Definitely don’t use a water softener, it adds salts the plants can’t use, and removes some of what the plants need@Budzbuddha , Nice post ! I'm wondering about using Tap instead of RO I'm going to get a outdoor grow going first grow outdoor this year and was wondering about being on a water softener should I stick to PHed RO isntead ? I have only ever used RO in my hydro grows never tried the softened water .
ok ok thank you I was thinking about cutting it in half with RO but wasn’t sure if it was a bad idea lol I think I will just keep doing what I’m doing thanks man!Definitely don’t use a water softener, it adds salts the plants can’t use, and removes some of what the plants need
In version one top half happy frog bottom ocean forest should I add dr earth flower girl or dr earth homegrown tomato and herb at the layer separation and how much to add at that separation I also have great white mycoOK ... late night and wanted to get this up .
Tip : Use similar peat based soil with FFOF when layering. Many problems occur with those using coco mixes ( example 70/30 ratio ).
Seen too many grows run into ph drift fluctuations since coco needs one way and soil another. Keep the base soil the same .
Here is a version for solo cup grows / seedling starts ( plug transplant ) .....
Regular red solo either alone or as an outer shell with clear solo cup inside ( in case you like seeing the roots grow ).
I used these on some cup comps but be aware that most cup contests here on RIU seem a bit like kindergarten with some growers.
I was floored by the Overthinking and EXCESS bottle feeds for a Stupid Cup ! You can get some decent cup grows from this layering
method.

Version 1
View attachment 4420084
Pretty self explanatory.... this a dry fert enhanced mix . You can use Megacrop / Dr.Earth life 5/5/5 / Gaia green / Flower Girl or myco inoculant .
1 tablespoon ( 1-3 gallon pot ) -
2 - 3 tablespoon for 5 gallon
This will feed for quite awhile and will be perfect for auto grows ( 90 days )
Top dress FFOF as needed later in grow ( optional )
Version 2
This an all FFOF BASE except of ( light seedling mix core ) with rooting powder or myco at bottom. Perfect for straight to seed planting / clone / rooter plug , etc.
Emerging seedling has a mild “ sandbox “ to start grow then allow acclimation before FFOF .
Less shock to young seedlings instead of right into FFOF alone . Plant containers can be plastic , fabric , airpots , bags or whatever.

Hope this helps .... goodnight.
I mix the myco and fertilizer at that layer then top fill . For a gallon ( test size I used )In version one top half happy frog bottom ocean forest should I add dr earth flower girl or dr earth homegrown tomato and herb at the layer separation and how much to add at that separation I also have great white myco
And which fertilizer would be best on that layer mix, flower girl(3-9-4) or homegrown(4-6-3)?I mix the myco and fertilizer at that layer then top fill . For a gallon ( test size I used )
I added a scoop myco .... which by the way can be any brand .... DYNOMYCO , Great White , Extreme MYKOS , etc.
Just wanna start by giving a huge thanks this thread has been really helpful people are so stingy with info when it comes to growing!Running the new ( ish ) version ....
Stored 5 gallon lidded buckets
BASE FFOF :
Hand mixed
Added perlite
Added myco
Added EWC
Used at bottom 1/3 of container ...
TOP FILL :
Hand mixed
EB Stone recipe 420
Added Perlite
1 - 2 tablespoons of Dry fert - your choice
( Dr. Earth Life , Megacrop , Flower Girl , vigoro tomato or similar )
1:5 dilute of brewers yeast ( activated ) water
( spray bottle )
You can use a number of top soil alternatives as many good bagged have a MYCO base already.
Read the label of your choice soil ——-
First i hand mix these ingredients of the top soil then mist mix with yeast water spray. Close lid and store for a few days .
GOTHAM LIMITED
( trainwreck x 79 xmas bud )
These are the first to run on this “ version “ . The only real difference other than soil version is that i will “ feed “ plant ( when needed later ) by way of a tablespoon (s) ( and container size ) of dry fert instead of soil top dress. But will only be water only as usual.

So far they are extremely happy and moving along nicely .... that solo ( 2 ) are KKP from that seed run i made and are on original mix ( but will be transplanted after more growth ) Curious on comparing grow pics of both mixes.
I've been running autos with FFOF/FFHF and Down To Earth Fertilizers. I'm still trying to find the right mixture for Down To Earth ferts top dressing but I'm definitely enjoying the range of ferts they have.Okay that’s good to know I’m going to go with either Dr. Earth or Down to earth (Gaia Green is too expensive) So would you recommend strictly all purpose fertilizer for veg ONLY and then bloom fertilizer for Flower ONLY.... Or should I be mixing both in some type of 70/30 ratio for veg then 30/70 for flower(Mr Canucks) ?
Update :
I started 4 solos with those bagged KKP and took a pic on Oct. 24 .
Today they are looking pretty good .... minus one KKP that I am using in the Selfing seed thread I got going. But they are happy and growing out well on this Nov. 11.
They are the ones down the middle .... 2 strawberry diesel and 1 KKP.

Peace ... I really enjoyed this post very informative, I do have a question about what you said “until sex then a CS bath to lower nodes with top cola for inpregnating once that begins flower . Seeds ain’t cheap ..... lol” I’ve only sprayed one plant with CS and put it in with my females never heard of spraying lower branch’s and leaving top cola alone interesting
