + Beastie Bloomz and the PPM is ~300 going in and ~600 coming out. I'm assuming the difference is from what's in the ocean forest soil. Am I feeding enough? Should I add Cal-Mag?

you should definitely add cal mag, especially for the magnesium part of the equation. I notice some leaf cupping, doesn t look like much right now but that's bad news, you want to add something like enzymes to your mix and chelation agents like humic and fluvic acid to try to beat what I suspect is a root problem. Hope this helps ! 🚀

@CRiSPrGrow, I picked up some Cal-Mag+ and Cannazym that was recommended by the sales person. He suggested using the Cannazym next time I flush, but reading about it online, it seems I should be adding it weekly. If I just did a flush yesterday, would you recommend adding this next time I water or wait a few weeks until I flush again?

@@willistoned, like i said enzymes and chelation agents, stick with your current brand, mixing and matching can be an issue without more research dassit 🚀

@CRiSPrGrow, thanks! I’m heading to the grow supply store today and will pick up some cal-mag. Do you have any recommendations for products to help with potential root issues?

@@Athos thanks for the help! That's good to know about the 200-250 PPM target. I wish there was a way to select multiple answers since both responses give helpful information. I did add a light amount of Fox Farms Grow Big 10 days ago but only 1/4 of amount recommended by the feeding schedule I've been following - https://foxfarmfertilizer.com/images/pdf/usa-soil-schedule-english_3-2018.pdf
