For big bloom from fox farm you could make your own. Actively aerated compost tea is best fresh. I've fed all my plants fox farm's schedule and didn't have any nute burn you can check my post history in the bodhi thread :).
thank you :D

I'm having the same problem.. The feeding schedule says tsp and the bottle reads tbsp. don't know what to think . Ill call fox farm Monday .
Keep in mind that the schedule is just a guideline‼Each bottle reads different than the schedule because on each individual bottle they are only accounting for you adding that bottle. On the schedule they account for you adding all of the bottles which is why the dose is lower❗

All right, I know I'm going to catch 'it' for this, but I'm stumped. I've been using the trio of Fox Farm nutrients for three years now. I've even used the Big Bloom a few times this year, mixed half & half with Grow Big.
Today, I went out to fertilized with just Big Bloom, and, NO, I haven't been smoking too much :razz: , only for medicinal purposes
Anyway, even though I've read the instructions many times, this morning it just didn't come out right:
says: 4 TBSP per gal......
I have a hose-end sprayer that holds 15 gal of mixed. If I mix 5 gal of 2 tsp per gal, I measure 10 tsp (according to label, and it makes sense 2x5=10). SO, 4 tbsp x 5, would be 20 TBSP!, and to fill it it to the top (15 gal) it would be 60TBSP, which is more than a 32 oz bottle....so, this can NOT be right. Well, my sprayer busted, so I had to wait anyway, and I didn't want to fertilize that heavily anyway, but could NOT figure it out!
HELP! PLEASE!
thanks!

Hey, even if you're going to tell me I've totally lost it, go ahead. I need an answer :lol:
Are you confusing you “Big-T; Tblsp” with your “little- t; tsp.”?

1 Tblsp. = 3 tsp.
4 Tblsp. = 1/4 C. (Cup)
1 C. = 8 (fluid, as opposed to weighed) oz.
32(fluid; fl.) oz. = 4 C.
4 C (also known as a Quart/Q. where I’m from)
= 64 Tblsp.

So, 4 Tblsp. (Or 1/4 C.) will get you 1 gal.
meaning 1 Quart (one bottle of the stuff) would get you 16 gallons worth at their recommended level.

I’ve been through that same thing.

Maybe just mix 1 bottle per 15gal container and call it good?

I'm 68 years old--Oh, I forgot :p ; almost. Well, if I can't remember how old I am, I don't figure you'll believe me when I say, NO, I didn't get my tsp & tbsp mixes up. In fact, since it was SO much, I re-read it (I sure think I did..now, my memory isn't as good at this age ;)), and probably read it again since my old brain doesn't always get it right any more.... I'll probably go out in the garage & look again in a minute & if I'm wrong, I'll be back :D. Anyway, it's funny. I sure hope I wasn't wrong this whole time :wall:. It's all good. fun to bounce ideas back & forth :weed:.
