Ummm, I disagree with that statement. History has proven to many a failed grow that ANYTHING ( including plain ol' H2O ) should be pH'd before giving to your plants. If you chose to not pH prior to feeding, do so at your own peril. That's just my opinion and experience.
Carry on soldier !!!!

FFOF by itself is a hot product, not good for seedlings.
A good mix for future reference is 40% FFOF, 40% Happy Frog, 15% perlite and the remaining 5% a mix of dolomite lime, bone meal and earthworm castings. A good mix and no nutrients needed for 30 days.
I would still pH to 6.7. That's just my personal opinion. Tried and true.

Oh, and make sure you shake each bottle good before using each and every time.
That could be a result of the ph of your tap water or the amendments in your soil. I would recommend others to start with pHing and experiment with whatever their water, soil and nutes produce if left to their own interaction. Seems risky to me to start with the latter.
At least that they verify the unpHed solution is in the range of 6.4-6.7. If it's not, I'd urge caution.

For soil.If you mix a batch of GO nutes at recommended dosage in RO water with a pH of 7 you will end up with a nutrient solution at pH 4.8-5.2.
It works either way and of course fine tuning it to your style or environment helps. I dont pH mine unless Im adding suppliments.

That sounds very low for soil. I'd have trouble pouring that into my soil. But, I've never used it, so my opinion shouldn't matter.

That was my point, I would never in a million years feed a cannabis plant a solution in the 4.8-5.2 range. If some do and are happy, great. Me personally, no way. Just my opinion.

Nice dude. So the only thing u didnt use would have been the bio marine? That stuff smells so bad hahhaha. Well i picked up the GOBOX yesterday and fed it to my little plants in veg at 1/4 strength. I didnt adjust my ph at all and it ended up being 6.1 at 1/4 strength. My starting ph of my tap water is around 6.5 so im sure once i mix at full strength the ph will end up alot lower.

I really like the biothrive grow. It's got molasses, humic acid, and sea weed. It's a complete nutrition plus a bio catalyst for microbes in the soil all in one. There's really nothing else better on the market and the price point is fair. I didn't expect as much from general hydroponics. I dropped Sensi Grow for this stuff.
