   I'm about to go to the hydro store to pick up some Happy Frog but first I was wondering what I need to get to mix with it. I already have perlite. And how long will it feed my plants before I have to start adding nutes?

   And that is the beauty of soil... You have to read your plants, if they start looking like something is wrong, then you may need some nutes. If I were you I would get the happy frog soil additives that you mix in with your soil and the plants will take it as they need it, then monthly you can add more to the top. That is the easiest way without risking burning your plants. I just bought some happy frog fruit and flower for mine for that reason...
   I have grown good nugs without using any nutes, you'd be surprised how much nutrients are already in your soil.

   The only thing I would mix in is perlite.

   You have to let the plants tell you when they need nutes (color, drooping, nodes, etc. etc. etc.) What nutes you using btw?

   You could also try following the feeding schedule on the bottle of your nute complex if using store bought. If using organics, you really have to look at the plants and make your decision based off of how they are responding. Typically true organics (after you have made a healthy soil complex) only need water because once you have made a "living" medium, there is no need for adding much of anything.

7. Around a month depending on the plant its self. But like others have said. Wait until they show you a need for you to add nutes.
   Good luck

   When I used Flora I would typically add to my babies (im assuming they're still young) 2ml of Grow to a gallon of water and then feed. This would take place until they reached at least 1 ft tall. Then I would slowly add more according to schedule and plant health. Depending on how many plants you have and how big they are you may have excess nutes left in your gallon jug or whatever container you are using to mix the water and nutes. Dont save this as 2ml is not really that much and your not wasting alot of it if you pour it out. I NEVER save any complex of nutes i make. If theres left overs they leave. I had alot of problems thinking i should store my complexes.

    Thanks man that is great advice. And yes the seedlings that im going to transplant next week (1 blue mystic and 1 spiritual punk) will be 2 weeks old. I also have one that is about 16 days old which is an unsexed bag seed from some dirt weed. That is in some shitty Hyponex soil tho. Its kind of my experimental plant.

    I used FFOF when I grew soil and it does well mixed with nothing but perlite but also does well mixed with the Happy Frog at about a 50/50 ratio. As for feeding of course each single seed will be different but on average I remember not having to feed until possibly the 2nd or 3rd week after transplant. It does come premixed with nutrients and you will burn those babies big time if you add too much too soon. I did use the FF complete line of nutes though and cant help on the Flora.

    And that is exactly what im trying not to do...lol. but im sure with the help of GC I should be good. I have the unsexed plant with the others for now. I was going to keep them all together until I force flowering. Then I will seperate it to sex it. Does that sound about right?

    Everything I do in my grow is completely credited to the wonderful community here. Maybe I've read a few books but books don't talk back when you ask questions . Stay on GC and don't hesitate to ask questions . There are quite a few experienced growers (I still think of myself as a beginner) that can provide vast amounts of knowledge to your grow which will eventually lead to bountiful harvests. Any problem you have, search the forums. If you can't find the answer, ask the question by making the thread (like you've done now) .

    Good luck on the grow. Make a journal if you want to. I never do but really should since if you make a journal, there is a likely chance you can have all of your questions answered in one thread .

    Hell yea man GC's community is the best . Books will help too if you can't get immediate response . Look up Ed Rosenthals book on indoor cultivation. Good read there man.

19. id definitely mix happy frog with perlite or vermiculite, and some earthworm castings. if you want to go nuts, add some kelp meal or alfalfa and some rock dust
