ug bro get off that FFoF already get some real dirt like roots its cheaper and honestly you will like it better probably try a bag bro i can get em for 17 bucks a 1.5 cubic foot bag about 5 bucks cheaper than FFoF. I really dislike FFoF after switching out to other brands, and trying new things, made me realize fox farms is the miracle grow of the hydro store. It works but it needs work if you know what i mean, i always added perlite. The roots i just dump in pots it fuckin leaches so fuckin business and the ingredients OMFG the best part, SO MUCH higher quality shit in it off the bat than FFOF i mean dood i had the fuckin beard on my soil when i opened my roots bag, you know what i mean the beard from all the mycos and shit in the soil thriving. NEVER seen that with any bagged soil, only seen it when i ammended soil and cooked it.

i like to mix ffof with coco and perlite. trying to reduced the peat as a soil base. too many ph problems in the long term. i find the coco and perlite allow more room for roots.

actually the coco works like a sponge and can hold up to 90% of its weight in water. i was having deficiency problems when i use pure coco. the ffof gives enough organics to help feed the rhizosphere and give the plants a less stressful transition. i am growing 4 blue cheese, two in pure coco and two in the mix. the two in the mix are far bigger and more vigorous. but getting back to the watering, the plants only seem to need more water because i think they are using more because they have a larger root mass. eventually i might get rid of the peat base all together and just mix coco perlite dolomite lime and some guano and worm castings. i always find that with ffof or any other peat based soil that the ph slowly goes down as the peat break down. i also notice that the roots dont like to really fill out in the middle of the pot, but rather they go straight to the sides and stay there rather than filling out the entire medium.

I prefer roots to ffof solely because roots is looser and more heavily amended I add 1\2 roots to my compost mix and ba
No nutes needed for the first three weeks. Although I leave the bottom 1|5 of tea an refill my Rez for vegging water so they get a Bennie kick;)

Chuck a feeble strain!! always listen to Luther burbank " breed with the best an accept no less" words to live by... I also read the majority of problems in a garden arise from trying to keep to many varieties one strain cloud spread pathogens to all quickly... Buy extrem gardening calcarb an hose them down with it looks like they would flatten out there leaves an stop that Lil bit o spotting you got from nonmobil nutes lacking...
For all those flavors they look good bro

Speaking of bs genetics about 90% of my own og f1s were junk the other 10% are sweet and seeded with f2 s ... And I cut out a whole grape ape strain from my library as it was not high in smell or taste no room for hashplants as I have hash out the wazoo...

Hey I am contemplating putting my halide in my flower room on a mover with a blackstar should I do the halide vert or hoizontal as top light?
I want to do vert but toplight seems sweet too

Too funny yeah that seals it throwning the halide on a mover vert with blackstar At the other end. The 4000 w vert mixed is batteling the 6000w horizontal room for gpw supremacy ... Time to vaape sum erl !
