Is Fox Farm Ocean Forest Really Too Strong For Seedlings?

[sneakerhead702]

Cuz I'm hearing a lot of different answeres so I just want to kno straight up because I have FFOF and if its too strong for my seeds imma get a new soil....so let me kno thanks

I never had any issues with FFOF and seedlings.
If worried. use 50% FFOF and 50% FF Light Warrior, for the first 2 weeks, that's a great starter mix, then go into FFOF by itself.

ffof is not hot-some seeds are jus too weak

I'm 7 for 7 with dropping my seeds straight into FFOF... It's all preference, whatever works for you

 

[NateXtreme]

I use it and never had a problem.

 

[InThEwOoDs]

No problems over here.

The people who have issues with FF and seedlings probably dont realize how loaded it is with nutes and end up adding some of their own nutes.

FF + water is absolutely fine. Anyone who says otherwise probably fucked it up themselves and blame the soil.

ffof is the same as mg, it has nutrients already added. as long as you use straight water for the first 3 or 4 weeks your plants will love it. start feeding your girls when you start seeing them dull/yellow in color.

One of my seedlings got a bit burned by using OF, but the other loved it. So next time around Ill use 40%OF 40%HF and 20% perlite for 2-3 weeks until I transplant into pure OF.

agreed, kinda. OF is of course hot, meaning it has ferts added to it, but its not THAT hot imo. i am now 3 for 3 with my Nirvana BlackJacks, not a problem yet.

i slightly agree. OF and MG are both hot, true. But OF is just a plain better soil. pH variances, bugs, and consistency were all issues i ran into with MG before i found OF. Many of these problems disappeared right after the switch, and i haven't changed much in my routine.

You will be ok just dont feed nuts right away fox farm is very good stuff so nuts you dont need for at least 2 to 3 weeks.
