I use FFOF and Happy Frog straight out of the bag. Green lush happy plants and no need to use veg nutes.
166 views....0 replies...Well then.
I got my rock dust. Went ahead and added two and a half cups...
And we'll call it a day
Ok so you mentioned feeding and a feeding schedule in your post above yea?? Yea..
Well the reason ppl go "ape shit" and amend their soil is so that they don't have to worry about a "feeding schedule". Ever.
If you amend the soil before you use it and you can go H20 only from start to finish.
Some say there's enough from start to finish like you, and some say otherwise...Alls I know is that my FFOF certainly has enough juice to go the distance.
Also, if you transplant using grow bags, you will NOT encounter transplant shock. Also, you take the time pH your water for whatever reason, and I don't worry about it because I know my soil buffers the pH of everything I put in it....
But should I give you hell because you pH your water and I think thats VERY unnecessary given the fact that I haven't done it it?
Seems like you got a beef with something someone said, but I certainly didn't say that you couldn't grow using FFOF and nothing more..
But
& I garden on carpet lol. Shit is CLEAN!
It's all good bro. A lot of things can be made simpler than they are true!
But likewise, you can make the soil better by amending it..If that wasn't the case, this organics section wouldn't exist![]()
The more you learn about soil, the more you'll realize that there's more too it man.
You just gotta look a little deeper..And believe me, I'm ALWAYS lookin' for ways to improve anything that I can.
This magical super soil that your talking about, I think it exists. If you couldn't make better soils, FFOF would cost the same an Miracle grow and other cheaper soils, which are amended with few ingredients.
FFOF costs more per bag bcuz there' more in it per bag brother. That's fact, just your the labels.
And it's not the growers need to creat a super soil to be successful, growing in one just makes the process easier.
Like no problems at all easy.
For example, if you add more earthworm castings to your FFOF, you unleash the power of Nitrogen in your soil by adding more Nitrogen fixing baceria.
Adding more organic matter to the soil mean the potential for more life in the soil, which means the potential for more available nutrients..
Sure you can get by just fine with FFOF. That's true.
I'm not into getting by, I'm trying to excel...
I'm one of those "new" noobs bro. There's so much more to it....![]()
I'm using fem. seeds atm bro. Everything I've got right now is ordered from Attitude except for the pic that I posted above of the bag seed.
I don't really have the luxury of owning the place and having ample space, so I make due in the closet. But with that said, I go with fem. just to save the time and space.
But why do you say that you can increase your odds of females by running the lights 16/8? I wasn't aware of that bro.
And happy frog is coir based rather than soil based, so it's a different beast than the FFOF.
I went with FFOF because it was soil. IDK that it's fact, but I've read that the pH in coir is less stable than that of a soil base.
But you can use several things to add more Nitrogen bro! CHECK THIS THREAD OUT HAHA! Everything you're asking is here 3 times!
Have a quick look and get back to me hahah! I promise your answers are here.
I stock pile shit that I find interesting and informative here, and revisit it all from time to time
But you can't elevate the N too much using worm castings. They're a very mild fert. You don't wanna over do it tho like with anything
You kinda gotta pick thru it for the relevant info, but this is some good stuff for any soil nerd

Those are nice pics....I never took pics of my grows but I produced colas the size of a regular size water bottle....huge...grade a smoke....
Of course....space is a non factor in my case....but those are beautiful girls...for sure!!
