Ok...,

So I just picked up my first ever bag of "FoxFarm." "Ocean Forest." And I have had this GH FloraNova Series since my last grow, but I used it in a hydro setup. You can use this FloraNova Series for hydro or soil cultivation.

I was basicly wondering if anyone has ever used this combo? Or know what kinda results I might obtain?


Thanx,

All I can say is that if you use them together make sure you only use half of what you usually would. Don't use a full strength solution of both. My personal opinion is to choose just one and stick with it.

It'll work fine.

The Ocean Forest is pretty hot as soils go, and dense as hell- I'd let the plants settle into it for a good month before I fed. Maybe a little hot for seedings- ya didn't mention. I'd definately cut it w/ some perlite- maybe 30-50%.

Yer gonna wanna intersperse clear waterings with feedings- maybe clear H20 every third feeding.

Run yer pH a little higher than ya did in hydro.

Don't push the EC too hard- ya gotta allow for evaporative concentration between waterings, and the floranova gets pretty stiff pretty quick.

Shout out if ya have any problems

Fa Sho, Na they aint seedlings, and I did cut with about 35-45% perelite. They are actually 7weeks old. Small but yes they are that old. I started my 12/12 light schedule on 7/2 even though they around 13" tall. I have limited head space and I already fim'ed em. There are 2 plants #1 lookd like its in hydro but its only hydroton on top of the soil. #2 Looks like a palm tree due to the fact that I had started trimming shade leafs. Stopped about 2 weeks ago. I already started bloom nutes. I used the BeastieBloomz by FoxFarm. Its rateda 0-50-30 NPK. Do you think I should use some of the TigerBloom @ 1/2 or 1/4 strength, to help stabalize the Nitrogen? Or should I stop using the BeastieBloomz and just go with the TigerBloom. TigerBloom has a 2-8-4 NPK. I really want more dense, higher yielding buds though. So if you have any suggestions on how to use these 2 together or if you think I should just use one or the other? Lemme know


Thnx,
