Fox Farm Soil Mix

image.jpg
Been debating on what I should do so I just made up my mind and went and got some Fox Farms Ocean Forest and mixed it with a full bag of light warrior and some fertilome perlite. Then I added a little lime (ground limestone.) I am growing in 5 gallon buckets.
Let me know any suggestions..!!!

I use basically the same items you have, minus the light warrior.

I simply use 2/3 FFOF, 1/3 perlite and 1 TBSP/ga of lime.

Keep in mind, you will not need to feed your girls anything for a little while. I find good old pH'd water works for 4 - 5 weeks. Now, I do not start my little ones in 5 ga buckets. I put them in 1 ga and transplant them into 5 gal buckets. Since I am giving them more soil mix, I will go back to pH'd water for a couple weeks as the plants work through the nutes in the new soil.

Lastly, I also use the FF nutes and would recommend you "ease" into feeding your girls by using 1/2 strength nutes for the first feeding to see how they take it. Depending on how they react, give them another 1/2 strength or hit'm with full on nutes the next time you feed.

Hope this helps.

Good luck and keep us posted.
