Hello Again! My plants are about 7 weeks old now and we had some really hot weather here over 100 degrees followed by extreme winds, 2 out 11 plants got a little burned, so at night when the sun went down I transplanted all my 1 gall pots to 7 to 10 gall pots. They are doing much better now, but a few of them didn't seem to have a ton of roots? Not sure why? A few of them are nice and green but have some drooping leavings but the soil is moist, why is this happening? Also the Flora Nova Is a bit cumbersome to water such a large crop. Is there a non liquid alternative? I planted them all in the "Recipe 420 soil " w/ nutrients in it:I'm glad they're on the mend!
FFOF works well if you will be continuing with the nutrients, as the stuff FF puts in there is barely enough for young cannabis plants. Growers I know that use OF still start feeding from the second set of leaves.
The Recipe 420 soil looks to have a lot more nutrients in it:
Ingredients: Aged forest products, coir, sphagnum peat moss, pumice, earthworm castings, feather meal, seabird guano, crab meal, fish bone meal, oyster shell lime (pH adjuster), dolomite lime (pH adjuster), bat guano, alfalfa meal, kelp meal, and wetting agent (yucca schidigera saponin).

Though they do pitch their own nutrient line so maybe those are all at low levels like FFOF! Hard to tell from looking at the product info.
Folks here have a lot of experience growing in FFOF, so that's where I would lean as it's a known quantity. But I'm sure the Recipe 420 stuff will work well too. Not much of a recommendation I know.

Thanks in advance!
