So pretty much I just want to know real fast if I can have some advice am I doing completely wrong using Fox farm Big Bloom 0 - 0.5 - 0.7

And tiger bloom buds and blooms
2-8-4

When budding each water cycle instead of just well water which my pH is perfect nothing is going wrong there.

Is this okay or do I need something way better for fatter nugs and I understand that the whole better light and more wattage thing and I'm only using 150 Watts at the moment so I understand but I'm doing as I can but I'm just making sure that fertilizer is not my issue as well I mean I have very pretty plants. But of course you always want to do more and more better thanks for reading

I’ve been using the fox farm line since around 2009. I use the liquid trio, powdered trio, along with micro and the root brew with pretty good results. The powdered, open sesame, beastie blooms and cha ching will last forever so that’s why I have been using it for as long as I have. Just been buying the liquid trio as needed. I’m sure there is better out there but fox farms still ranks up there with the well known nutes. I use 1/2 strength of the feeding chart.

Lighting, nutes, grow room environment all need to be dialed in if you want huge tops like some of the grow gods have got here. But I do alright for a personal grower, haven’t bought any smoke since 2008.

Plants only need a well balanced nutrient and no boosters or snake oil is needed to have big colas. The genetics and lighting and environment have the most to do with how big and solid the buds get. Also try a simple soil vs say coco DTW side by side and you will see a big difference in not only growth rates but how well the buds bulk up. Also making sure you’re letting them actually finish is big because they put on the most weight in the last couple of weeks.
Growing your own medicine is very rewarding and therapeutic. Happy growing

Last few weeks huh I believe that's what I'm at now with her. I'll send some close up pics later. I like dense fat buds. Girlfriend can't pulled this one early I promise I'll burry her.

If you need upgraded lights keep an eye on Amazon for the groplanner 150w boards to go on sale for 40 bucks then get 4 of them and hook them together to make a killer 600watt beast for under 200 bucks

Genetics is your first concern. If you don't have them then you probably are not getting big nugz. Next light. If you gotta go buy a couple of CFL 250 watt bulbs, probably cost about $20 each but now instead of a near dark 100 watts you now have "equivalent" of 600 watts. Big difference.

I have used Tiger bloom and I would recommend cutting the amounts on the bottle to less than half. It is real easy to kill your plants with that stuff. To be honest, the 4 or 5 times I used it I can't admit to seeing a difference. But again, they got my money.

First of all brother, it's probably you, and not the soil.
2) 150w what? Hps, led, sup? More light, especially red/orange, nastier bud.
3) don't fucking burn em. 10 second rule, place hand atop canopy, 10 count, hand's too hot, so is she. Back it off.
4) always calmag
5) 6.5-6.8 ph
6) don't be "nute" shy. I hate that fucking word, btw, just again, don't burn em
7) always lollipop that a$$
Good luck man

I love #4 cal/mag always. I would say that’s a hard no. If you’re feeding correct nutrients there is no need for cal/mag. It’s easier to deal with deficiency then excess in my book anyway.

Test your water, calmag in hard water areas is usually not necessary and can lead to lockouts. Learn to read your plants, and you'll see what they need.

I prefer to keep it neither. Shit had a way of stressing me out epically.
Then I learned.

Since I've been using Fox farm on this autoflower I started my flushing today and I noticed that you really want to make sure that all the water and the bottom of the pan and stuff is completely clean like the water you put in and not dirty from all the nutrients and fertilizer and I figured this weekend I'm going to cut her after washing her the rest of this week then I'll cut and trim and hang does that sound good?

You’ll have really clean soil when you’re done. It’s your choice, but know that flushing at the end does nothing to make the weed any better.
