Also, be careful with the ocean forest soil. It is sometimes too hot for seedlings under a couple weeks, but older plants love it. Make sure to start off in soil that has no nutrients, like seed starting mix, for at least the first 2 weeks, then transplant to the ocean forest(it says that on the bag if you look, that is is used for transplanting). I burned up a whole batch of exceptionally sensitive seedlings starting them straight in ocean forest.

As for when to start feeding, your plants will tell you. You can get away with not feeding for probably most of their lives during veg if you are using ocean forest, it is a very good soil and has a lot of nutes in it. I'd definitely recommend not feeding for at least 2 weeks after transplanting into it to let the plants use of some of the nutrients already available in the soil. I also mix some extra perlite into the ocean forest soil, but thats just personal preference. I use a 4:1 soil to perlite ratio while mixing it up, just for extra drainage and what not.

Hey bro, thanks to you and all for the advice! I will buy some Grow Big and use your advice and wait atleast a couple weeks before I will start to use that, and the Big Bloom. Damn I should have mixed perlite into my mix, I was planning on it but it slipped my mind, am I'm a newbie grower here. Too late for that, but I am thankful to learn. Thanks for that Chart picture.

I hear you about the soil being too nute filled for seedlings, I figured that out about 2 weeks after that I should have used starter potting soil instead of the ocean forest, luckily I think/hope my babies are going to live through it, but ugh was I upset I made that mistake! I hope they make it

I very much like your grow and low stress straining, I hope to get to that point so I can do the same! Nice peppers too lol

Thx again
