I’m doing some autos(lemon pie) using a Fox farm soil blend of happy tree frog/ocean forest blend/ and a bit of Kryptonite soil. Would anyone recommend any nuts along the way?? Also a side question what should my soil PH runoff be reading at? Still pretty new to using soil lol.

Hey! With that blend I'd say your good for 4 weeks without adding addition nutrients. Ocean forrest has a pretty heavy mix and you've added the Krypotonite so your good. Do keep an eye out for possible nutrient deficiencies before those 4 weeks just in case. PH range should be between 5.5 - 6-5. That being an ideal 5.8 in veg and 6.2 in flower. Another little suggestion if you're new to using soil. Don't over water, it's easily the most common mistake. It's better to under water because you can easily notice and simply add more. Over watering can take days to dry up, in those days your plants have less oxygen in the roots and grow much slower if they grow at all. This can also cause unwanted root problems. So keep an eye on the amount of water. Good luck and happy growing!

Hey Growmie, I actually use the Fox Farm Happy Frog on all of my grows and it's great and all I grow is autoflowers. The soil should have enough nutrients in it to last the plant until Week 3. So you won't need to add anything until then. Also, be careful with their Ocean Forest Blend it tends to be too hot for autoflower seedling. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.
