Foxfarm nutes?

[JGS is STONED]

ok so i have the 3 foxfarm liquid nutes.

i got the grow big, tiger bloom, and big bloom.

i looked at the foxfarm schedule (http://www.foxfarmfertilizer.com/soilfeed.pdf). is this the best way to mix?


and i noticed on the schedule that in the flowering stage, it says to use big bloom and tiger bloom, how much should i put into 1 gallon of water if i was feeding my plants?

would 50% strength of both tiger bloom and big bloom be good to mix into 1 gallon of water?

i just started myself with tb and it is simple read the back and follow the directions DO NOT over feed i did and i made a mess.....if u r in bloom use about 3-4 tablespoons for the tiger and 2-3 teaspoons for the bb and hakf that for the grow and u should be ok if u see u need more results use more as u go...

It works just fine , but you should do the whole line. Add the Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz, and Cha-Ching too, You wont be disappointed. Adjust it as you get more familar with your plants to fine tune it.

the open sesame beastie and cha ching r from foxfarm? r they just for bloom? i dont use them only to bloom veg im fine on...

 

[halzey68]

you start the open sesame a week or 2 before you flower( go to 12/12), but they are mainly flowering enhancers. Alot of old grower i know from Nor Cal swear by it. You can adjust the length of veg to size your plants, and for some strains youll need to adjust the length of your flowering stage.

I just threw away all my foxfarm nutes and humboldt countys own products. Best decision Ive made since deciding to grow.

since posting this thread i noticed alot of chances. the buds r alot fatter n the main stalk is tilting.

im thinkin about getting the open sesame beastie and cha ching soon. will it help allot or is it not worth $70 for it? i just recently bought sweet leaf. Is it any good? i just started using it on my plant that has 3 n a half weeks left of flowering.

what nutes do you use now?

 

[Bizzler]

Just follow the feeding schedule. Every other Watering...Works Great!!!!

 

[anhedonia]

what nutes do you use now?

I use pura vida grow, Earth Juice grow ,earth juice bloom, meta k 0-0-10, roots organics 0-4-0,root juice, benificial bacteria and molasses. eventually I want to make my own soil and teas.

yes there worth the money, they are soluble ferts not liquid so that little can has a lot of feedings in it

Hehe, I think you got it backwards... You want to use 2TBSP of BigBloom and 2tsp of TigerBloom per gallon of water. That's a 50% dilution of the recommended doseage - it works out to 800ppm. I use that formula at every watering during flowering and my results have been spectacular. I've never used the FF solubles (Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz, Cha Ching) before, but I will be using them for the first time on my current crop. I can't wait to see the results!

 

[luielugatz]

ok 2 table spoons or teaspoons of either bb or tb is the recomended doseage but what would you add for a heavey feeding to get ppm,s so the ppm,s go to 2k or 3k... If u read the back it says. A half a cup per gallon for heavey feedng so my question is what to do? A half a cup to end the blooming stage or just go from two tablespooons to four per gallon... This is what cnfuses me...

 

[Krypt]

everyones feeding is unique, u just have to figure out what your plants can handle before being burnt up. The feeding schedules fox farm gives u is a good guideline, i would start there and if u want to increase, do so incrementally.

let me ask u this this is were I'm a little lost... Let's say I add two teaspoon of bb and go from two to three tablespoons of tb per gallon and when I add it to my rez naturally my rez water turns brown from the tb cause it's nasty and thick and the next day I check my rez again and the water is clear are all my Jutes gone? Did I not add enough? I do t have a ppm meter yet but this is were I'm lost...

 

[halzey68]

there sitting in the bottom of the res. add a circulation pump to keep the mix mixed or stir often.

 

[luielugatz]

no not sitting at the bottom its all gone like they drank it the water was clear....but does the water in the rez have to be clear or u know brown color from the bloom nutes to have nutes in it?

You've still got the measurements confused. The BigBloom should be measured at 2 tablespoons per one gallon of water. And the TigerBloom should be measured at 2 teaspoons per one gallon of water. Keep in mind that the BigBloom is not a suitable stand-alone nutrient like GrowBig and TigerBloom are. BigBloom is a supplemental nutrient that acts as a growth catalyst. That's why, if you read the bottle, you'll see that its NPK content is extremely low. It's used, not for its NPK content, but rather for all the secondary micronutrients and other biological goodies it contains.

 

[luielugatz]

still no answer to my question.... When u add the nutes it darkens the water and a day or two later it's clear is there still Jutes in the water if it's clear is what I'm asking... Ause I'm pissi g threw Jutes and it's getting exspensive...

 

[rolla8]

Yeah, the nutes have a tendency to settle at the bottom of the reservoir. If your setup doesn't automatically keep the water agitated you can mix it up yourself manually a few times a day.
