With FFOF you won’t need to feed for the first 4-6 weeks. Sometimes it can get you through veg and then you would only be using your flower nutrients.
I don’t have first hand experience with Black Magic or Flower Power nutes, so I can’t speak from experience on either of those.

No problem. Another must have is a ph meter, ph up and down, and calibration fluid. Ph is the key to keeping your plants healthy and happy.

@Royc

I check my pH meter before each use. I store it with ph 4 solution in the cap, just turn it on, if it reads 4 I’m good to go. You wouldn’t believe how much of a factor proper pH plays in your grow.

Depends on the meter. I calibrate mine once a month or so. Sometimes sooner. I take baseline numbers of what my ph should be at after adding nutes and ph up/down for each stage of growth. When those numbers drift too much I will recalibrate.

I’m a newbie myself - and you probably have one already - but you need a gauge that reads your temp and humidity to make certain your tent isn’t cooking your plants :wink:

Yes, forgot to list it,I have two. One is indoor and outdoor so can see temperatures both sides of the tent, inside and outside of the tent
Thank you
