I have a specific question regarding the FF feeding schedule. At the beginning of the schedule I received from them, there is a column titled “Seedlings & Cuttings” before Week 1, and after putting more thought into this on my latest grow, I find it confusing.
Plants are seedlings for weeks… sometimes even a month. But the column literally says like “this is the column for when your plants are seedlings & cuttings”. I always used to read it as “this is the first week of your plants life after sprouting” but fr that’s not what that column shows. So I guess my question is, should that column only be used one time during the first week of your plants sprouted life? And then move onto Week 1 (which would really be like Week 3 for your plant considering 1 week germinating), or do you use that column the entire life of the seedling stage, and Week 1 is started at Week 1 of veg? This would make a lot more sense to me considering how the columns are lined up with the multiple flushes. It’s like Weeks 1-4 are veg, Weeks 5-7 pre flower, Weeks 8-10 Flower, Weeks 11-12 Final Flower/Harvest. At least that’s how it looks. Which that actually works for me considering I’m currently growing auto flowers. But I’m really confused how this schedule is supposed to work for anyone growing photoperiods that could take anywhere from 6-8 months to grow… shoot you spend 8-9 weeks alone in flower. How does this make sense? Is this schedule for autoflowers?
And last but not least, to throw the final wrench in things and really confuse people… what the hell is this?
So now the verbiage has changed from “seedlings & cuttings” to “SEEDS & cuttings” on some of their schedules?? I didn’t know the two were interchangeable what the actual f is going on. If THIS feeding schedule is “correct”, then that means this column is to be used for the first week, then move on to the rest of the schedule. But if this is just poorly translated English, then now I’m really confused, because seeds and seedlings are two completely different things.
Any thoughts/opinions/experience with interpreting this thing would be beneficial.
For humidity and feeding purposes, yes. That said, for feeding purposes, it really depends a lot on the medium you are planted in. I use Fox Farm Ocean Forest, and Happy Frog. I generally don’t feed until they have been in the dirt a full 3 weeks (so during week 4 in the soil).
Ok so i have used ff nutrients for indoor grows and to be honest just wing it did follow their schedule to the t …but this is my first outdoor run and i was gonna put the in the ground but decided to jeep them potted . So its hard to wing it now do to all the rain can some one help me wing it because i really dont want to over water …
U anit going to over water them outside after heavy rain just let dry out and then water right now my outside grow in 10 gallon fabric pots are getting 3 gallons of water a day
Yeah one gallon would be a good start and if seems to dry out to fast increases as you go i top dress so is why i only feed with 2 gallons so don’t wash all nutes out.
What do you topdress with/for? Is it to maintain PH levels? I’ve been considering using lime because my runoff is always 5 going in at 6.5 and I don’t get it. Using HF soil and my plant seems 100% healthy. Also, do people really use more than 2 gallons on one plant? Why would anyone do that even in a 5 gallon pot, that seems like an insane amount of water, right? Is it not? And does topdressing have a direct effect on how much you water/why? Thanks
I use these two dry nutes and scratch in the soil so don’t want to flood plant and washout all my nutes. I ph my water at 6.8 plants seem to feed better and i don’t even check runoff numbers on outside grow
@Kingdom_Living what soil are you using and what ph meter also have you checked the calibration on it 5 seems awful low also alot of people use dolomite lime
what the actual f is going on. If THIS feeding schedule is “correct”, then that means this column is to be used for the first week, then move on to the rest of the schedule.
