No I was just asking "can" I use nutes with happy frog before you could with fFOF. So I was just asking, but I just did a 50/50 mix and everything has been fine. I haven't used anything until day 40 or close to it. One plant has started giving me problems and I top dressed with FFOF like people said to. But I think the CalMag I used 2 weeks prior which I only used 5ML to a gallon of water and I think it locked out my P K. Not sure thoigh but one plant is doing fine and thr other has some shit with her. And I don't get the buds are stacking.nice but I can separate thrm like the buds are airy and I have lots.of light in my 2x4. So maybe just strain related to the airy buds?View attachment 5071311View attachment 5071312

Ya, too much Ca locks other shit out. People overdo the CalMag.

Yah and I use tap water, so was told CaMag is not needed. So I only used it 1 damn time and it fucked this plant. And this is her now EDUT: the bud growth seems slow to me and airy. But hopefully she will turn out good and harden up.20220121_070702.jpg

Sounds like mine. Probably lots of Ca already.

Ok, well I know now because my last grow I used clean rain water and I needed to add thr Calmag, but was told rainwater can get acidic fast. So I just started using my tap and continued woth thr CalMag on this grow. But I dropped thr CalMag and just have been using water straight out my tap. Should I PH my tap or just use it as is? Like 7.5ish

If you're doing organics, usually there's no need to adjust the pH.

People misinterpret hot soil vs HOT soil. I get what you're saying, but hot vs cold is really the way to describe the differences between FFOF and FFHF.

When people talk about cooking soil they aren't talking about actually cooking it, it's letting the microbes and shit break down the stuff and some shit breaks down fast if you have a healthy microherd creating a crazy amount of heat.

Sorry for getting logical, lol.

i agree maybe I misunderstood op not sure where cooking soil is coming from lol it’s early. He simply asked if he could add nutes to hf which of course you can . Everyone has a different idea of seedling stage as far as how long they consider it one. Guess I couldn’t figure out why if he thought ffof was to hot for his plant why use a cooler soil too add more nutes. He could start in something like hf, then use ffof to transplant. Then he Shouldn’t need nutes for a good bit.

Yes and that's what I did started in HF and transplanted into 60/40 FFOF and HF or close to 50/50. And thr growth of plants seemed much happier than starting directly in FFOF.

I've been reusing it for over 3 years now. I started with FFOF and then added a bunch of stuff after 2-3 runs. I just top dress usually.

I did just add a little more pumice to my old soil for this upcoming round. But this is the first time I've tilled anything in over 2 years.

These are my sad plants at 55 days since flip that I was totally neglecting. Haven't top dressed them in a long time and they're kinda pissed . These pots would like more aeration too for next time, so I'll add some more stuff to these too.

The Good the Bad and the Ugly, lol. I already chopped ugly, lol.

no worries and while your at it, sift through that old FFoF get those roots out and re use it......

i would recommend in stead of using a liquid nute, get urself a bag of reg fertlizer something in a 5/5/5 range and you should be good to go...imho
