buyin new nutes need help

hey guys im going to be buying fox farm grow big and fox farm big bloom, my question is why is the npk so low on both the veg and bloom? on the fox farm grow big the npk is 6-4-4 and on the big bloom it is .01-.3-.7 this seems really low to me , im really confused guys i need some help, the nutes im using are 15-30-15 for flowering and 20-10-10 something like that for veg help me out , ps i currently use peters and miracle grow for nutes

I use the whole FF line. Get the feeding schedule and follow to a T. Buy the Tiger Bloom, Open Sesame, Beastie Blooms and Cha Ching. You can even overfeed a little and your plants won't get burnt. In my experience anyways.

hey thanks man i looked at the open sesame beastie bloom and cha ching but their too expensive for me so do you think i should just get the fox farm grow big and fox farm big bloom or instead of big bloom should i get tiger bloom , thanks man

They work in conjunction with each other. Google FF feeding schedule. Yeah, they are a bit pricey. There are plenty of other nutes that work awesome.

ok i looked at the chart and im gonna get the grow big, tiger bloom and big bloom(will this be okay ?) and i was looking at the chart and some of the days it requires more than one type of nutrient such as in like week 2 it needs 2 teaspoons per gallon of grow big and 2 tablespoons per gallon of big bloom, i have no idea what this means does it mean like combine the grow big and big bloom in a one gallon container or have them in 2 different gallon containers im really confused

I mix them seperately. I have a jug for each nutrient. Yes, you feed both. That's why I wanted you to look at the schedule. Print it out and follow it. You don't need the solubles, but I recommend them. You can also use some molasses during flower. 1 tsp-1gal.

alright man thanks for the help , im lookin at the schedule and its saying feed all the way up to week 12 i thought you were supposed to stop using nutrients 2 weeks before harvest

I flushed my last crop for 2 weeks. No nutes. I think I used molasses almost till the end.

did you flush every watering for two weeks or did you just flush once

and also if any of you guys could answer me this question, im currently using peters for veg and miracle grow for flowering, not if i change to fox farm will it make a big difference in the taste of the bud, or will the better nutes mostly help with yield because if i could just stick with using what im currently using i wont have to be spendin so much money thanks guy s

Hey, i would definately suggest buying the fox farm i use the three liquids...(grow big, big bloom, and tiger bloom) my plants responded so well to them, they all grew very quickly with lots of good branching. havent started with the bloom yet but well see how that goes soon!

the reason the n-p-k is so low on the big bloom is because the grow big is basically just because

"This odorless, liquid fertilizer is a live culture of vitamins, amino acids, natural growth hormones, enzymes, and beneficial organic microbes."

thats off the fox farm site. the grow big is just beneficial orginisms, and enzymes, and vitamins " so there is not really much N,P,K.

the other two... Grow big, and tiger bloom aren't as low. anyhow... they work very well and u should definately get atleast the three liquids.


that is what i think... I am no Expert. i could be wrong.

hey hitthebong thanks for the info im prob def gonna get what you have, do you follow the schedule by fox farm or do you feed it the way you want it and if you do feed the way you please could you tell me how u do it, and also when you flush before harvest do you do it more than once because im thinking about doing it every watering

Hey, so i do follow the schedule, just start the nutes out at 1/2 strength, feed with 1/2 strength for 3-4 waterings, then you can kick it up to 3/4 strength... then after a couple weeks kick it up to full strength. If your plant leaves start to get white tips (nute burn) your feeding too much and should probably flush and kick the nutes back some. and about the flushing... i have never actually harvested a plant before, im working on that now i just started flowering 4 clones. but i would imagine if you stopped with the nutes 2 weeks before harvest, flushed 3-5 times, you would be fine. but remember not to over water at the end of flowering, you should let the soil dry COMPLETELY before flushing again.

alright thanks man that helped a lot

no problemo

hey jm 30 you said you mix the nutrients in two seperate jugs right, so how would you water it ,im a little confused on how you would water a plant if you have two seperate jugs of nutrients, and you said it would be ok to mix them together in one jug right?

and also do you think i would be ok just buying the tiger bloom for flowering and i could use the nutes i have now for vegging, for vegging i use peters professional and that seemed to work ok

wormsway.com has the 3 bottle of Fox Farm nutes for $39.95 and the trio of Fox Farm bestie Blooms,open sesame, and cha ching 1 lb containers for likme $69 I believe.

Fox Farm is good but shake the hell out of big bloom before using it and also I have noticed Fox Farm nutes are notorious for salt build up so watch closely.
