Do you need Veg nutes with FFOF

Looking to grab Fox Farm Ocean Forest for my first in a long time grow as it comes with most of what you need to start off with. My question is, will I need extra N or veg nutes at all if Ocean Forest typically has enough organic nutes in it to last 5 or so weeks? Was just going to use CalMag every other water then maybe some Big Bloom in flower with some molasses.

Would adding extra worm castings at the beginning help boost N without require extra nutes? Just thinking if I'm going to spend a bit extra for Ocean Forest I might as well skip out buying Veg nutes if I don't need them.

Thanks!
 
They do not have enough nutrients. It might last you 4 weeks but the growth will be slow. If you want to just add water to your soil, make your own organic super soil. It takes about 4 weeks to cook the soil but the results are amazing. Only Fox farm ocean forest will grow you a plant but the buds will be fluffy and weak. If you just want to use FFOF you will need some help with the nutes to grow a good harvest. Some affordable options for veg are fish fertilizers. $5 will get you a 32 oz bottle and will last you a few grows.
 
I grow from seed to harvest in ocean forest with about 25% large perlite added.

I never need to feed in veg up to 6 weeks but I transplant up into a larger pot with new soil every 2 weeks or so.

I use pure Blend Pro Grow to finish stretch and all the way to the end after the final pot is depleted of nutes.

Would you say additional CalMag isn't needed throughout the grow or do your organic ferts that you add in the later weeks contain some? Just wondering if adding CalMag during the first 4-5 weeks and after transplant would be too much due to soil already containing some.

the comfrey and stinging nettle pretty much takes care of all the and issues,i call it medicine,use a lot of it outside,inside i use too,but the smell is like ass if you dig,it is my first go to when issue arise in the tent
