You stumbled onto some very valuable info and a handful of relatively experienced growers willing to save u lots of time and money.
You should definitely read the posts by Buddzbuddha regarding an entire grow with Fox farms ocean Forest and very little else. It will shift your paradigm and give u a much better understanding of how a plant gets from start to finish.
I was in your shoes not long ago and his posts completely gave me the tools to complete indoor grows that are predictable, problem free, and, most importantly, bountiful. His wisdom also encouraged me to tweek things along the way, which has led to even more growing success than I thought possible…..for a hack like me anyway.
For the record, I also tossed aside the synthetic bottled nutes long ago in favor of simply mixing (into my soil or medium of choice) in 3-4 dry organic ingredients and simply watering.
Previous comments are totally correct about this style being more forgiving.
Lastly, phytoplankton is giving u golden advice about just running the big 3 FF products. Do it the way he describes…..and don’t be tempted to water too often. Water slowly….really slowly when you do, but don’t water again until u can lift those pots like a feather…..that means the soil has achieved dry status and needs water again.
In the meantime, find the Buddzbuddha thread on Ocean Forest and take it in. I wish I had stumbled on it years before I did.
One more thing….don’t ever take advice from anyone whose plants look worse than yours. The proof is always in the pudding.
My last harvest is pictured. 3 diff strains that all had differing needs, with harvest times almost a month apart…
Good luck and Don’t hesitate to ask for help for even the simplest issue.
