Nutes??

Welcome to RIU!
When I used GH Flora, I rarely ever had to go above 2/3 recommended dose. I've never used FF products though. You can always bump up nutrient levels if needed, but you can't extract nutes from the plant after over feeding.
What medium are you growing in? We've had a rash of new growers lately growing in FFOF soil (which is already infused with a month's worth of nutrients) with overfeeding issues because they then apply full dose of nutes on top. Don't fall into this trap. Understand your medium by thoroughly reading the ingredients and any information on the package. Ask here for clarifications.

I always go lower. Especially from the start. 25% recommended. Once the plant is well established ill up the dose to like 50-60 % recommended. A few weeks into flower and I'll eventually up it close to the recommended dose. The supplier will mostly always say to add more. The more you use.. the more you have to buy. Also depends on the medium you're using to. Coco, soil, hydo.. etc.. all have different waysto feed. I usually let the plant tell me what it needs if i do become deficient in an area. Gl
I forgot to mention in my post above that I typically start seedlings on 1/4-1/2 dose, and clones 1/2 dose for the first 1-2 weeks.
Thanks! I am using FF Ocean Forest. I've had them in the soil for over a month but I plan to transplant one of them into fresh FF Ocean Forest.
