FoxFarm nutes.......newb needs some info.

[Heff]

Sup fellow growers, rookie in the making. I just got my order of foxfarm: big bloom, tiger bloom and grow big and will be using soil mixture of soil/perlite/domlime. I've looked into the feeding charts @ foxfarms website, but I wanted to see which and what feeding schedules works best from seedlings too flowering. Thx and keep it organic..

well, I'm a newbie myself (still on my first grow, started flower on christmas), but I'm using the same nutes with the same soil (assuming your 'soil' is peat or some other not ferted 'soil') and I've read not to feed them for the first two weeks, or until the tips start to yellow, but I was an impatient newbie and started seedlings on their 'seedlings' schedule of grow big, I think it was. Well, I think it made them grow slower because I germed some seeds a couple weeks ago and didn't feed them right away and they are growing much better. So, I'd wait a the two weeks until feeding them, starting with a dilute of 1/4 to 1/2 the recommended strength and working your way up.

Thx for the advice demonseeder; I think I'll get some wormcastings in my soil mix and wait two week before I start using nutes.

Grow Big is not 100% organic, just so you know.

Grow Big is not 100% organic, just so you know.

neither is Tiger Bloom - Just so YOU know.

but it's how I learned to grow. Grow Big is 1 tsp +/- - some plants can take 2 tsp - most are pretty happy at one. - Set the pH to low 6's (6.2)

Tiger Bloom and Big Bud are for later.

How are you checking pH?
Date your bottles. plan on spraying the grass you mow in a year or so.

While your vegging - - start in small pots and up pot every 2 to 3 weeks and go lightly if at all with the ferts during this time - this is when you want to grow dense healthy roots so pH adjusted water with regurlar infusions of fresh soil. By the time you get a couple transolants back,, then start light feedings. (if your like me, now is when you establish clones) - then flower out
