Transplant into FFOF @ 2 weeks. Mix in 1 1/2 cups powdered dolomite lime per bag of soil to avoid problems down the road.

Good luck!!!

No, not right away. Depending on how much you use at what stage, FFOF can last for the entire veg period. That's why the only nutrient I recommend to new growers is Tiger Bloom. (+lime), starting out at 1 tsp per gal per week, reaching 1 1/2 tsp per gal halfway through flower. Easy-Breezy fat budz.

I think you should probably wait a week or so untill you introduce nutes. The soil already has organic stuff in it. I just did my transplant into FFoF last night (at exactly two weeks) and they seem extremely happy. The seedling mix i had them in was generic miracle grow seedling mix yet for some reason it still had too many nutes in it. The first set of real bottom leaves on two of my plants dont look so pretty.

if you water heavily, with lots of runoff, every time, you should have no problems with soil to hot. If they get too dry the roots will get singed from the higher concentration of nutrients and slow down growth.
