DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, put any fuckin' nutes on those plants for at LEAST 40 days....I ain't Moses, but that FFOF has enough nutes to feed the masses for 40 days and 40 nights. When your plants start asking for fishes and loaves, you'll know it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol ^^^ it aint quite that bad but yes the plant will be fine for a little bit in that soil without nutes for a bit. wait till you plants start turning light green before you start using the ferts which will be after a month or so. and yes i feed my plants with fox farm and use fox farm soil as well. works great for me! good luck! and maybe save up for a cheap HID light set up for even better results. you can get a 400 watt with MH and HPS bulbs, reflector, hangers, etc. for like $120 on amazon or ebay.

If you start in a small pot and only upgrade when needed adding new FFOF every time you can go about 40-60 days without needing nutes. And T5 will do good for you. Buds won't be as tight but still good. Don't over water. Water only when dry. For me that's about every 3-4 days. Also when you do start nutes it's water water feed water water feed. And have a small fan blowing in your area and on the plants.

You may want to mix some perlite into your soil also, I've used FFOF for a while now and it tends to get pretty compact as time goes on. Also I wouldn't worry too much about burning your plants, I pop seedlings in the stuff weekly with no problems. A little common sense goes a long way with growing.

ya good point^^^ i sprout my seeds in it without issues so it cant have that much nutes already in it. but i know they can go for a month or more without needing more like said before. and i always add more perlite to pretty much any mixture. see a lot of people growing in half soil and half perlite.

I can usually find it at various hydro shops from around $12-20 a bag for 1.5 cubic ft. To be honest I'm not a big fan of their liquid nutes but I love FFOF soil.
