Dry Feeding schedule?

[Pinwheel97]

Have you seen the plants in flower that these people are growing? Happy Frog is the "light" version of Ocean Forrest.. It was created for people who felt Ocean Forrest was to hot for seedlings.. Coco loco is their lightly amended coco for people who want to grow in coco.. There isn't a company that makes a soil and coco mix... There's good reasons for that.. Happy Frog has perlite.. And worm castings.. At adjusted levels for the amount of soil in the bag..

Why the urge to alter a professional recipe that already has what you're planning to add? Im trying to better understand the mindset of newer growers. It's seems that it's recently shifted from asking questions first in forums to following YouTube videos or word of mouth without asking any questions first. Im curious if you were told this info up front or if you asked questions and were advised to do it this way.. (This info is for personal use to help me get better at answering questions and understand where newer growers are coming from!)

So you think I’ll be okay doing just the happy frog fertilizer with nothing else? And coming from us new growers with all the resources available, there’s so many options. You type “how to grow weed” on YouTube and you get 1000 different videos with 100 different ways and techniques, everybody says something different in one way or another. I have seen a couple of threads on here saying that they use a soil/coco mixture and it’s one of this first things that pop up when you type it into google. Again thank you for the feedback

Coco coir makes a suitable base for an organic soil along with other balanced ingredients, but if you're buying a potting mix for cannabis you can usually just use that without adding something like perlite or coco as well. It used to be that bagged soil mixes required a little added perlite, but I disagree with that idea based on what I'm seeing in nurseries these days. It's usually pretty good just right out of the bag.

Seed starting mix is a good idea, but you can just nestle a couple fistfuls in the center and plant your seed there.

As far as a recommendation for a dry fertilizer anything that's about 20-10-20 should work nicely for cannabis. Apply very sparingly.

Sounds like you may need to pick a grow style first... Then search that grow style in YouTube or where ever you search. If you want to do soil and nothing else, look up something like "water only autoflower grow".. If you want to use soil and a nutrient line, search "growing autos using "name of the nutrient line".. Do the same for coco and whatever you want to use with it.. There are many different ways to grow a cannabis plant. Pick one that fits you best. Feel free to tag me in those threads of people growing in both coco and soil... Or feel free to tag them in this post to help you if that's the route you're set on going! But it all revolves around picking a grow style and running with it, good or bad...

But top dressings take so long to work, how can you use them on an as needed basis? if you notice a deficiency then isn't it already too late??

If you are growing organic and using dry nutrients, your soil should be "alive", as in living soil... If it's alive. It doesnt take long at all for the nutrients to become available.. Some dry nutrients are time release.. Or some people's soil isnt alive.. In both cases it takes much longer for those nutrients become available. One of the main objectives of top feeding or using dry nutrients, is to feed the soil ahead of time.. The soil will then feed the plant... With autos, if you notice an issues, yes, mostly likey it's too late to resolve it due to autos not having a recovery period.. That's why they say less is more with autos.

Really emphasizes the need for a balanced potting mix that's been well incorporated before planting.

Yes, but if early enough in life, you can correct it for future growth. It's all about learning the plant. I usually top dress 2 weeks before I think they will need anything.
