Using FFOF along with trio as well. Entering week 2 now and curious as to when I should begin introducing some Cal/Mag.......or........will the trio provide these nutrients throughout the grow without the addition of anything additional?
 
It depends on what you're using for for your grow medium... Pro-Mix, FFOF, FFHF...? I'm pretty sure you're gonna need some if you're using Pro-Mix and Muddy or Jackel have much more experience with Pro-Mix than I do. If you're using FFOF or FFHF, I have a pretty good bit of experience with both. I have never had to add any cal/mag when using either of these. The combination of the trio and the nutrition that is in the soil itself have provided everything I've ever needed other than I always add some molasses for a couple weeks before final flush. :peace:
 
In my experience: You shouldn't need to nute at week 2 with most auto strains. Plus your soil is already nuted. You probably won't need any nutes until week 3 +. I don't nute til about week 3 and I run just distilled water til my babies need it. Remeber that underfeeding can be fixed relatively simply, but nute burn is for life bro.
 
Using FFOF. First time with this soil. Good point about the burn. Think I'll wait till week 3 before a subtle introduction to some liquid food.
 
Also, when you do start your nutes, start at 1/4 recommended strength and increase as the grow moves forward.
 
Do you think it's beneficial to add Big Bloom with every watering as Fox Farm states on their website.....that is once you finally do begin to add nuts?
 
I don't use the Big Bloom at all... others do. FFOF has a lot of nutrition already in it. You can grow very nice plants with this sort of mix and pH'd water only.
 
When would you suggest flushing for the first time, and how much water would you run through the soil to do so? Oh also....what's you take on Bushmaster Sledgehammer flush solution? Is it all hype?
