Ocean Forest.... Nutrients or not

[JakesGarden]

When rooted clones are placed into 4" pots of Ocean Forest do they actually need nutrients or will the soil be enough for them to thrive for four weeks (give or take)? Newbie here; would like other people's input. Many thanks.

It's good for a few weeks.

No ffof will not last a month in those tiny pots.

Use 3 gallons at least

He could go a couple of weeks in the 4" pots and then transplant into the 3 gallon pots and get some extra time with out ferts, but we both know, at some point, he is gonna need some ferts.

The 4" pots are only for 3 weeks of veg.. then transplanted to 3 gallon pots for rest of life. We were only concerned with vegetation cycle.

Ok, then you should be good, but if they start to yellow get them in the 3 gal pots asap. You are still gonna need to feed them. I would also suggest giving them time to let the roots fill the pot before you flip. At least a week or 2.

Id suggest looking into organics and making your own soil. But with what you have going now, something cheap and simple I could suggest is dynagrow foliage pro. I dont use bottles for soil anymore, got 90% of house and garden line as a sample and have used it before with success.

No, you do not need to add more nutes for awhile with ffof. It can be a little hot, so I like water ph of 6.5-7.0 in the beginning. Just add a little perlite, it's a little thick. I use happy frog for clones, little lighter on the nutes for stage 1. I usually go from clone to solo cup to get a nice root mass, then to 1 gal or 3 or 5 gal containers depending.
