Wondering if ocean Forrest would be harmfully for seedlings at all? Is it reall unnessasary? If so how long before you should transplant into the ffof from regular dirt?

Ok I notice a couple stopped growing but idk why. One one I know said ffof could burn em but since it's organic I didnt really believe that.

My seedlings are from seeds not clone

It's really not necessary..but it shouldn't burn it..nitrogen burn..little sugar & Ph the water and rinse through pot...I really like fox farm but I mix it on the lowest of the range given. Still think it's the best I've ever used!! Good luck brother, Use mycorrizae when ever you transplant Enjoy the grow and keep smiling!.

I had two of my seedling not take to it well. 1 just plain grew retarted,,,lol The other stunted growth for about 2 weeks. The retarded one was tossed and the other finally started to grow. My next medium will have 70-30 mix. 30% being some potting soil with very little nutes in it, if any at all.

Light Warrior is for seedlings and Ocean Forest is for transplanting and established plants. You might be able to Mickey Mouse your way through it, but its usually easier to do it right the first time by using products as their intended. Most of the strains of cannabis that I've grown can go three to four weeks in a one gallon container of light warrior

Well I guess I can't post a pic. Sorry. But a couple are going on the third set of leafs and most are going on there second and it's been about 2weeks from seed.

I grow all my seedlings in ffof. I cut it half chunky perlite and half ffof. usually the first set of leafs (not cotyledon) will burn a bit on the tips but after that they take off fast like six nodes in 4 weeks. Make sure you don't add nutes cause the ffof is strong enough for seedlings. Ffof will hold moisture well so dont over-water and stunt growth either. What kind of light are you using?

I've always used Ffof for seeds, seedlings, and clones, rooted or not and never ever had any problem. Should check ph of water and possibly the tds/ec of the water a's well. And when I say never I mean NEVER had a problem. I know it's my personal opinion but Ffof is absolutely perfect for all stages of growth. Never had a better experience with dirt than fox farm. Good luck

Light is t5 8 bulbs 400 wats I think. I had the light half strength now it's full. Most of the leafs on my seedlings
look a bit droopy like I'm over watering. Idk I or them in one gallon pots, how often should I water aprox? And how much water?

Seeds carry their own nutrients and don't require fert for a while. Start with Light Warrior and move into Ocean Forest or for a less hot soil use Happy Frog Potting Soil or equivilent. Depends on your strain. For instance, the particular strain I'm using doesn't require any extra fert for about the first five weeks. I'm generallizing but that's the gist of it.
