Switching to FF Ocean Forest?

I'm on my first grow, and my plants are like 5 weeks old. One of them is still in a 1 gallon pot and its drooping super bad because it desperately needs to be transplanted to a bigger pot. However, I'm out of FF Light Warrior (which is what I have been using for 100% of my stuff up to this point and I finally got the hang of the right amount of nutes to use with Light Warrior). I can't get any more until the only hydro store in town opens again on monday (like 60 hours from now).

But I've got a bag of FF Ocean Forest. So should I transplant the plant into straight Ocean Forest? Will it need nutes or will the Ocean Forest be good enough to take care of it for awhile?

Basically what I am asking is will I hurt my plant more by leaving it to droop for 60 more hours, or transplanting it into a soil that my newbie ass has never worked with before and possibly mess up on the nutes?

Thanks.

Switch em to the OF. The light warrior is intended for small cuttings, seedlings and germinating seeds. I think you'll like the OF, it has some good nutes in it I don't add anything to it until flower.

I heard that the OF was a little hot and you have to be careful not to over fertilize. I'm using Happy Frog, this is my first grow and I gotta say it's doing very well.:leaf:
happy frogs over OF all day long good for you

to the OP got any pics???

switch over to OF you don't need to worry about it being hot or giving any nutes at all for a month the soil will sustain your plants all you have to do is give ph corrected water and they will thrive like crazy. OF is much better than light warrior in my own experience. Do it you won't be sorry!! GOOD LUCK!

Nah, its not just a watering problem. I've been trying that but it doesn't help. All my plants have gone through this and the drooping is fixed within hours of moving them to the bigger container. I've just run out of soil so I can't do this one.

I know Light Warrior is intended for small cuttings and stuff, but I've been using it all the way through so that I can get a hang of how much nutrients they need at different phases of life since this is my first grow. They are doing well in the Light Warrior.

But I think i'm going to take your advice and switch this one to the OF.

EDIT: I can post some pics tomorrow if yall want. I can wait to do the transplant if you think looking at pics could change the decision. Otherwise I'll just go ahead and transplant to the Ocean Forest.

i use ocean forest for bloom, and love it. i transplant to that about a week before they go to bloom. Its good soil i agree, i use happy frog for veg until that point though. but if a bigger container is whats needed, do it.

If you 'got the hang' of LW, I'd stick with that.

Go with what you know. They'll survive for 60 hrs, trust me.
