When to start GO BOX nutes with Ocean Forest Soil?

Hi-

Just got the General Organics box. Been looking forward to it for a couple weeks.

I have 2 plants at 10 days that just sprouted their second set of leaves. I germinated them in 4 oz cups in 60/40 Ocean Forest/Perlite. Everything is looking healthy.

Normally I wouldn't do anything except for Rapid Start until week 3 or so because Ocean Forest has more than enough for seedlings. However, the GO box has some other stuff that I maybe should be using (BioRoot, BioWeed, Diamond Black). They are all low in N (BioRoot - 1, BioWeed - .0.2, Diamond Black - 0). They are for root development and soil health so I'd like to start them whenever it's safe to do so.

2 Questions:

1.) Should I be using BioWeed, BioRoot, and/or Diamond Black now or soon?
2.) When should I start the Grow and Marine (looking forward to the squiddy wave thats gonna hit my room.)

The instructions say start Everything except for Flowering nutes on week 1 but I'm thinking that's for a soil that's less hot than OF.

Thanks

If your plants are looking pale and yellow, they might need some nitrogen.

If they look green and perky, you probably don't need to feed them.

I make teas with the diamond black and bio root. Also, using lite doses of bio weed and marine. I let it brew for 24 hours then feed. Probably want to start at quarter strength then work your way up. I apply teas every 2 weeks and it really helps keep them healthy. I'd probably wait another week before feeding them teas. Good luck. This is my 5th run with the GO line and I love it. Careful with the bio marine it's some potent shit!

I am using FFOF on a few plants right now and it is good soil but really hot. I tried my normal starting dose of veg nutes at week 4 and god burn really bad. I waited about 2 weeks and then tired cutting the grow nutes down from 5ml to 1ml and that was ok so the next week I bumped it up to 3ml and got burn again. I am at about week 6-7 of veg maybe week 6 and I still can only feed 1ml of veg nutes. Used Botanicare Pro Grow BTW. I have no problems feeding camg, sweets or Bio Root Just the veg nutes. I also like the GO and GH line of nutes and the Botanicare for their Pro Grow and Pro Bloom nutes. I have a few plants in Happy Frog as well so I will see if that is as hot as FFOF, I was told by a friend that HF is a little easier on the nutes so we will see.

ffof is good for 4 weeks from seed due to hot nuts.. Dont add anything during those 4 wks except water. Anyone who waits till yellowing leaf to ad nuts. is not a good grower. Less is more and say it every time for everything but water as long as you are not overwatering. Ive used a bunch of snake oil grow and bloom nuts. causing all kind of issues. When I went to Sunleaves Seabird Guano-organic the plants stayed green till chop. just add a tablespoon of nuts top soil every 3-4 weeks from week 4 seed to chop. $15 bucks for guano. Water as normal and that is all u need. Forget all the additives that turn leaves yellow and die.
