What happens when you plant seeds straight into Fox Farms Ocean Forest?

i think i got a bad batch of FFOF, because most of my plants' leaves are starting to harden and breaking off from the bottom up. i know FF has had a couple batches so i think this is the issue.. never had anything like this; browning and hardening of leaves on multiple diff strains.
has anyone had this happen to them?

ffof has had a few bad batches. The bad stuff is usually light brown and clumpy. Not dark and loose. Next time u water watch ur pots real close for root aphids or fungus gnats. I know I got hit with some gnats courtesy of miss foxy!
Pinecone-your ssh is crinkly because of the nutes. She will grow out of it. My SLH did the same thing while all other plants were fine.
Staff11-ffof gets hard to water(even fresh out the bag)in a hot growroom! Overwatering is also the culprit. When I water I only give enough to get run off. Unless the plant is super dry. But I do saturate the entire pot. This ensures no dry soil pockets and let's me know the plant is good.

Hey hempluvr,
Lemme know of a good procedure to get rid of gnats somehow? Would neem oil work?
By the time I realized I had them there were a few winged adults. So I ended up hanging yellow sticky traps all around the room walls and applied GOgnat to each pot over a 2 week period. Got rid of them lil fookers real fast. If using Gognat apply at half strength to sativa`s/sativa dom and indica/indica dom full strength! Hope that helps ya out.
Forgot to add,the plants helped too. Here is a winged adult who got
stuck in the resin for his troubles. The bastard was dead when I took
this pic. Found a few adults stuck to resin glands. It seems the plants uses resin as defense too,just like a spider uses its web. So slick!

Right true. You can use your own recipe with peat, EWC, perlite, DL and not have to feed as well as knowing exactly what is in the soil. For about 1/4 of the price..... I use biotone starter plus.
A lot of folks been talking about the newer FFOF also, it depends on where you buy it but the east coast is different product entirely then the west. Lots of bugs and issues.
That Espoma Bio-tone with beneficials is WONDERFUL stuff! I add it to my starter mix and seedlings just love it!

Well I currently got 9 fem AK48s (Nirvana) approx. 4.5-5 weeks old, 6-8" tall, started under a 2' 4 bulb T5 now under a 600w, that were dropped strait onto FoxFarm OF and they seem to be doing KILLER!
This is my first run with FF soil and nutes. I just repotted from beer cups to 1.25 gal pots and after 4 weeks I had 9 beer cups of root mass! Three days since transplanting and they just look "right", for a change. Hehehehe........
All in nothing but strait FoxFarm OF and water. So far so good.
I've got Grow Big, Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom for nutes. I'm thinkin' about giving half of em' a light feeding with GB in a week and and see if I notice any difference.
I'm gonna top them in 5-6 days, top em' again in another 2 weeks, wait a week or so then flip to 12/12.

Regarding gnats. I recently read on this site about "Mosquito Dunks". Search the thread and read. It really does seem to work.

nah its female just kinda slow at first and I lst'd it super early and low like that on purpose, plus its been topped and I took a clone and all kinds of stress to it. I'm 2 weeks into flower now and i'm using nutes now and its lookin way better.

I apologize for dropping the ball on this. I got really busy and couldn't find the time to follow-up.
I won't be using FFOF again for seedlings - or for anything else. All of the seedlings that I started with this thread burned badly within a week of my last post. I've had great results germinating seeds from the same strains in FFOF in the past so I'm left to believe that FFOF is not a consistent product and that I ended up with a "hot" bag.

Strait FFOF from seed to harvest using Grow Big, Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom.
No complaints here.

Puff,
The rough surface of the leaves indicates a pH problem.
Did you add dolomite lime to your mix?
