I've seen threads where people burn seedlings/clones in ffof and I'm wondering if I should add anything to prevent this from happening? Gonna mix in half a bag of ewc for good measure....
I have germed hundreds of seeds in FFOF/FFLW mix. I haven't attempted planting directly in FFOF yet, mainly because I just dont like FFOF as a stand alone.
I have never seen any burning of seedlings or clones, but growth later needed outside nutes and additional amendments.
Once I started adding EWC and dolomite lime, my "late in flower" pH problems went away and it was harder to burn my plants.

Listen to BurnOne - I did and it saved my plants.
I added 1 Tablespoon of lime per gallon of medium, medium being the combined soil/perlite/castings/ etc.
what I've done before is add 1/2 a cup of lime, some rock dust ( azomite ) and some other stuff I can't remember
I would not add that much EWC.. EWC is fine, but as they say, just because you can doesn't mean you should. if you add that much EWC make sure and add more perlite

The buffers in the FFOF will be used up mid way through flower. That's about the same time pelletized dolomite lime starts breaking down and buffering your soil plus it adds Ca and Mg. So yes the lime will help. To help with burning mix one bag FF LW with the FFOF. The LW will also add bene's to your soil that will make your roots very happy.
it's that simple
