New Grower Second grow, Forum Stomper, Skywalker and Tangerine Dream

[R Wayne]

Setup:
Mars Hydro 27x27x63in grow tent
Mars Hydro TS 1000
3gal fabric pots
FFOF with about 20% added perlite and a glass cup worth of EB Stone seed starter in the top middle (presoaked with 6.5ph water)
BuildaSoil craft blend for later top dressing
Two Mephisto strains: Forum Stomper and Skywalker and Tangerine Dream by Barney's farm
(All similar growth and finish time)

Thursday 1/27 @ 4:00pm
Germinated in paper towel in DVD case

Saturday 1/29 @ 8:30am
All seeds popped and went in soil

I forgot to take a picture of all 3 seeds and had buried 2 of them before I remembered and I wasn't even stoned. But it was first thing in the morning and me without coffee vs me stoned...only difference is I'm happier when I'm stoned :smoking:

Both Mephisto seeds popped out of the soil within 36 hours of planting. The tangie dream took a little over 48 hours to pop out. They look good at day 6.
Order of pics: Forum Stomper, Skywalker, Tangie Dream.

Day 11 since they went into the soil. They keep chugging along. I may have just over-watered a tinie bit. I had an under-watering issue with my plants last time. Think I went too much too quick. Live and learn.
Only got 2 plant tags so my tangie dream doesn't get one

Amazing how quickly they grow in 4 days, this is day 15. I need some experience or opinions on when to top dress (BuildaSoil craft blend). They are in about a Solo cups worth of seed starter in the middle and the rest is Fox Farm Ocean Forest. My mix of Ocean Forest and Happy Frog lasted almost 30 days in my last grow before I started seeing deficiencies. They were also in 5 gallon pots last time, this time they are in 3 gallon pots. I know the microbes need time to break the organic amendments down so the plant can uptake them. My initial thought was to top dress on day 21. Do any of you have experience with this? @Cooterjuice @Suki813 @2budz @Don't Fear the Reefer @sickzone @narnia420 @hairyman @Bob's Auto's

Thank you, I'm very excited to grow and them. Tag me on your next grow, I'd love to follow along

P.S. I'm quite intrigued with what genetics you've chosen for your next, I suppose we'll find out soon

I'm not going to be a huge help on this since I've never tried topdressing FFOF.

I'm hoping it'll work better then trying to use liquid ferts (not FF) like I did last time but I do appreciate the response

My previous grows I waited for around day 21.
I think I probably could have waited a little longer as I was using bas 3.0.
I was going with small top dressings to see how they reacted.

I think you would be fine going small now or waiting an extra week.
Maybe try 1 pot now and wait for the others and compare.
Your girls are looking good though.

Lol just wanted to let you know so ya didn't think I was ignoring the question lmao. I've not really done much of any topdressing yet, but from my understanding most people topdress with craft blend at the beginning of a grow and then use build a bloom/build a flower going into transition.
