Would you suggest Frog farm for veg and then transfer into ocean forest?
My bad I just reread your response.
Ok I need easy. I can read from now until the cows come home but until Iām Hands-On going to still be ignorant. I appreciate your current and future responses itās nice to be able to go somewhere and talk to people that talk to you like your a normal human being not an idiot

Just remember, if you choose a medium that has goodies in it, donāt add nutrients for several weeks. You can add rooting supplements & even foliar feed if you notice something out of whack, but no need to pile on the food. From personal experience during my first 4 growsā¦and maybe even this current grow (my 7th), more food doesnāt equal bigger plants.
It actually means burnt plants & a lot of pleading with whatever god you may/may not believe in.

Funny how people agree with some but disagree with others on the EXACT SAME response smh nutrient charged soil wonāt hurt the novice grower what so ever it makes life easierā¦ when your trying to dial a plant in after you learn the basics THEN nutrient charges soil can cause an issue when dealing with over stretchā¦ still not a huge problem for the noviceā¦still not even a huge problem for the experienced there are much bigger problems to deal with in fact those soils are pretty well balanced and wo t have much issues at all start to finish if you just keep it simple and donāt try to mix easy with hard ā¦ if you want a simple grow keep it simple when you start learning techniques then start purchasing products in a lot that go togetherā¦ donāt just buy this because this person said this and then that because that person said thatā¦do your research about everything that is recommended to you and make a educated decsison based on your research consult your local hydro store ā¦ they want you to be successful with get here products so you come back and buy more they have the most extensive product knowledge and will be able to hook you up based on your needs and budget much better then ppl that really aināt right in front of youā¦ everyone can reco.end a 75$ ph meter and a 45$ bottle of this and 26$ that not everyone can afford itā¦ hydro dude will be your best bet ā¦ take your notes you make from here and bring your questions to the hydro store general will clear up anymisconception you may have acquired itās hard to read a response and put it to practice so just read read read sorry for the book but this worked for me I was in BSA soil for the beginning and I played for it more ways then one and am still paying in time ā¦ more plants cost more money donāt grow a bunch of plants if you cant feed em properly with your budget your whole crop will suffer quality wise if you start chincing on nutes if it starts breaking the bank I know I ran into this at the worst time but hey live and learn and next time will be prepared proper

Sorry but I disagree with u. I have asked the guy at my hydro store a few questions I knew the answers to to see what response I would get before trusting him with things I donāt know. He was much less knowledgeable than myself.
I think if u scan through the threads u can get to know whos advice u can trust. Thereās a much wider knowledge base on a forum with thousands of people than your hydro guy trying to sell product.
Just my two cents take it for what itās worth.

Yeah but I see same person saying yay to one and nae to another I have to disagree because that person seemed knowledgable but u hear little b- here and be there watch bs get out on spot lightā¦thatās just meā¦my hydro store dude has turned me on to most of my foundation which I have no plan on changing since its working
Hydro store dudes are not robots keep in mind so take with a grain of salt ā¦and I did say take your notes from here and run em by the store dude and see if they can clarify misconception or questions you might not be getting answeredā¦ i didnāt say talk to ppl here then ask hydro dude and discard everything you knew from before ā¦ I said make a educated decsison and read read readā¦ u obviously skimmed my post 
thatās what that was worth to me
Iām not here to argue. And no I read your post.
Most hydro stores are owner operated. They have all kinds of reasons to tell u what they want u to hear. But hey, u get your info wherever u please. Mayb your hydro guy grows fire. Who knows.

Trichs are what matter with ripening weed, since theyāre the actual resin glands. If your trichs are ripening, but your pistils are staying white, go by the trichs.
I wasnāt even bothering checking my one girlās trichs b/c her pistils made her look very immature. However, when I checked 2 days ago, it threw me into a panic, b/c sheās actually ready a few weeks sooner than her pistils had let on.
So, go for trichs. Use pistils to tell you when to start checking trichs, but donāt depend on pistils solely for determining for ripeness levels.
