Is FFOF soil too hot for (veg) dry amendments?

[HickRoss]

I'm going with Earth Dust dry amendments and it has a base for veg, i was wondering if if Fox Farm soil would be too hot in the beginning, if so I'll just go with Pro Mix I guess, no extra nutes are needed with the Earth Dust,

If you go FFOF u need to wait about two weeks at least to top dress. Depends on how much your wattz are. And how big your plant is getting

I would say more than 2 weeks I say more like 4-6 of veg the soil has imo

Well the base or grow part of the Earth Dust requires u to mix it in the soil before anything goes in it the top dress with bloom one week before flower, I really wanna use the FFOF soil but I'm afraid it will be too hot cause of pre mixing it into soil for veg

I'm growing autos too

Depends when I had one plant under my 600 it was ready in 20 days. That’s why I said two weeks minimum then time for the top dress to work. I’ve never had one go even close to 4 weeks just on the soil. I’m doing a 5 gallon auto I’m hoping to get that much out of it this time!

that's just from me atleast when I used it I put in a clone and I didn't have to feed her once for 5-6 weeks just water but then after that I added ewc and some nice compost to it but, ffof imo is hot it just doesn't need food. this was a outdoors plant what strain was it that u were running because I ran a indica and it just didn't want food. idk that's my 2c many variables that can make the plant eat anyway I guess.

That method of soil infusion .... is no different than other dry fert use. It helps lesser charged mediums .

FFOF is a bit hot right from the start and needs a few weeks to start to exhaust a little. BUT If you add “ even more nutes “ in it , that will burn much easier. FFOF is pretty complete besides needing more perlite. I would wait on that nute until at least the 5th week then start light.

I really appreciate your time thanks for helpin me out!

id say OF is defiantly way to hot for starting seedlings. I actually burnt my plants slightly using happy frog. I'd try and get some light warrior. That is FF's soil dedicated for seedlings.

I’ve been running a mix pack of autos. Amnesia haze, blueberry, northern lights.

No big deal I’ve since made some changes so I’m now growing four under that light instead of one. Maybe now I will get that many weeks!

I think ima just go with Pro Mix HP, thanks for the info!

big thing for me was it was behind my shed so it would have gotten a little less light. I didnt want anyone seeing it was a short plant but was good doe.
