I have been watering them with 1/2 the recommended dosage. I sure don't wanna burn my babies! Also on the transplanting issue...
I was thinking of doing it the next time the soil is try which should be a few days (Sunday I am thinking). Do you think this is a good time to change them?
Also I have read with FoxFarm Ocean Forest that I should just water with straight water for a few days after transplanting to avoid nute burn from the nutes already in the soil is this True?
You won't need any nutes until you start flowering if you're using FFOF. You'll risk burning your plants and slowing progress. That's why the FFOF is 18 bucks a bag, so you don't have to spend the money on nutrients. Don't mix it, you're wasting your money and causing yourself more work. You could use Pro Mix instead, and get more soil for the money and have complete control over your nutrients. I look at FFOF as the soil with training wheels, since you don't have to do anything but water it, but you have no control over the nutrients being released. However, Fox Farms has it pretty much down to a gnats hiney with their mix. It's really easy to use, just don't germinate with it, it's too hot. With Pro Mix you're pedaling on your own. It's has little inherent nutrients, and you control how much nutrient you use. It's cheaper too, but also more dangerous if you're prone to over-tending your plants, or just new at it. Never go by the labels on nutrients. They want to sell more nutrients, so they tell you to use this massive dose every other watering. Some plants in a CO2 environment could handle it, but most will become over-nuted and either die or cause a major slow down, or go hermie on you. Start with about 1/4 strength, because you can always increase it the next time. As for using Sweet and Microbe Brew, quit wasting your money. Use non-sulfered, light flavored black strap molasses (Brer Rabbit brand is about 2.40 a pint), 2 teaspoons per gallon of water instead, every other feeding. Molasses feeds the microbes in the soil which allows them to more efficiently transfer nutrients to the plants. Sweet is just corn syrup, which does nothing but feed the bottom line of the nutrient company.
Those girlz are looking FYAH!
Good going.
