foxfarm feeding question (chart)

[Guest]

Is this chart accurate for feeding marijuana? I use the big bloom in VEG along with grow big?

 

[Guest]

and also should I get some other ferts for micro nutrients like liquid karma or does foxfarm pretty much cover all those as well?

do I feed with every watering with foxfarm?

bigbloom is kind of like liquid karma.
tiger bloom is the "complete" bloom fert by foxfarm.

and no do not feed every watering or you'll have burnt plants. and go with 1/4 dosage, then up it as you watch the plants react.

What I did when using the Fox Farm nutes is I cut everything on that chart in half and fed every other watering. And then just increased or decreased depending on how the plants were responding. This is using the Ocean Forest soil also.

I just started using the liquid karma recently so not sure how much it helps. But I've heard a lot of good things about the karma so I'm sure it will be a good supplement.

ok cool thanks a ton presto. that sounds like a good plan. The liquid karma you are feeding every other watering as well half strength?

I am pretty sure they are marketing their product to our crop... their just not as blatant about it as AN. They have come full circle in recent years with the inorganics. They are trying to be more like AN I think. I've said this before on other threads: the best results I EVER had yield-wise was using 1 gallon pots of Fox Farm OF with a little extra perlite and 1 tablespoon per gallon added Fruit and Flower formulae. I fed half strength Hormex and Tiger Bloom through the entire grow, bottom feeding. Huge LifeSavers. Lovely even.

Been trying to duplicate that with my own soil mix ever since. Needless to say, I've switched back.

edit: I vegged under 6500k t-8s for about 3-4 weeks. 16 oz cups then on to the gallons.

that fruit and flower formula is a foxfarm product too? Sounds easy enough to me. Ill give it try.

no its to high, i use fox farm, 1/2 tbs for grow big, and 2 tbs for the big bloom

 

[presto]

The LK I feed at 3/4 strength but I suppose 1/2 would be just as fine, and let you go a bit longer without needing to buy more. It's kinda pricey, compared to the other FF nutes at least. And yeah every other watering, just mix it in with the other FF nutes.

FF is the only fert iv used, it done the job and gave me sum quility bud,

I've used that schedule as a good guide line..but i tend to add to it..I substitute grow big with Botanicare instead.During bloom I'll use 2tsp tb,2-4tsp bb,and 4-6tsp liquid Budswel..per/gal. of water every other watering.That sounds like alot, but the big bloom and budswel are very weak..I've gone hotter in the past.On the non fert days I'll use 2tsp. karma and 2tsp Molasses or sweet(as of lately) and I usually alternate the karma and maxicrop..just for variety.Toward the end, I'll cut out Tiger and just use big bloom and molasses,and finally pure water till the chop.
