new grower wanting to use fox farms (ocean forrest)

[goldenboygrows]

I’m using ffof soil right now and I’ve had ph problems and macro nutrient problems. I’m in the states and it’s hard to find bio bizz but I would go with bio bizz imo. I also use mega crop and absolutely love it. I also use bud explosion and sweet candy as well. I’m getting roots organic soil next. Wish it would be easier to get bio bizz around here without paying an arm and leg for shipping.

do you have a schedule man for mega crop ? i cannot find anything man mybe i could with your issue if you are using ffof and feeding withing the first 3/4 weeks you are probably nute burning your plants if you are having problems maybe you need to just find a light mix instead of foffv as maybe its to much but iam no growe i jjust have done a to of research and maybe all of that is burning your plants bro.

To be honest no. lol. After about 20 days or so when I started noticing issues I started with mega crop with about a 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of water. Mega crop does their measurements by grams where 1/4 of a teaspoon is close to 2 grams I believe maybe a tad over. Then I just work my way up from there. I’m on 1/2 teaspoon now which is 4 grams but noticed 3 of my plants were darker green and started to have the claw. So I backed up and went back down to a 1/4. I would say search through here and read some of the mega crop threads. When you get into flower you start backing off the nitrogen and start boosting the PK. That’s where those other additives come in. With that being said mega crop is suppose to be a 1 and done kind of nutrient. Sorry that got long winded. Feel free to keep asking questions. It’s pretty easy to mix and just feed. Just have to watch what the plants are saying.

I've been mixing my fox farm with worm castings and promix because of ph issues and Im not happy how it drains so found mixing helped that too. Don't know about UK but Fox Farms in Canada it is the ph problem, I was watering with just water NO NUTS and checking run off weekly and was always surprised by ph level everytime. UK could be very different with so I'd still use it and just monitor the run off until you trust it.

i think i just give up tbh so many people saying this and that i kinda cba with it all like been researching 2 long now and still cant figure out a basic medium and feeding schedule i can go by i think im not quite made for this or anything tbh i give up before even trying to much info has just made me concern 2 much ayy oo thanks for help tho guys..

Be a bit sad to give up... Whatever works for you though.

For what it is still worth, if you want a simple grow, BioBiz light mix will work just fine, it does not have too much nute to start seedlings. The only nute you need for a first grow is Mega Crop. You could get some CalMag Pro while you order the Megacrop, it comes from the same place. You can add the other bud enhancers in later grows after you get the basics sorted. You may not need the calmag, but having it might come in handy if you develop a shortage of Calcium or Magnesium. You should also get a ph pen and ec pen. You might get away without them but if you run into issues, getting things sorted could be difficult.

If you haven't run into GrowWeedEasy dot com, it is a website with lots of good information on growing, and cocoforcannabis dot com is great if you wanted to try coco at some point. Of course, this website is an excellent source of help too. People here are friendly, and many, not including me, are serious experts at this stuff.
