New Grower Fox Farm?

[PolazyDank]

I'm still having trouble on finding what soil I need to use.
I have had some people tell me not to use OF because it's too "hot" for the seedlings. If that being said do I need to use a different soil for vegging and another different for flower?

No it isn't necessarily using different soils for vegging and flowering so much as starting the first few weeks of an auto's life in nuteless starter mix then you can tier or transplant into bigger pots and use either a different soil mix that has nutes or just more of the same nuteless mix. Either is fine as you will be adding nutes in the feedings anyway. Several growers leave them in party cups or whatever their smaller pots are until they sex which is around three weeks, and when they can handle nutes, and when they start flowering and then transplant into bigger pots after removing males. Hope this helped.

If you're looking for a fox farm soil you can start your seedlings in Light Warrior seed starting mix is the ticket. I add more worm castings and pearlite to mine but it will work just fine right out of the bag. I transplant from that to amended ocean forest. Works great.

Both squid and piggy are right,or another way is to use ffof in your final pot but take a couple cups of soil from center of pot and put some plain peat in its place and by the time the seedling gets big enough and the roots reach the ffof the plant should be able to handle it.Thats what I do but itsw up to you to decide which way to go.

I started my Autos in a mix of Fox Farm Ocean Forest and Fox Farms Lite Warrior (40%/60%). My girls are in bloom and I have yet to feed anything... they like fox farms:

I am also a fan of namvet's method as well. Same idea but with no transplant. Teir transplant is barely a transplant as the roots are hardly disturbed if ever. I would go with tier from smaller cups or pots into bigger ones or do what namvet suggested. Bandit obviously did fine his way, too though.

No exact right way to grow...

Remember to that every plant is an individual, even two plant of the exact same strain may require different care.....
