Both of those Fox farms products are legit for ease of use and growing overall. Personally ive never used the Happy frog, just never seen the need, i just went straight into the Ocean forrest. Some will say its too HOT and recommend either using HF or mixing the 2 together. I have a few friends tho that love the HF and use it for all new seedlings( it has a much softer mix than the FFOF), when they repot they will move the adolescent plants into the Ocean forrest for the remainder of the grow.

I cant speak to the other stuff you have their, no experience with those at all.

what about the fertilizer im confused if i need to add it to the soil or if i mix in the cattle compost as a fertilizer in to whatever soil i use im not sure cause i was told to add the cattle compost manure to the soil as a fertilizer then was told not to so i went out to get a diff soil and got this blackgold mix #4 witch is super light and airie then found out its got those slow release fertilizer ball things witch i red is not good so idk what to add to it or even if i need to add anything to it so then i went out and got the foxfarms happy frog and the other one i mean like ive already got 4 plants in the blackgold soil and they are looking good just dont know if i need to add anything to that like the fertilizer and i got 4 autos that need potting so this is why im confused on what soil to use and if so not sure if i need to add anything else to it like liquid fertilizer or the cattle manure for nutes i use the pure blend pro veg and i got bloom and the calmag p.s my head hurts lol and its also my first grow

FFOF has enough nutrients in the soil to carry plants for 35-40 days, they will only require straight water. After the plants use up the nutes in the soil i would just buy nutes to feed them throughout flower.

I cant help you on the compost , not my area of expertise at all.
 
ive already got nutes i got the pure blend pro and the pro blend bloom and the pro blend calmag so should i make a mix of a bit of each or just use the FFOF on its own with nutes when it needs them

Me personally, i would just use the FFOF as ive done before.

Many others use the HF first or just mix both, i really dont think you can go wrong either way.

The safest route might be the HF----FFOF after repot, if your newer and want to be careful.
 
okay but im not repotting the autos they are going in too a 10 gallon root pouch pot so should i make a mix of the HF and the FFOF or just use the FFOF

ya no repoting autos for sure, just go with the FFOF and call it a day imo
 
okay heres a pic of the autos the first one is the 4 autos and the other pic is 4 females in the blackgold soil not sure if i should repot them or leave them they look like they are doing good but im not sure how i would even go about repotting the 2 that are 3 weeks big the other 2 are small enough i think i can repot them with out an issue just not sure if i even should or not
