Who uses it and which kind, do you use nutrients and if so in what stages I only give them bloom myself but others say they got nutrients so don't give them anymore just curious what you do

Depends upon pot size. If forced to use anything under 3 gallon then I'll add some liquid nutes but if I can use a 5 or 6 gallon, then maybe just a bloom booster if anything.

I use Happy Frog for indoor growing. I found that Oceans Forest has too much N for indoors unless you cut it with something like Roots Organic Cocoa. Then it works well, but so does Happy Frog, and it saves me the time of mixing up multiple mediums.
For nutes, I use parts of the General Organic line, and have had good success with them.

I've used both Ocean Forest and Happy Frog. I do like HF more than OF if I have to pick just one, but I like to mix both at a 70/30% respectively. I was also using their nutrient line but have recently switched to Dyna-Gro and like their line much, much better. That said, I still like Big Bloom and Kelp Me, Kelp You and so do my girls.

I can't speak for all of their products, but I personally did not like Ocean forest. Ocean forest had a big following many years ago, but if you do your research sometime around 2011 their original extraction site for the ingredients ran dry, and they had to look elsewhere. Since then they've had a lot of issues. Ph problems, bug problems, filler problems. A lot of quality control issues in general. I used ocean forest once and wasn't a big fan. Its way too strong for small plants, and it has a good amount of filler.

If you absolutely felt the need to use it, I would use it at the flowering transplant (if you transplant for switching to flower) but I would avoid it all together. If you like a charged soil go with roots organics. Personally im really enjoying a peat moss / coco mix that is more or less inert. So far my girls enjoy the inert more because you have control over the regiment.

when you use a charged soil on small plants your basically tossing them into a lot of nutrients and saying "good luck"

I've started countless seeds in OF and never had an issue, Papa Canna. In fact, I've never had the need for nutes until switching into flower (I enrich using CO2).

I've used Roots and like Happy Frog better, which is cheaper for a bigger bag where I live.

LOL @ feeding plants soda.

Maybe shoot them up with some coffee to make a stronger sativa.

FFOF is a perfectly fine soil to use. I mix it 50/50 with coarse perlite and then I fill my raised bed gardens with the mix after I harvest. Personally, I always go to it over other soils. I like happy frog also but as far as quality goes, a shitty framer will build a shitty house even if he has all the newest tools. The grower makes shitty bud, not the soil.

Also: feeding soda to plants ...why?
