Bud, I think the OF will generally carry your plants mostly or completely through veg growth, up to about 4 weeks, depending on your environment and the genetics. But IMO you will want to add something prior to the final transplant/flowering to change the NPK ratio a bit. I am guessing that OF soil is relatively N-heavy out of the bag.

The only feedings you'll have to give is in flowering. Mainly between weeks 3-6. A good bloom agent or guano tea is perfect.

true story....u really dont "need" to add anything to OF, but I like to add fox farm "marine cuisine" (dry fert) to my mix once everyone is rooted and happy.

then during flower I assault them w/ Big bloom and Tiger bloom....they love it!

Bud I would say it all depends on how long you plan on vegging for?

I am trying FFOF for the first time and have found out that after about 3-4 weeks your plants will need to be fed. If you repot bfore then you should be OK. Just listen to your plants they will tell you when they are hungry.
