what type of soil should I use?

either one works great

 

Ocean Forest and add 1 part perlite to it. Fox farm can be a little hot. Perlite will cut it and give you better drainage.

 

I grew my LR2 in ffof with some bat guano mixed in. The plant loved it from seed to harvest.

 

half ffof and half happy frog

 

For seedlings and most autos ocean is a little hot. I'm with the mixing half and half w happy frog.

 

I still don't know where people get the idea that ffof is "hot" for seedlings. Is this from experience, or from he said she said type of deal?

 

My FF experience with seedlings is that it's too hot. This is true for clones as well if you switch them over to FF.

Seedlings may have stunted growth and clones will dry out and burn up after transplanted into straight FF.

This is my personal experience of course. I always add perlite.

Different strains must do better than others as well, because I use Ocean Forest for my girls from seed/clone to harvest and never have any issues as long as I allow enough time for them to use the available nutrients in the soil before I start adding to it.

 

ffof is real airy and happy frog is real dense so thats why i say mix them..with some extra perlite for good measure..plus they both have things in them the other doesnt

 

ocean forest has nutes in the soil already some strains will get burns or die when switched to ffof in some experiences

like it was said this can be avoided with mixing the soil

but i dont see an issue with low ryder ive grown those fucking things in swamps

 

I know ffof is fertilized, but so is ff light warrior and happy frog. I personally have yet to experience any burns on my seedlings with my ffof/bat guano mix.

 

imo guano is the way to go all the way i dont use any other nutes other than neptunes here and there

 

This grow I seeded with Happy frog and transplanted to FFOF and the plants are loving it. I did add worm castings, perlite and some moo-nure to the FFOF also. Didn't need to start nutes until 4-5 weeks.
