I've heard to mix it 25%-50% but 50/50 sounds a little
high and wouldn't it affect the nutrients in the soil?
Or do you just feed sooner? Thank You in advance!

I add 4 ounces to every 1.5 cuft bag, and I also add 1 cup of dolomite lime too. Works for me and I haven't had any probelems. I prefer to have the soil dry a little faster anyways too keep the bugs down that lay eggs in the soil.

Where did you git 4oz ? 4oz=1/2 cup to 1.5 cubic feet?
Or 4oz to 10 gallons is one bag of ffof~I don't think soooo

1/2 cup of perlite will weigh an 1/8 ounce maybe a bit more. That stuff is pretty light weight.

I've never measured perlite and just 'eyeball' it. 30%-40% perhaps? IDK

My general rule of thumb is, when it looks like there's too much, it's just right.

I have had nothing but nuet lock problems with ffof. I mixed 6oz of perlight to each 5 gallon pot and 7oz of peet as well. The soil with half the nuets of the ff 3pack is making the leaves turn krispy. next time is roots organic in 2 gallon pots for 12/12 grow for me with 9 plants under a 600hps. ffof has wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to many nuets in it.

I have 3 bags of Foxfarm Ocean Forest soil. The bags are 12 Quarts each. I am going to put 2/3 gallon fabric pots in my 32/32/63" Grow Tent with a 600 LED Light. How much Perlite should I use for each bag? Ranman.

I don’t even use extra perlite in my ffof but I’m sure e it helps ... I wouldn’t worry about putting too much or too little ,maybe like just a cup or 2 per pot

My plants are over 4 Inches tall and starting to lean. They are only 9 days old should I put them in my Fabric grow pots and get them in my 32/32/63" tent with my 600 LED light. They are still in the Jiffy Pellets???

I have 3 bags of 12 first FFOF But I am only going to use two 3 gallon Fabric grow pots. I was told to use 4 quart s per bag Ranman. Should I put my Jiffy Pellets in the grow bags now? Only 8 days old and four inches tall, starting to lean bad. Ranman.

Take it easy the ffof is packed with nutes... that all I use for the first month personally, if you have to you can do 3 gallons but the spread will not help with lighting . Moving from 1 galllon to 3 or close too will help ... just transplant the stem a bit under dirt to hold it up and prune the bottom if possible.

Here is what they look like at 8 days old. I have been putting them in Tent a hour max two hours a day last three days. First time indoor grower and lost. My tent is 32/32/63" 600 w LED LIGHT HELP. Should I put Jiffy Pellets in the 3 gallon bags & just start the 18 on 6 off light s schedule? Or should I just put them in 1gallon pots. Using FFOF SOIL& some Perlite. Ranman.

I’m confused with this light ,,, just make sure you have roots as you can transfer into party cups or 1 gallons watever ... I didn’t realize they were so small ... 18/6 works great.

I doubt it’s 600 watts but at seedling stage they do t need much
