Well what does the rest of your setup look like? Pictures? I would give them strait water for another week or so and then start them on 1/4 tsp of the nutes you plan on using (I've never used FF nutes but I use FFOF medium) then work your way up slowly.

It's best to start with a weak dosage... FF's schedule has a pretty heavy nute load and can cause burn... start with 1/4 or 1/2 of the recommended dosages and work your way up... you'll definitely know if you go too far.

Eh, well, just go up a little at a time with each feeding. Definitely don't exceed the chart's recommendations, though. I am ultra-cautious myself, because I don't want to flush constantly.

cool i dont like doing to much or to lil bt the best way is to move up lil by lil right?
Yes... the idea is simply to avoid shocking the plant with too much nutrients at once... if you ease it in little by little it will adjust more easily.

I wouldnt feed nutes for like a month.. Its like feeding a new born baby solid food. A month the you take a gallon and put a drop then like two weeeks later if the ate it okay. Two drops. Then so on.. Theres alot of stickys on how to grow feel free to read them..
Edit- everyone feeds different, read carefully.. GL with the babies.

I dont want to seem like a dick here but the roach says that he has a contract to grow from his dispence what kinda of shit is this unproffesional to give someone that doesnt have any expierence growing to let them grow for patient use this is stupid and i dont think i would want to get my stuff from this place thats what i cant stand about these dispensaries there sub standard weed maxxed out with chemicals from someone that doesnt flush properly this shit makes me sick when i smoke it and i can tell within the first three or four hits if the shit is nute filled I hope you atleast do it right roach and do it with TLO cause thats the only way to grow medicinal for patients with immune disorders such as hiv or someone with krohns

Let me know how it goes and what kind of dosage you run. I also have all fox farm. Ocean forest soil and every nute on the soil grow list. I'm growing in 4 gallon pots. I am starting at 1/4 strength and going up to 1/2 strength by week 4. Keeping 1/2 strength through week 10 and using water only after that. I'm am on week one of veg currently. The reason I'm not going over 1/2 strength is because I am growing 11 strains and want to be cautious of nute burn without different levels for each plant. I'm kind of hoping we can keep eachother posted on our results and learn from one another's lessons. Maybe start a list of how each plant reacts to the fox farm line up and all that good stuff. Anyway, best of luck with your grow!

When you start using the grow big you gotta watch your plants cause on some strains if you follow the feeding schedule with the grow big it can and will sometimes overload your plant leaving your with a nitrogen toxicity turning your plants really green at first and your like awsome then you use it again and your plants turn dark green almost black and it burns them i started with the whole fox farm lineup it works ok i dont follow the schedule anymore cause like you said smokey you got different strains and they will all require a different amt of nutes i just feed when the plant looks like it needs to be fed or its lacking something

FFOF has a pretty good amount of initial fertilizer.
In a 5gal pot, you should easily be able to go 4 weeks before any nutes are required.
If you cant resist the urge to feed something, try a EWC tea. Plants love it!
