Ocean forest should provide you with nutrients for about 4-6 weeks
Do you have a ph meter and a tds/ppm meter?
You will need one if you don’t already own one.
Your will have to start checking your ppm at about week 4 and after once your ppm drops under 1000/ppm you will need to feed.

Just don’t buy the cheap Amazon ones for $15-$20
I recommend aspera 20
Aspera 60
Or a blue lab ph meter which is the one I own and I absolutely love the meter easy to use and very easy to calibrate and gives you a notification when it’s time to calibrate.

I used FFOF & FFHF.

The FFOF is very “hot”, your not going to be feeding for a while. Don’t be alarmed by some signs of excessive Nitrogen… I worried about that for over a month. I will use FFHF moving forward as it’s not as hot.

You won’t need a ppm meter for at least a month, but you need a ph meter ASAP. No water should hit your soil until you ph it to 6.5.

I have an Apera ph60. Love it.

***When you do check your run-off ppm, don’t feed until it is below 700 or 800 ppm.

**** what do you plan on feeding them?

You are good for 4 to 6 weeks before you need to start feeding in brand new FFOF.

Some of my strains love brand new FFOF and others hate it.:+1:

I do make sure to check the PH… I really have a lot to learn I see… I plan on giving it the FF diet.

I use the FF trio plus Cal-Mag.

Keep in mind, with FF, half doses are like full doses and 1/4 doses are like half doses.

Start small and add more if needed.
