Ok, first of all THANK YOU for any, and all, help!
I'll tell you a little bit about my situation. My (Vision Seeds) Jack Herer plant is 2 weeks old and I just transplanted it into a 2 gallon smart pot of pretty much straight Ocean Forest. I meant to add more Light Warrior, but I put the LW in first then put in too much OF and couldnt really mix it up well without just tossing the dirt all over the floor, so long story short, its mainly FFOF with a layer of Light Warrior at the bottom...hmm lol.
The seedling has only been in the mix for about 2 days (today being the third), and I dont notice any burn or anything yet. It actually looks a lot better and is growing fast compared to when I had it in the solo cup of straight LW, so im hopeful. If you think it will die or something let me know! This is my first grow so I'm kind of at my own mercy here lol.
I got a bottle of Botanicare Pure Blend Original Metabolic Grow Formula (the truly organic one) from a friend, that I'm wondering about also. I've read that it is good to use as a supplement to the ferts (which are already in the ffof) but obviously the little baby doesnt need anything on top of the ffof for a while right??? Although I've heard it is pretty mild.
Heres what the bottle of the Pure Blend Original says:
Guaranteed Analysis-
Total Nitrogen (N)
0.2% Ammoniacal Nitrogen
0.6% Nitrate Nitrogen
0.2% other water soluble nitrogen
Available Phosphate 0.5%
Soluble Potash 1.0%
0.07% Humic Acid derived from leonardite (Ive read that the "old" original blend had a good amount of humic acid. Is this the good amount or the newer, lesser amount??)
Hmm what else.. It says to use 1-3 teaspoons per gallon with the standard nute solution, or if youre using it without other nutes then to use 1-3 tablespoons per gallon. It also says to use it with every watering for best results, but im just guessing they want to sell more lol, but def let me know if im off base here!
So basically what I want to find out is:
If you were in my situation and had a seedling sitting in a 2 gal. smart pot of ffof, what would you do? Would you just let it be for about a month and let it use up all the nutes in the soil? Would you supplement the waterings with the Pure Blend? Would you feed the Pure Blend with every watering?
I also have 2 seedlings that are still in Solo Cups of Light warrior, so I have the opportunity to do things differently with them, so also let me know what you would do with them. I have FFOF, Light warrior, and pure blend to work with.
I left out a big piece of information I feel like lol, my bad, wow...I plan to be using the smart pot seedling for my mother since it seems to be the most vigorous. That may change what you would do here, so just keep that in mind. The other two I plan to take to harvest.
I think that's about it. I looked around for threads that dealt with my specific situation but this sitch is pretty specific lol. Thanks for everything, in advance!
Peace and Love!
