There's the link for the feeding scheduel. i understand that it wants you to add 2 tbsp per gallon twice a week. what i dont understand is if you look in the row that says "big bloom" the blocks have numbers in them (6,6,6) ect. What does that mean./

 

[kirbymania]

those weeks it wants you to add 6 tsp per gallon for those weeks twice a week, yeah it says tsp/gallon 2 times a week and you fill in the missing tsp count with whats in the chart for the corresponding week, i think you were just reading it too fast

Pool makessense thanks Kirby +rep

 

[noobdestroyer]

you dont need that much at all

 

[kirbymania]

yea nood destroyer is right you dont have to use that much. now the big bloom wont hurt anything i use it intensely buy it by the gallon, the others (grow big and tiger bloom) you do have to scale it back a bit , i used to get the eagle claw before i figured that out.

dont follow their fucking schedule..be sure to flush before flowering with those nutes..(depending on the soil your using you may only feed like a couple times before you flower)and veg timee...beweare of salt build up is all

With most nute manufactures use half of the recommend values (do a small test batch first then add the ideal ratio to a larger batch) and then see if those readings match what you need. Most put way too much on their schedules so you waste a lot of it.

2-4 weeks, depending on how fast your plants grow. Some strains take high levels better than others though, so keep your eyes on the leaf tips for brown/black.

I use FF nutes at 1/4 strength, then 1/2. Water between feedings.
