I am using ff ocean forest soil. I'm in veg and i have been monitoring my soil's runoff ppm. I'm over 30 days in abs it went down from 1600 to 800.

I have not added anything. Just made sure the water ph was correct. At what point should i start adding nutrients? How low should i let the nutrients in the soil get?

Well, for one you did the right thing by not using nutrients along side ocean forest. FFOF is a rich, hot soil, that can carry a plant 4-6 weeks worth of vegging on straight water.

Add your bloom nutrients when you switch to 12/12

@superbak i did that my first time with ocean forest. One girl ate everything, the other burned up.

So i should start using their liquid nutes until bloom time?

Are you using the FF trio?

If so, don't use grow big. Too much N to be used in ocean forest. It works well in happy frog and light warrior, but not so much ocean forest.

Big bloom however, is what you want to use at full strength (60 ml per gallon) all the way. Big bloom is all organic, so don't hold back with it.

Tiger bloom should only be used once flowers begin to develop.
