Ive been using happy frog for years and have been very happy with the results. A few strains have found it hot but overall it's been great.
I usually cut in appx 25-30% canna coco, although lately I've only been doing it for the top 3rd of the pot.
Never tried ocean forest, but I'm sure someone here has experience with it!
Happy growing!!

as the autos are in for such a short time 60 days average
I advise to shoot for the FFOF along with 25% perlite
little feeding is required ..if any
and FFOF with added perlite does you well for a 2nd grow
with little amending
10 liters or 2.5 usg is all required
that works out to be about 1 litre per week or 1.5 pints of soil at most
good luck

I've grown plenty of autos in Ffof, it won't take your plant to harvest. It will feed it pretty well up until flower, after that your are going to have to fertilize.

wait
the trio is only part of a system .......if u get that things can come up and u will not have what u need on hand
the fox farms system
https://www.amazon.com/FoxFarm-Dirty-Dozen-Starter-Kit/dp/B00KC8HWTM
this is the full kit everything u need to fallow the plan ....it can do a few plants for u
(this is mostly a chemical based feed system so u do need to flush the plant plan for this )

I have some of the kind soil myself, nervous about using it on an auto. Thinking about using on some amnesia kush (photo) because it requires heavy feeding. Do you have any pics of your auto?.
If I don't fly imma die anyway
No need to be nervous about kind soil with autos. .for my second grow I chose jock horror autos in 3 gal containers and after 5 weeks they are doing great. .sorry but pics were deleted

So you are doing full organics, do you have any ph issues. Also will you be able to reuse the soil again on next grow with amendments?

I was talking about organic amendments like blood meal, crab shells and things on that line. I have the soil, just contemplating if I want to get more or just go with happy frog and add top dressing if needed. Only want to do organic on my next four runs. Need to decide real soon. Have a few autos and need to get them done before I get started on my photo plants.
