Fox Farm Nutrients HELP needed!!!!

[CaseyJones84]

Currently using the Fox Farms Trio nutrients with Frog/Ocean 50/50 mixture. So far no problems at all. Just curious if im following the right schedule or if I should switch it up?? Also im in Flower right now. Day 19. What should i be using. Buds have just started to form?

 

[CaseyJones84]

I also ask everyone this... because i saw other feeding schedules for soil and also the same nutrients with same soil.

your pretty much going to use big bloom the entire grow. grow big is your veg nutes so treat that as you would typically. tiger bloom is your bloom nutes. based off that you feed what you want and drop them when you want ( veg nutes in flowering ). i used that schedule i believe but at full strength plants got nitrogen toxicity. my 2cents would be you'd probably want to be on tiger bloom and big bloom only.

Anytime I heard about FF nute feedings is to half what's on their feeding schedule, sometimes even 1/4. Since you are in flowering, stick with bloom nutes only. You could also continue(if), you are, using the micronutes. Such as boomerang,bush doctor,bembe etc etc..

yes don't follow what is on the chart you would half it or quarter it at least. i did an entire run based on the charts measurements for experimental purposes plants got fucked big time by nitrogen toxicity.

As said above the feeding chart leads many new growers down a rough path.

Here's something to think about.
The majority of growers who start out with fox farms trio of nutrients eventually move on to other ways of feeding soil.
Doesn't happen over night but if you continue to grow, hone your skills and do a bunch of reading, you will likely make changes also.
Happy Growing and Good Luck!

Thanks everyone. Have any recommendations on nutrients that you like or sites when i can check out?

I never followed their schedule or paid attention to it. Grow big half strength every other feed and swap the grow big for the tiger bloom in flower.. Used grow big first three weeks 12/12. Worked consistently well

I would suggest using this in a google search:
organic vs synthetic fertilizer "edu"
It will retrieve info from colleges.

Weed can be grown with what you are using for sure.

Many will evolve to either go with synthetic fertilizers in coco or other forms of hydroponic growing.

If you stay with soil you might want to look into feeding the microbes in the soil ( Organic) vs feeding the roots directly ( synthetic ).

The thing is if you want the healthiest possible soil that gives the best results you have to feed the microbes in the soil.
Big Bloom will do this.
Big Grow and Tiger bloom will not feed the microbes, they feed the roots.

My 2c.
If you are looking to grow the best tastiest weed and are not concerned about yield go organic.
If you want the biggest buds go hydroponic.

I basically roll the same way. Grow big till the stretch is over then switch to tiger bloom. Big bloom the whole time. I have one strain I hit with grow big a month later to try and slow down the yellowing. It yellows out fast.

So wait your leaves are supposed to yellow??

Their supposed to yellow in flower towards the end??

I often hit them with grow big mixed with tiger bloom a time or two in week 5-6.

Yes, try to keep them green until last few weeks. Often you will get early yellowing from bottom up starting many weeks from finish. A big cause is not giving enough nitrogen in flower. A lot of guys start yellowing at week 3-4 because their bloom fert doesn’t have enough nitrogen and it’s all been used up during the stretch. They like nitrogen...a lot of it during beginning of flower.

Yup, that's how it works. Old fan leaves first.

 

[CaseyJones84]

Oh ok. Well starting tomorrow i will only be giving big bloom with tiger bloom for remainder of flower. Thanks. This has been very helpful. Im understanding more and more. Thanks

They are pulling the nutrients from the leaves towards then end. Nutes are stored there
