I know that people usually say you can go about 4 weeks without feeding when using FFOF but I think it’s actually much longer than that. Typically I never tried it until now but whenever I used FFOF I always started feeding around half strength after 4 weeks and would get some kinda burn. Since then I’ve used all kinda different soil and found successes.
but now I’ve gone back to FFOF and I’ve gone about 7 weeks with no food and my plants are still plenty green with no signs of food being necessary for awhile. And this is with 50/50 FFOF and FFHF which means that it’s even less nutes Than normal. I think all I added was a little more dolomite and some EWC to my original mix and that’s all. This leads me to believe you can really get about around 3 months to maybe an entire cycle outta FFOF with just water. I know people have done water
Fries with ocean forest before but I never believed it would last this long with no feedings.
I say more growers should save their nutes and go longer without using nutes in that soil. It’s definitely HOT.
