Dumb Question........... FOXFARM......

When I start my plants on Tiger Bloom in flowering stage, do I still feed it the other stuff too?

tiger bloom with big bloom...

4 or 5th week use tiger grow and big bloom then back to tiger/big...

you need to be using cal/mag with if you are using RO/distilled water.

Yes I use distilled water. So use both your saying? Do these not have the cal/mag in them? Do I need a third nutrient? lol. Thanks for responding,

big bloom is actually for throughout the entire grow. tiger bloom is for flowering, so yes the big bloom should be continued through flower. when i used the ff trio i would water with big bloom and feed with tiger bloom. as far as the cal and mag, tiger bloom contains magnesium but calcium is not listed on the guaranteed analysis (even though the first ingredient is calcium nitrate. i'm not a chemist so i go soley by the guaranteed analysis) big bloom has no calcium either. you will probably need to supplement calcium if using ro water. mixing lime in the soil would help achieve this also if you are in a position to repot, but you might want to look into a calcium supplement.

hope this helps...



SOIL & SOILESS FEEDING TIPS: • Use FoxFarm Ocean Forest® Potting Soil when transplanting seedlings into larger containers. • For best results feed with every other watering. • During the flowering stage reduce the amount of light from 18 hours to 12 hours. • Maintain a pH of 6.3 to 6.8 to prevent nutrient lock up and reduce stress on plants. • Use primary nutrients for abundant growth and stocky, robust plants. • For high-octane yields add supplements to the weekly diet. • Never mix pure concentrates together, always add them to water first.Use FoxFarm Big Bloom™ in conjunction with other FoxFarm nutrients to relieve plant stress, unlock unwanted salt bonds and allow for increased nutritional flow. Note: In Coco this process is especially helpful, as Coco has a tendency to retain mineral salt build-up.For longer grow cycles, continue the week 12 feeding schedule until harvest.

PERFECT!!! Thank you so much

half dose when

am wondering about the half dose too

i have used fox farm nutes succesfully following the feeding chart to the tee. Except for the cha-ching somehow my dumbass bought two bottles of open sesame instead of a cha ching.. but i never add calcium or magnesium just use the fox farm lineup.. some of those are hot though

IF using Only Foxfarms Trio(Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom, Grow Big) your find your plants suffering at somepoint from plant defficiencies. Products like Earth Juice's Microblast would fix them. If you can find a good cal/mg that would work. Im a 100% OMRI organic grower so i only use Big Bloom now in conjuction with products I've carefully selected.

I use to use all 9 Products by foxfarms plus some, Additives(Open, Beastie, Cha-chin) should be added 0.25tsp per gallon twice a week in soil, or 0.5tsp per once a week(my method). Big Bloom should be applied at minimum of 3tsp per gallon, and could be increased to 4tsp-6tsp per gallon right before the 2week flush phase(Smart growers, not unexperienced). 2tsp per gallon Tiger bloom with Bigbloom on the second water without additives if you follow the Once a week additive scheme. Grow big could be added during week 4-5 i'd recomened Only once, and only one of the weeks, extra nitro is benifical but 2 much will do the opposite of what you want. You want Yields, you won't get them. Microbe brew can be fed twice a week at 0.25-.05tsp per gallon, kangaroots can be fed at 0.5tsp per gallon and used once in bloom at a rate of 1tsp per gallon. You can use Microbe brew and kanga roots on 4Inch pots / clones at 1/4th the dose, and also later in bloom, but may or may not be needed. I do both.

But i no longer use Foxfarms full lineup, although it provides great results, same results are easily achieved organically. I make my own clone solution from my Willow tree, instead of buy clonex, or Organic Earth juice Rootstock

I've known cancer patients, who are alive, and some passed on, OMRI organic is a big deal to me, so i no longer Synthetic or man made substances in my Marijuana, and would prefer cows, chickens, and etc to be fed OMRI organically aswell, so when we consume them its still fine. I don't back time released even if its OMRi, thats for crops with Long life cycles(Marijuana is short, even with long vegative stages).

Hope this enlightens everyone.

There is no such thing as a dumb question. Not asking the question is dumb.

Fox Farm has a nute chart for this on their website under feeding schedules.

Question, u said 3 tsp big bloom(min), but on my bottle it says 4 tablespoons, were u just underfeeding cause ur using it in conjuncture with other nutes. Or I was thinking the recommended feeding on the bottle may be if ur only using that one product. And curious what organic alternative u found to replace tiger bloom.

i had this same question, but i go by the feeding schedule which says teaspoons. sometimes i just go somewhere in between and use a tablespoon and a half
