for veg you need the grow big and big bloom, the big bloom is used through the whole cycle, its sort of like the catalyst that kicks off the stuff, then for flower you use tiger bloom and big bloom, the three powder ones are flowering add ons, youstart with open sesemee, then the beastie bloomz cha ching.....as you probably saw from the feed chart above, fox farm is some dank shit so if your using ocean forrest dirt then only use half strength because you can burn the shit out of then easy

Yea, What fatSam said, If using FF soil don't add nothing for at least 4 weeks, Than try a quarter to half strength to get a feel of how the plants react. Great Shit IMO, just some plant varieties use more or less nutes, I put a little burn in my WW, with half strengh Grow Big at 4weeks, Turned out Fine, But adjusted just below the chart on some Nutes Later to be safe. I use the Full Line. Good Stuff!

Also, you cannot burn the plant with too much Big Bloom. Tiger Bloom and Grow Big and the Soluables, yes too much burns, especially in the first month they are more sensitive to the nutes.
The guy at Fox Farms told me for seedlings or rooting clones in an aerocloner or bubblecloner 1/4 tsp/gal tiger bloom and 1 tsp h2o2/ga for 2 weeks or until, rooted then go to the week 1 schedule on 1/2 strength. Im trying it right now quite successfully. Do note to not use h2o2 with Big Bloom. It will kill the active "stuff".
IMO the FF schedule PPM's puts you very close to nute burn, so why even go there when 1/2 or 3/4 is plenty.
He also told me using FF nutes in hydro also be sure to note that it has no calcium, so if you are using distilled or RO water you need to add Cal Mag or you may get a calcium deficiency. I learned that one the hard way.
Hope this helps.

I'm using ocean forest soil and fox farm nutes. I just follow the schedule and everything so far is good. Do yourself a favor and get a real ph meter. I use a hannah 'checker', if your ph is not right, nothing else you do will help your plants reach their potential and you may end up even killing them thinking you need to feed them more when in fact you have a nute lock up because of your ph.
Do you know what the ph of the water you use is? Do you know the ph of that water after you add your fox farms? They do a great job with their soil starting off, it's between 6.3 and 6.8, perfect for our hobby. It's up to you to try to keep it in that range or as close as possible so your girls can use their nutrients. Get a ph meter. Less than forty with shipping if I remember correctly.

Tiger Bloom substantially lowers pH...they even say it will on the bottle...so make sure you have means of adjusting this.
I spent a grand setting up a 6x2x6.
I agree with backing off the nutes on the tiger bloom and all the other finishers that FF offers.
Also remember that nutrients are for making your plants capable of being the best that their particular strain can be. Meaning you can't take a seed/clone from a weak mother who's strain is known to be sub-par and expect nutes to make it the most dank bud in the world. They are what they are, nutes just help them achieve their maximum potential.
