Ok so here are my questions,

FFOF comes with enough nutes built in for 30 days....

when should i start adding nutes? I have Humboldt Honey ES carbs, FF BIG BLOOM, FF TIGER BLOOM and BAT GUANO (0-5-0)...

since the FFOF SOil has built in nutes when should i start using what?

im thinking Big Bloom and Humboldt Honey ES Carbs during Veg and then add tiger bloom in flower....i still dont know when to use the Bat Guano! The soil like i said says "no additives for 30 days" so do i add bat guano after 30 days and how do i add it if my plant is already in the soil?

Theoretically everytime i transplant into new soil i should use ZERO nutes for 30 days?....

guano is organic and thats got low P anyway. Plus the FF has guano. Id wait three weeks and then use the grow big. Tiger bloom is for flowering and big bloom can be used during both I think. Google FF Nute feeding charts.

Exactly, use b/b throughout the whole grow! Use the chart, thats what I go off of and have had great results.. Just don't get your tablespoons and teaspoons mixed up lol, the tiger bloom is pretty potent stuff.

i get that but WHEN? should i wait 30 days bc of the soil being rich already? or are you saying start using big bloom immediately/day 1 into fresh soil....

Also what about the carbs? Humboldt Honey ES...

i am usually starting with cuttings if that helps...

The plant will tell you when it needs to be fed. Either way in a few weeks you could start using low doses of either of those liquid nutes, and work your way up as the plants grow. I haven't used Tiger Bloom in a while, but I believe it is a concentrated one-part nutrient so you could start with low doses of that, as the plants mature start to work in the Big Bloom. The high P guano you can mix with a tablespoon with a gallon of water once your plants are in flower. Honey ES is a carbohydrate supplement that most people probably use during the last few weeks of flower.

thanks....
still the more answers the better...

everytime i repot into FFOF should i stop using nutes? it seems like i wont use any nutes until my final repot unless im not repotting every 30 days. Since i repot into fresh soil should i view it as giving it nutes for another 30 days?

You can start 1/4 dosage after 3-4 weeks of Grow Big and Big Bloom. And when you transplant, I think you wanna wait a good 10 days before you feed nutrients again. I did 2 grows using FF soils (Ocean Forest first followed by Happy Frog) along with the whole line of nutrients plus solubles.

When ever I transplant into a larger container ( I use FFOF as well) I will watch the girls and begin giving 1/4 - 1/2 str nutes at around day 14 ) I nute once per week and give PH'ed water inbetween, I have never had a problem with this. Now if you want to start adding nutes now just flush until you r getting a PPM slightly above your starting (native PPM) IE my tap water PPM is 90 - I would flush until run off is 150ish

But what the hell do I know I am just a stoner

When you do your final transplant for before you force flowering, you can add in some additional guano to that mix. You could put a few inches of soil in the bottom of your container, then sprinkle a couple tablespoons of guano right on top, followed by as much more soil as you need before you place the root-ball in there. This way the roots will grow into it over the course of a couple weeks. Then yes, you either give plain water for a few more weeks or go back to light doses of the liquid fertilizers.
