Fox Farm GrowBig,TigerBloom,BigBloom Feed Question

[marley1]

Whats up guys.

Anyway I was glancing over the Fox Farm Feeding schedule today and the stated feedings were kind of against some of the forum information so i figured i would ask for a little assistance.

Grow Big - 6-4-4
Big Bloom - 0.01-0.3-0.7
Tiger Bloom - 2-8-4

They recommends 2 tspn(2x the bottle dose) of the Grow Big at 2 weeks, and Big Bloom 2tbl/gallon during vegging as well. Then TigerBloom and Grow Big in flowering.

Anyway I haven't really been following that. I have been doing 1 tsp of Grow Big. But I noticing my plants seem to look a little differed from before the nutes and after. I fed them 2days ago.

Here are some pictures. Can some users of Fox Farm nutes help me out with a better feeding schedule. Or should I be following their schedule.

I have used these nutes for awhile and it's smart to start with FF schedule for feeding, as your babies grow up they can take more then the suggested amounts BUT BEWARE the tiger is a hot one and it will burn if your not careful, i would go slow with both it & the grow big, I think there both chemmie and can,like all non organnics, fuck your shit up if you go overboard. I have used up to a tablespoon pr Gallon of all of 'em on big plants in BIG pots, a nice addition to these or any nutes is liquid karma, and you can omit the tiger in late bloom and go with pure blend pro bloom 1.5/4/5 has a decent ammt of phos but is organic for a better, smoother taste, MTC< gro on!

I wouldnt even use a full teaspoon on plants that size yet,well you're cutting it close grow big can burn small plants easily.1 teaspoon per gallon is normally what I use but if you have pretty large vegging plants,I've given 2 teaspoons withoput fert burn.I dont go by the schedule growing different strains I like to see how the plants react first.One good tip is to use grow big the first 2-3 weeks of 12/12 during the stretch you're going to have a veg explosion!I use 2 teaspoon grow big for larger plants at this point but usually only 1 during veg.

any more input?

Only to say I stopped using big bloom long ago,too expensive and not needed using the other two.

It's not so much Tiger bloom is "HOT" and burns as it drops PH waaaay down at 2 tsp per gal. dose. For the water here, 1 tsp of TB drops tap water from pH 7.0 down to about 6.0-6.1. This is good because I can use it twice as often and not have to adjust pH back up.

Big Bloom,, - much cheaper ways of getting worm castings really hard to overdose with - I have used 4 Tbls to a gallon and they wanted more.

Grow Big,- Works well in the 1-2 tsp per gallon range - (lil lighter for seedlings)

I suppliment with a couple different bat crap teas, fish juice, seeweed extract, alfalfa extract and mollassass now days. Don't run into deficencies - Foxfarms is a good way to start, IMO - it was the first step in upgrading my grow into a "Higher Realm"

I've got a question about the schedule. It shows in week 3 and 4 of bloom to use 2tsp/gal grow big. Wouldn't it be better to use those the first two weeks of bloom? I guess not, but I'm curious why.

 

[Guest]

Its nothing but liquified worm castings really use it up but I wouldnt invest in it again,vegging plants could use a shot of phosphprous and potassium I guess thats why they schedule you to use it in veg.You can go by the schedule if you want,but you''ll find its better to experiment with different strains to figure what their needs are
