big bloom is organic and it is mostly micro nutirents very little npk ratio, tiger bloom= bloom nutes high pk ratio, you should use all 3 in conjunction, but if you were to pick 2 i would pick big bloom and tigerbloom. Big bloom is used throughout the whole plants life while tiger is only used in flowering, and grow big is used in vegging. hope i helped.

use them on the same day, here is a link to the feeding schedule. http://www.foxfarmfertilizer.com/feedingfox.html
(bolding mine)
Out of curiosity why would you be recommending chemical based nutrients in an organic forum?

word, i came upon this cause i use fox farms and it caught my attention. I was thinking that the tiger bloom was organic but i must have had it confused.. However I use all three and am happy with the results..Organic or not a good flush makes it taste sweet and tangy
Just keep telling yourself that. With or without flushing (unnecessary in an organic grow) you'll never get the taste of organics when using chemicals. It doesn't sound like you have access to true organically grown cannabis for a comparison, so if you have normal taste buds I suggest the following; go to a farmers market offering organically grown ripe vegetables/fruit and purchase a favorite taste item. Make certain they have their certification posted as there are charlatans in any venture catering to the public, including cannabis. Then go to a supermarket and buy the same chemically grown item. Take a few bites of each. If you're like most people, that simple test could change your dietary and growing habits. Meats and poultry taste differences are equally pronounced, as is cannabis.

i used to work on an organic veggy farm so i know the taste difference in foods, I've had what was said to be organic bud (probably a hoax) it didnt make me change my growing patterns. i guess the only way for me to know the truth is to do organic and inorganic batches to compare with. Is the organic all about the taste? Does it affect THC content in a neg/pos way?

Not to stick up for Fox Farms, but they have begun the science and transition into moving into the true ALL ORGANIC market. As some may know, it takes a long time to get that certification. Accordingly, they will becoming out with the whole FF Trio-pack as well as there base nutrients that are certified ALL ORGANIC. As far as a time line, they said I would just have to wait and see, SO keep your eyes peeled. Hope this Helps!! FIRE IN DA HOLE!!!!
THC content is normally dependent on genetics and trichome development of harvest timing. If you've experienced the dramatic taste difference in food then you already know the difference in taste between organic and chemical grown cannabis.
They, like Miracle Grow and others, had no choice. As cannabis and vegetable cultivation becomes more widespread and consumer tastes more discerning, their chemical products were loosing market share to the clean taste of organics. They may be a little late getting on the bandwagon as knowledgeable organic growers use more and more raw components for grow mediums and supplements rather than the outrageously priced packaged soil/nutes.
Not all that long ago, probably out of desperation, Fox Farms was actually stating their chemical products were 'compatible' with organic growing.

they need to be used in conjunction..
I don't understand. Are you stating chemical based products should be used with organic products?

good thing to do......when ever you need to know a certain nutrients feeding schedule just google it! "fox farms feeding schedule" "botanicares feeding schedule" " yo mamas feeding schedule"......lol
No. All I read is Fox Farms stating their one organic supplement is compatible with their chemical based supplements. I consider that deceptive marketing to sell chemical product to indoor growers with little or no knowledge of the differences between chemical and organic growing and end results. If so, why is Fox Farms supposedly in the process of developing a complete line of organic products?

USE NEITHER... Any liquid fert will kill all the microbeasties living in your soil on contact. It's all about the micro life in your soil. Use a good organic mix and add some Mayan Microzyme along with a carb. That is all... A healthy population of micro life in your soil makes all the nutes already in the soil available. Make your soil a "Living Ecosystem". You will be over dependant on nutes and pH the second you start adding anything with synthetic salts in them like FoxFarms nutes. This will only open the door to other problems like nuking them, pH or deficiences. Just because it says "organic" on the bottle does not mean that it is.
