Im going to being starting a batch of sativas in fox farm light warrior, then after a quick 12/12 to determine sex the females will be transplanted from their 1 gallon containers to a 5 gallon, I plan on doing a ratio of 2 gallons of FF oceans forest and 2 gallons of happy frog and one gallon of perlite per container. Does this sound like good mix? and when should i start using nutes? any suggestions or helpful tips?
 
I use both LW and OF mixed with perlite when they get outta seedling stage. I go for a 3:1 mix with the LW and OF, and just add perlite as I see fit. Your mix is good combo though.
I'm kinda confused with the "quick 12/12", IME plants will show their sex when they reach maturity, even in a 24hr light cycle.
As for nutes you dnt need anything for the first week or so because the soil is already loaded with good stuff. The second week of veg use the FF feeding chart and whatever line nutes you see fit. Just use a qtr of the recommended dose then move up.
Good luck and happy growing!

you can put little plants into a quick 12/12 to determine sex so theres no waste of nutrients and good soil and water on bigger males.

Check out the soil link in my sig bro! Made a Fox Farm thread a while back and have posted anything that I've found helpful pertaining to the matter!
I'm organic tho, so I can't give you any advice regarding bottled nutes, but they're a few guys who've shared the regiments using bottles with FFOF.

Good luck bro :joint:

Well shit they didnt have happy frog so I only got 2 bags 1.5 cubic feet bags of oceans forest and 1 cubic ft. bag of light warrior and a 8 quart bag of perlite should I go for the happy frog mix or is the oceans forest with light warrior and perlite a good enough mix?
 
Strain unknown, got 22 seeds outta an 1/8 of some good smoke. Popped 8 and all 8 are female. I think its a sativa/indica mix..
got a 400w 6" cooltube with lumentek ballast, and two 4' foot 2 light t5hos for side lighting.
Hoping to pull 8oz possibly. Just starting my second week of nutes with FF big bloom and tiger bloom.

whats a good soil recipe for light warrior, oceans forest, perlite and vermiculite. there 5 gallon pots so per pot i was thinking 1 gal of light warrior from first container to big container of oceans forest mixed with perlite and vermiculite if i can use it i just have a bag lol but yeah and plus how much lime per gallon of soil, so what measurements of each should i add?
 
I would still go abt 3:1 and add perlite/Verm as you see fit. Its not really an exact science. Just remember the OF has all the good extras in it. I think most ppl use LW to cut the OF because it has a bad rep for burning up seedlings.
Next time, I plan on leaving out the LW all together though and transplanting my seedlings straight from Dixie cups with generic Jiffy seedling starter, to 3gal smart pots with all OF and perlite.

yeah thats why im going light warrior 1 gallon bet even then might make the bottom last inches OF just to get it use to it lol but yeah first time going good soil so just heard of people saying OF is too strong but at the same time ppl say it had no problem from seed to harvest in OF so i guess it just depends the strain/plant and how it reacts, I low key feel like it would work weed is actually a pain in the ass compared to the tomatoes and other fruit i grow lol. This may just be a high thought but are all the weed we have like domesticated marijuana cuz think about it when people get the real sativa like afghan shit it just grows like a fucking tree and super easily
