I grow seedlings in FFOF soil , and never feed until week 3 . Here I is a new plant from seed in just soil only. . It will receive its first nutes ( Dyna Gro ) @ 1/2 strength during week 3.
I have learned by allowing plant grow without added nutes I will be able to see if my soil choice can hold its own without adding anything. If my soil choice had deficiencies then plant would show it.
Many growers use their soil of choice but FFOF has all a plant needs in the beginning stages BEFORE starting a nute regiment.
For me there is no burn or problems up to this point. Now that plant is healthy at start , I can now see what happens once nutes are introduced. Start with 1/4 or 1/2 strength .
This little girl is 20 days old on just her soil and water.
