Starting White Widow auto flower and am going to be growing in Happy Frog soil. I’ve read that Happy Frog soil does not need additional nutrients until flowering. I bought Bergman’s plant food and am wondering if I just ignore the first two stages and only use the Flowering fertilizer at the appropriate time. Thanks in advance.

Happy frog is great to start in. I would wait a minimum of three weeks or untill the cotyledons turn yellow. Good luck

Happy Frog is good as said for 3 to 4 weeks if your growing autos you would then go to flower nutes if photos stick with veg nutes until about a week after flip

I started gorilla glue auto in happy frog then transplanted into ocean forest. Ocean forest has more nutrients, too much for seedlings. I also used fox farm fertilizers a month after sprouting and all my plants seem to like their stuff.

Thanks for the replies! I’m seriously looking forward to a successful grow. I’ll skip the nutrients until flowering begins.

It wouldn’t hurt to add CalMag after the first couple weeks to stay ahead of it.
