Hi all. I am new to soil and organics. This is what i've put together. Can you lovely people please give me feedback?
1 bag FF Ocean Forest (1.5 cubic ft) Added perlite to 35%.
1/4 bag FF Light Warrior (0.25 cubic ft)
4 cups EWC
1 cup dolomite lime
1/2 cup Azomite
Are these ratios ok? More of anything? Anything to add, like extra bone meal or kelp meal being as i'm not sure of the quantities in FFOF? Looking at the NPK with FFOF, it seems to be high in N but a bit light on P and K. Would it see me through flower without any deficencies? I was planning on keeping them in Light Warrior as long as possible in 1 gal smart pots and supplementing with Floralicious Plus and teas before putting them in the Ocean Forest that way it would see me through the flowering transition and the initial high N intake at least.
I was planning on watering with equal parts of dechlorinated tap water and RO water that would come out at about 100ppm and ph 7. Or are my minerals and elements, especially Calcium, covered enough with the dolomite and azomite to be able to feed straight RO? Every other watering with Floralicious Plus (I have a ton that is going unused) and basic EWC tea.

To be honest, i'm a bit disappointed I started my own mix before I saw the kisorganics nutrient pack. That stuff looks spot on.
Any guidance from you guys would be great!
 
love the work ...but way to much ...............i did something like u for my first grow it was way off just go with one bag of something fill the pot they got the rep for a reason do not mess with it

jiffy green house plug .........into a pot of fox farms ocean forrest

realy that simple the ffof will be hot meaning the plant will be a dark green no need to feed it for atleast a month just plain old 6.5 phed water

soil best ph is 6.5
jiffy plug soak it all up .....squeeze it a few times so not full of water ...take a toothpick make a hole about 1/2 inch in put the seed in (important the fat part goes down and pointy part goes up ) cover it .......take the plug put it in the middle of the planter.....add one cup of water around the pug to get soil wet go away come back in 4 days u have a spourt

what ever water u use make sure it has been cleaned of chemicals ...........trick i know is to take a gallon jug fill it up and put lid on place it outside in sun for 3 days it will highly oxygenatate the water good for the plants and orgaincs feeds
 
Thanks for the reply man!

I'm sorry, I should have stated that I already germed in rapid rooters and they are in Light Warrior right now under a T5 about to go under LED. I read that FFOF may be too hot, so I went with light warrior being as I had some to mix in with the OF. Had a 5gal jug of tap water bubbling with an airstone for 24hrs now too.

Thanks for the info though. I've had 100% germ rate success with rapid rooters for anyone looking for nearly fool proof germination.
 
all good man .........glad u got the game plan down and rolling with it ...........yah ffof is little hot i got some dark green leaves on my autos but i love the stuff compared to the soil i made this stuff is a god 17 days and i got branches


good luck on the grow man keep notes for later
