Why is FFJ not on the chart for solution amts, for soil,seed veg,fruiting.?
The chart for solution amts for each growth cycle doesn't show FFJ.why?
Top answer
From the KNF library
The library shows FFJ on Cho's chart, but only in the later columns. (Cho's Solutions, p. 12)
On Cho's one-gallon chart, FPJ takes 8 mL in the first three columns. FFJ takes 8 mL in the last two: the fruit and reproductive stage, and enhanced ripening. (Cho's Solutions, p. 12)
So in that chart FFJ is a fruiting input. It is not a soil, seed or vegetative input. (Cho's Solutions, p. 12)
The chart lists FPJ and FFJ as separate lines, so it does not treat them as the same input. (Cho's Solutions, p. 12) KNF Demystified does the same in its 4-gallon veg, crossover and reproductive mixes. (KNF Demystified, p. 24) Cho describes FFJ as made from fruit and sugar. (Cho, Theory, p. 75)
Drake's guidance is to follow Master Cho's formula chart. (Office Hours Ep. 147, 36:54)
The library does not say why Cho placed FFJ where he did. It also does not say which chart the asker is looking at.
