It's been another great (boring?) week for my first grow. Things feel like they're dialed in now and I can finally relax and not worry about every detail. The humidity in my tent was in the low 20s despite having a good-sized humidifier running on high. I decided to get a smaller inline fan (47 cfm vs 203 cfm) and am now just exhausting directly into my basement and not using a carbon filter. The smell is noticeable outside the tent, but the environment is a solid 75℉ / 35% through the day so it seems like a good trade off. I'm planning to kick the big fan on during the last couple weeks of flowering if the plants are happy with the lower humidity. Watering every 2-3 days, and introduced Tiger Bloom to the mix at 1/4 recommended strength. Feeding every other watering, about once a week. The plants seem very happy so I will likely just keep this up until the final weeks.

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
