New grower first grow question about nutrients

[dhll999]

New grower first grow-white widow autoflower in 5gl cloth pot using FFOF soil- 600w mars led grow light in a 2x2ft grow tent-My question for the first 2-3 weeks of growth what nutrients would I need if any. I am on social security and real tight budget right now and wanted to wait to pick up all my nutrients at the beginning of month but start my grow in the next week so I will have a 2-3 week window with out any nutrients on hand but I can pick up a thing or two if its a must have

First off, you should bookmark this page: https://www.growweedeasy.com/basics

Probably the most important factor, at this point, is knowing what your PH is. That's as far as I will take it, you NEED to learn from GWE.

In the FFOF soil, it doesn't need feed typically for 3-4 weeks. It is heavily amended with organic inputs and will give the young plants the food it needs. When I started growing many moons ago, I actually just used that soil and water. It gave me a harvest of smokable medicine. So, you might be able to go longer without feeding, you're leaf color will let you know when it is time.

As mentioned ph is something that you need to watch. Fox soil is good shit as long as you don't wash out the nutrients by overwatering you'll be good for 6 weeks and you will need flower food by then with an auto

Hi dhll999 ...welcome aboard. My first grow was with Fox farm ocean/forest blend. I didn't use any nutes during the grow, except Big Bloom and molasses during flower. Not knowing it at the time I misapplied both of those and still and harvested 4 ounces. This forum has helped me immensely. There's some good folks on here who know their stuff. I'm still a new grower but have learned a lot over the last 20 months or so. You should be fine for the first six weeks at least without adding any nutrients. Also, as BR2K has said, that bookmark will help you.

Ya that OF will feed them for a while. Read everything on the site and search the forums also. Invaluable info for all growers!

Get about the same amount of FF Happy Frog and mix them together. That mix should take your ladies all the way through without any extra nutrients, unless you're growing monsters. In a 2x2, you most likely won't be growing any monster plants so that should be fine for a full grow. I did a little plant as an experiment with the FF mix only (no super soil in it) and it did really well, better than some of my bigger girls did with the super soil added.
