when my vegging plants are ready to move to the flower room, I transplant them into fresh FFOF. I start the flowering feed schedule immediatley (AN nutes). Never had any burn whatsoever on multiple strains. I do feed at half strength though. And i'm sure that there is some finicky sativa out there that couldn't take it, but i haven't come across it.

So are you giving your plants 8ml of grow, 8ml of bloom, 8ml of micro. Please explain!

no no i use sensi bloom a & b. no grow bloom micro. I don't use any grow nutes because the FFOF has plenty and gets my plants nice and big before flower.
So all i need to do as far as feeding goes is supplement the required nutrition for flowering
the line up is as follows:
Sensi bloom a&b
Big bud
B52
Bud candy
Sensizym
I feed all of these at half strength until the last couple weeks comes up. I do a rinse with final phase and sensizym, then just plain water for a week. I mostly only use plain ph'd water during the veg stage, with the exception of some Superthrive and B52 every other watering and at transplant time.

Are you sure you need it? What kind of water are you using?

Well I plan on vegging my plants for 2 months thats why I ask! I know I have to add nutrients the Second month so I'm trying to figure out the correct amount too add. I know not to use nutes before within the first month! I am using tap water that I let sit out in the dark for 48 hours before use. Aren't some of those nutes you use strictly for hydroponics?

If your using tap water you shouldn't need to supplement calcium or magnesium. All of the AN line can be used in any growing medium.

Grow micro bloom are three separate one part nutrients. Sensi bloom A&B are a two part flowering nutrient. Part of the reason why AN works best, is because they separate different parts to make for a more stable and balanced feed that is easier for your plants to take up, rather than mixing it all together. This separation can also make choosing a line up confusing. The grow bloom and micro line up will work fine for you. On your next run try out sensi grow a&b and sensi bloom a&b and see for yourself the difference.

Kbo you ever try Voodoo Juice? It's a real nice microbe mix that really works well for the roots. It's expensive as shit but so far I am loving the shit. Can tell a pretty big difference in the roots when I transplant.

That would be ideal. Unfortunately it's not possible to take the time to test every bit of knowledge that one has. Do you really know what will happen to you if you jump off a high cliff? Most of the things we know, we know only because we trust the sources that told us. I've never measured the circumference of the earth, but I am very confident it is what the astronomers say it is.
In this case, I have heard this said about Fox Farm from several experienced growers over a period of time. I felt it was reliable enough to follow and repeat.
Perhaps you would have preferred that I had prefaced that statement with "I have heard that...". I probably should have, but criminy, discussion in this forum is very relaxed and informal and people don't usually take the time to state all the qualifications that apply to a statement. Are we really that cagey that we say things like, "I read in wikipedia that some astronomers believe the circumference of the earth at the equator is about 25,000 miles?"

ya i did use voodoo for a bit but you're right it is expensive. But it is a great root enhancer. I use this stuff called great white that has a lot of the same ingredients as voodoo does, and it's about half the price.

It is possible to try it out. If you are unsure that you will die if you jump off a high cliff, then test it out. If you aren't positive that FFOF will burn seedlings, then test it out. Pretty simple, unless you want to make it complicated.

Here is a dumb question! Why would you be using bloom in veg stage. I know that the bottle say to use in conjuction with each other through all veg. but makes no sense.
Here I will rep someone who can answer this: I am going to be using micro, bloom, Grow with B52 How in the heck do I mix this crap up! I am going to be using a 1 gallon container of water. So if I go half on each bottle which would be 4ML each bottle, all together in combined nutes will be 16ml. Will I be adding all these nutes together in my 1 gallon Container and mixing, right? That sounds like a stupid question but first time having so many nutes too mix up and don't want to mess up my plant! Please help REP
