Is FFOF to "hot" to start Autos in? Also if I do 30% perlite mixed with it will that help if it is to hot? Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
I don't use ffof but my organic soil is hotter than hell and I start all my autos seeds in it. They (the seeds) don't use enough nutrients to get burned and it is hard to burn with organics. Hot means the organics are still cooking. Literally hot, which creates too much of something that has to do with nitrogen or something like that, but it is such a myth it's not worth coming off my high to think through one more time.
FFOF is pretty hot..some strains handle it and some do not..To germinate, I use Peat Pellets, and afterwards put the babies w/ peat pellets into some plain ole Jiffy Starter starter soil, in a solo cup..I know you are not supposed to transplant autos ...but, that is what I would do..
