So no bloom when using ocean forest? Hmm. See this is my biggest confusion. Nutrients. I started at 1/4 the dosage per gallon then went up to 1/2. Didn't know I shouldn't have added bloom
It can be used. But it is good to feed the grow formula for a few weeks into flowering to build up the nitrogen stored in the plant.
The best grow info I have found (not marijuana) is the education section on the Premier Horticulture Website (pro Mix).
The guides for pot growing seem to mix hydro and potting soil growing stuff.
I only add pure blend pro grow to ocean forest and not til a few weeks after the transplant up to the final pot I use for flowering.
Your plants look ok and are growing fine. Just lightly flush out some of the salts like I said and add back about a third strength dose of the grow ratio. And wait and watch for improvement.
It's a learning process. Don't sweat it. We all went through it. But read about gardening and greenhouse plant growing for better info.
The forum makes it confusing unless you have a background of knowledge to know if people's answers are correct.
There is a video of the president of Dyna Gro saying he only made the bloom bottle for customer demand. He recommends foliage pro(a grow nute) all the way through for peat/ perlite type mixes or soil.
You can get great results using only Jacks 20-20-20 standard fertilizer.
And always wait for the pots to feel dry and light before watering and water to a good 20% runoff to remove salts if you are adding fertilizer.
And I taper my feed strength down at the end while they ripen as they don't need much nutes as they finish.
Also realize you are feeding the soil not the plant. The nutes are like vitamins. They just need to be available in balance when the plant needs them. So really you are just replacing them for future use when you get the amounts right.
They actually use sunlight for energy instead of food. The nutrients are like building blocks.
It's a learning curve but you have to be able to read what the plants are telling you. That is the goal.
