Confused about Fox Farms Trio

Hey guys, sorry, I know this has been asked a thousand times but could I get some clarification on using these nutes?
I see more than one variation of the chart and I’m not sure which one I should be using



Both of those charts say they’re for soil. Only difference I can see if one says it’s for ocean forest, the other says “your preferred” fox farms soil. Maybe I’m missing something.
Also, I’ve seen videos that say it’s for tomatoes/peppers and not cannabis, and that it’s totally different.
Lastly, when should I add cal mag?
For reference, I’m in happy frog, 3 gallon final pot size

This is the one I use.


I use the top 3 w/ the calmag.
I grow in promix so I starts using nutes maybe 2 weeks from sprout.
The happy from soil should get you by 3 to 4 weeks without adding nutes.
As far as calmag. I follow the feeding schedule. I feed full strength and water only between feedings.
Feed, water,feed,water, etc.

The chart for the ocean forest is different cuz that soil has more nutrients in it.

Now I’m seeing stuff that says if you’re using the trio only and not all the other stuff, to follow the directions on the bottle

There’s the OF chart but the other one says “your preferred fox farm soil”. So if OF is my preferred soil and I follow that chart, it’s gonna get burnt? This is kinda nutty

I’m really tempted to say to hell with the FF stuff. Does anyone have a recommendation for a different 3-bottle line? I’m looking at maybe GH flora or dynagrow

I agree. Lol
But then they say ocean forest is good for 4 to 6 weeks on nutes. Confusing. I have been using the trio for couple years now. Everytime I try a different line up or soil I screw things up and end up back with again.
I have heard lots of good things about the jacks 321 but never used it.
I tried happy frog dirt and indicanja and ended up w/fungas gnats.
Went back to promix.

I think I’m going to try pro mix next time. My first two grows I used this stuff by growth science on Amazon. It worked fine but it’s discontinued. I was excited to try FF but there’s SO much conflicting information it makes me uneasy. I have full, unopened bottles of it but I think I might just go with the GH. Straightforward and easy. I know people love jacks but it is pricey and I can’t get it on Amazon. First world problems I know

I was mistaken, I can get jacks on Amazon, or at least the part A and B.

Start off with a reduced solution - say 70-80% - if you’re worried about a burn.

Jack’s 321 (A, B, epsom) works out to pennies per feed.
