FFOF ( Fox Farms Ocean Forest ) made Simple - Autoflower

I've tried two dirfferent bags of FFOF (east coast here) and had nothing but problems using that soil. It was a nightmare, no leaves lived and my plants barely made it through flower. When I switched to Happy Frog, all my problems went away and my plants exploded....

Maybe I got unlucky and got too bad batches, who knows, but I'll never use it again.. Watering it smelled like a pig farm, it was horrible...I'm not alone, I've talked to a lot of growers and many say the same thing.

Nice looking plant by the way, it seems to work great for you! Best of luck
There did seem to be a problem with the factory making soil in the east, while the soil from the original factory in the west was not having the same problem. This is just my recollection from past conversations. I guess that's one of the reasons why some people hate it and some love it.

Stopped buying fresh FFOF after 2016. I re amending that soil till 2021 then I bought fresh FFOF in 2021 for a grow comp that gave us 4 months from dropping seeds to finish a 9–10-week strain so there was no time to top.
Not autos.
I'm going to move on, I don't want to overstay my welcome. :)
Happy Growing!

I have not had good luck running 24/0 on autos after 30 days. I do run my seedlings 24 hrs for 2 weeks and then shift to 20/4. Just my experience but my plants looked light burned and also they used up the nutrients alot faster without rest. Some people have good results so maybe I haven't tried the right strain.

I run my photo's that way, and had the same issues. Corrected it by dimming back the light a bit.
I only stuck with it because of how consistent i can keep temps and humidity with the 24hr of lights on.
