floranova bloom during flower range would be 7 to 9 mls per gallon
you shouldn't need calmag at all whats so ever


during veg full strength per gallon
floranova grow
6mls per gallon
3mls calmag
1/8 tsp Epsom salt

you got great fertilizer not sure why you cut corners on the soil

you shouldn't fertilize every time
you should;

water only...water only....fertilize.....repeat (fertilize every third)

if they still look hungry fertilize more frequently, for example;

water only..... fertilize.... water only....fertilize (fertilize every other)

make sure when you fertilize/water your getting 20+% run off
so if you water in 1 gallon you should get 3to 4 cups from the bottom of the pot

during veg you shouldn't need to fertilize often when using a quality soil maybe only a couple times max provided you up-pot properly

consider buying foxfarm ocean forest next grow

Very well put. I was fortunate enough to have someone experienced in growing teach me about how less nutes do more. More nutes can create less. Ecspecially with a good quality soil medium. They won't need much more than bring fed once a week AT MOST!

So if your runoff is getting pulled down to 5.5. There your probably sitting somewhere near 4.0 in the soil . I'm not super knowledgeable when it comes to figuring at ph exactly. But i would try finding some info somewhere on ways to raise ph in soil. I know thete are top dressings for your soil that can help.

This is my first grow and I grabbed the first soil I could find other than miracle grow. There are no grow shops near by so I'm gonna have to order some soil. I was thinking roots organic?

Soil is a massive factor. I recommend the famously used fox farm ocean Forest. I've had great turn out with it.

All of the info I have been getting is from a well known member on here so I thought I couldn't go wrong with listening to them

I've heard hood and bad things about ocean forest. Do you get nats from the bag?

I never had a serious issue with them. Id see a few occasionally but I'd be sure to water properly and I used botanical insect repellent. Watering too much can increase risk of getting fungus and gnats greatly.

I would reccomend fox farms ocean forest.. it's great shit. Has a very good mix of different soil amendments . You need absolutely nothing other than straight water for first 3 or 4 weeks. Then after that you can still go about 50% on nutes and will do just fine. I love it! Plants love it! Here's my outdoor girl in 15 gallon pot of fox farms OF with extra worm castings and lots o perlite!. Also ? If your ordering soil id also add a bag of perlite to ur order. It's fucking cheap and allows better drainage which in turn allows you to water more often giving the roots plenty of oxygen. Think about it. Poorly drained medium that can only be watered once a week only gets fresh oxygen to the roots once a week....vs getting to water twice or even 3 times a week. I water this outdoor sunset sherbet every other day. If it's reallt hot I water every day. These other pics are my indoor girls almost done with week 4 of flower20170830_162232.jpg 20170827_220442.jpg 20170827_220549.jpg 20170827_220452.jpg er

Do you have multiple plants in one container?

make sure you don't start seeds or clones in FFOF as it might be too hot for seedlings or sprouts

start them in something that's specific for seed starting and then pot them into the FfOF
