@Cabs are you using HF the whole grow ,If so FFtrio is fine with some cal-mag. If you are planing to switch to FFOF for soil. it’s not the best route ---

Using happy frog and that trio of nutes, is perfect for a new grower. It’s what I use, I’d show off my work, but it’s your thread. ---

you don’t have to feed Ocean forest for four weeks ,more of a organic living soil ,liquid nutrients is bad for it ---

Happy Frog won’t keep your plants fed for 4-6 weeks, that’s Ocean Forest. In HF I start feeding at 2-3 weeks. ---

They are similar but Ocean Forest has a lot more nutrients in it that keeps feeding your plants for a lot longer, stuff like fish meal, shrimp meal, crab meal, and kelp meal, hence the Ocean part of the name. ---
