Fox farm nuets

Not trying to call you out, I am figuring out how to feed myself. If the recipe is on the label, I can follow directions - hell, that's what started this half nute thing!

I think its also strain dependent

I use big bloom in small amounts really early on in autos life.. like 12 days old.. once I hit day 21, I use grow big and big bloom in small amounts.. I do this until flowering stretch stops... then use tiger bloom and big bloom in small amounts.. big bloom is good for both veg/bloom.. it supplies the "goodies" for grow big and tiger bloom.

here is my current grow.. Auto Seeds Trans Siberian on Day 79

Only thing I have give her is water and tiger bloom.

What is the dark one to the right

Can't believe that's a auto, at full strength. So, you read the label, applied as directed and blindly ended up with that! Man I'm over thinking this whole thing!

This is not an auto, it's a reg. femminized cheese candy strain, and no I don't do anything "BLINDLY" a lot more to consider..folks have a tendency to blame nutes for entirely different issues.

The fox farm soil is great for autoflowers. But for a seed or seedling it is too strong so just scoop out a cup of Fox Farm soil from your container and replace it with a cup of inert sterile soil. By the time the roots make it into the fox farm it will be strong enough to handle it. From my experience the Fox Farm soil will give you a month of grow. Then I water when needed usually every 3 days and every third time I water I add nutrients. I start with 250 PPM and increase by 150 PPM each time I add nutrients to a Max of 1150 PPM. Just about any soil based Bloom nutrient will work fine.

I run FFOF with added perlite and veg for 4-5 weeks at 18/6 and then 12/12 and eventually 11/13. I don't even feed in veg use Tiger Bloom at half strength and Big Bloom at 1/2 to full strength. Every 2/3 watering. I never test ppm. Works for me.

I start my seeds in Burpee Organic potting mix and plant into 5 gallon pots with th FF mix at 2-3 weeks.

@vfwvn I just read every post in your journal - mad respect, man! The lushness, you have, at harvest is what I'm looking for!
You guys know the OP is running autos, right!

Thanks for your positive comment...
She was quite the athlete...

Auto's are really totally foreign to me..
old school thinking here..

I'm not sure I could keep a photo healthy enough to pay off! I've harvested photos but now trying to control the health of my plants better.
Autos are more of a sprint vs the marathon of a photo. Not trying to debate the growing period, I always tried to get my photos healthier before flowering. Hence the marathon!

I'm watching hoping for some good info on this very topic!

If you follow the fox farm schedule from their website, it gives much smaller doses for each nute than listed on individual bottles. Its for feeding the full line

Absolutley... The only one of their products I feed at full strength is the big bloom. All their powders (open sesame,beastie bloomz,cha ching) I only give 1/4 tsp of those.

I only ever give 1 tsp of tiger bloom.. rarely I will use 1.5 tsp of tiger bloom.

I've never used grow big but I got a tiny trial size dropper bottle of it and will use next grow on reserva privadas og 18.


Gonna give the OG 18.. grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom, beastie bloomz, open sesame, cha ching.. ph'd to 6.5 molasses a couple times on non feed days then flush at the end for 7-10 days with general hydros florakleen.

Informative thanks
