Like Phillthy stated, Ocean Forest contains enough organic nutrients for about 2 - 4 weeks. Its varies. What I don't understand is that everyone always rush to give their plants nutrients, then they end up with other problems. I usually give them about 1/4 strength nutrients at around week 2.5 - 3. I keep it at a low dosage just to make sure they stay healthy. Also watch your plants because they will tell you when they need them...

With that stated, everyone is going to give you different answers...

Sorry, but ocean forest does not contain "synthetic chem nutes". It's 100% organic. Read the organic grower forum on here.

Yeah, as suggested above, I start them on a weak nute at week 2-3, so by the time week 4 rolls around they are getting strong nutes (I bump 200ppm per feeding usually) and then I just continue on.

Not bad eh?

anyways....i would appreciate any guidance.
