I use FFOF with Happy Frog and some added earthworm castings. I, like you, have to start feeding at 3-4 wks depending on strain. I use liquid fish emulsion every other or every third watering, depending on the plants needs. I also use high p guano, high n guano, molasses, cal-mag, and liquid kharma. I usually top dress with the guanos as needed, and mix the rest with the fish emulsion. I don't use my ppm meter if I'm not using hydroponics though. Just start small and work your way up. The more familiar you are with your nutes, the better your results will be.
