Oh I’m not familiar. I ask because some soils come pre-charged with nutrients and you won’t need to start feeding right away. I use Fox Farm soil and it feeds about 3-4 weeks. Before putting a plant in I run ph water through it and test the runoff water to get the ppms. Then as the plant gets older I will test her ppms at runoff to know when to start feeding. ---

When your TDS shows up run straight water PH at 6.5 through the medium to test the run off PPMs. I would start light with the FF Trio if the soil numbers are 800 or less. I generally maintain 800-1200 PPMs when I was using soil. 🤟 ---
