Feeding

Okay so i REALLY stress on feeding and soil for my plants. I REALLY WANT A STEP BY STEP THING. Fox farms produces that step by step thing. They have a feeding schedule that goes hand and hand with their soil. I honestly think from a lot of people telling me that its over feeding my plants. Ill link the schedule at the bottom. as you can see it starts when you put the fucking seed in the soil...that seems pretty fucking intense. especially when fox farms ocean forest already has nutes in it. So i wrote them an email and asked about it and this is what they said

We use all the nutrients as recommended on the Feeding Schedule in our Research and Development Greenhouses in both Ocean Forest and Happy Frog Potting Soils with great results! If you have a particularly light feeding variety of plant, you may want to reduce the dosages by 25-50%, but otherwise, most vigorously growing annual plants will be very happy when fed all the nutrients according to the Feeding Schedule. Our potting soils work great with these nutrients, as they are formulated to work together. I have personally used FoxFarm soils and had great results, so I would absolutely recommend them! However, you may also choose to use a soilless medium or rockwool. If you use a soilless medium, simply follow our Soil Feeding Schedule the same as you would when growing in soil.

So should i follow the schedule but just lower the dosage and if i do lower by how much? ALSO! very important for me to know! this might be a complete dumbass question but...do you mix all the nutes it says to in one gallon of water? Or do you make a gallon of water for each different type of nutrient? thanks for all the help in advance.

You mix them together, creating one solution, and apply. I don't have a step by step for you. That's kind of your job and part of the learning process. I myself grow organically so it's a little easier. None of this weekly feeding crap.

Since you have all FF products, my best advice is for you to follow their recommendations while using your best judgement. If the plants aren't reacting like you expect, assume it's over feeding at first, and watch the new growth carefully. If in doubt, test your soil using a Soil Test Kit. It won't give you PPM numbers, but it will tell you if your in the ball park of what's normal for most plants (e.g NPK is low, medium, or high) and then you can trouble shoot from there.
