First time grower here!
So for feeding my Plan is this, I’m using fox farm happy frog 40% ocean forest 40% and 20% perlite as my soil mix ratio
The fox farm nutrients I will start on day 30-40 because soil has enough in it allready, when I do use it I will mix 1/2 the recommended amounts on feeding charts?
cal mag I should use the recommended dose 5-10ml, but only 3ml after 3rd node shows on the first application?
For mammoth the recommended dose on bottle .6ml
The recharge use 1/2 reg strength or 1 tsp for aggressive strength.
can I use mammoth and recharge at the same time? examples, feed recharge day 14, mammoth day 30, recharge day 45..etc or can I use at the exact same times?
And then use root magic for transplants?
Mix nutrients in distilled water then ph to 6.5 then add micros check ppm.
i will use call mag and the micros (mammoth and/or recharg) on the “water” days and the fox farm schedule on the feeding. And listen to the plant and adjust?
Does that sound correct?
It can get overwhelming I hope I get it right

"The runoff will help tell you what's in the medium. Although, don't be shocked if the PPM is high at first because the soil has nutrients already in it. "
if i only new that before ..... next time i will though
First time grower huh? Doesn't sound like it lol. You seem to have a good plan in place for feeding. Here is what I would do:
1/4-1/2 dose of FoxFarm nutrients according to feeding chart around day 30 from sprout.
Feed-water-feed-water... although, 5ml CalMag on watering days should be sufficient
The 3rd node guidance has changed in the new version of my book (release date late this month). Just start all feedings around day 30. I would do full dose Recharge every 10-14 days. That's just how I like to use it.
I would do .6 Mammoth P - every other. Maybe add it after CalMag on watering days.
Yes Mammoth P and Rechange can be used at the same time if you choose.
Root Magic sprinkled directly on the roots during transplants.
Mix nutrients in this order:
1. CalMag
2. Base nutrients
3. pH adjust
4. Microbes (Mammoth P / Recharge)
Always check the pH and PPM of the runoff when growing in soil. The runoff will help tell you what's in the medium. Although, don't be shocked if the PPM is high at first because the soil has nutrients already in it.
First time grower here as well.... I am glad I'm not the only one that went out and bought 15 additives! It can seem very confusing at times. Good thing for these forums and Youtube!
