For various reasons I'm going to transplant from the 20 ounce cups into 3 or 4 gallon pots for the remainder of the grow ( I know that transplanting planting is usually done in smaller increments, but I'm doing this way for this gow anyway.). Is it ok to layer the soil? The top could be pure FF soil and then maybe a few inches deeper a mix of FF soil and bone meal for example. My reasoning is because 3 weeks after transplanting into the bigger pots I plan on puttting them into flowering when they will need extra phoshorus. At first they won't need the extra phosphorus because they will still be vegging, then 3 weeks later they're put into flowering. So, pure FF soil on top and the bone meal-FF mix for the remainder of grow.
Also, what do others do for K? Do they blend it into the soil when the plants get big? At what point of the grow must K be introduced into the fertlizer routine? Should potash be mixed into the soil, or can it be dissolved in water and useed as a liquid fertilizer.
And finally, Shouldn't nitrogen be introduced into the soil after the plants are a few weeks old? I know that FF has nitrogen in it, but I understnad that plants love lot's of N.
Caligrower gave me his 2 cents. Does anybody else have expeience with FF soil and growing organic, that might be give me more ideas?
All help is greatly appreciated,
Alistair
