The Fox Farms feeding schedule says to feed Tiger Bloom twice a week

[Stone Age]

For me, this would be every watering, which seems excessive.

I'm growing autos in FFOF. I just started using TB at 1/4 the recommended strength, with plans to increase to full strength over the next 3 feedings or so.

The other nutes I'm giving are Big Bloom, CaliMagic, and Recharge, all at the full recommended strengths. I've been alternating that with just the CaliMagic at every other watering.

Is it safe to use TB at every watering? If so, should I slow down the increases in strength, say maybe from 1/4 to full strength over 5 or 6 waterings? Or should I go for it, pumping them up in early flower?

Noooo if your growing an auto full strength will fry them & Throw out your calmag for this run. You shouldn’t even need to start feeding until week 3 or 4

Also start @ 1/8th strength

They're on week 5 - 6. I really think the CaliMagic has been working for me; I didn't use it on the first batch, but did on the second, and they look far better (no issues at all). But that wasn't the only thing I changed, so I could be mistaken.

I was tempted to do that, but I haven't seen any adverse effects yet at 1/4. Could it be because I'm not adding any other Nitrogen (except the small amount in the CaliMagic)? I tried Grow Big, but it burned the shit out of a 4-week old plant at 1/4 strength.

Calmag is not needed in soil & is a complete waste. If for some reason you run into a problem down the road treat it with what the problem calls for ie. calcium or magnesium. Calnit for calcium & epsom salt for mg. The cal & mag together work against you for treating a def. yes, you can still get lucky & fix a calcium deficiency or mag def with calmag but it throws your nutrient proportions off & you always want to be feeding with a balanced solution.
