Bout to start feeding nutes and i have my foxfarm soil nutes . I have 3 one gallon distilled water jugs and i put big bloom n one, grow big in another, and tiger bloom in another. How do i go about feeding my plant? Do i pour some water from the big bloom then pour from the grow big one, then pour some tiger bloom? Or am i supposed to mix the prescribed doses of bb, gb, tb into one of the 1 gallon jugs? Need help please help. And how much do i pour into my 5 gal bucket?

ive no idea with fox farm on the order you may have to feed, but they all go in the ssame set amount of water, i,e i use canna so 10 liters of water say, i add cal/mag followed by my additives enzymes and flower boost/pk ect, the last thing i put in is my AnB as the b must be the last in of all nutes n additives, but all in the same 10 liters of water no separate mixing but id do test my ec s, let sit for few hours then feed to my plants

jeez, the instructions are on the bottle and on the website. however, you use only grow big during the vegetative phase. When you flower your plants you switch to big bloom. tiger bloom is used during the flowering stage too. if you throw all that stuff at once at your plants you might have problems. i use big bloom when i'm flowering and use 2-4 tablespoons in a gallon milk jug. i use it every other time i water.

jezz, you're either messing with us or not listening. if you are not flowering use grow big - period. after you flower use big bloom. they are not meant to be used all at the same time.

for my plant at the moment i do it like this:
i get my bloom nutes, get out my measuring spoon, put one tbs in my gallon milk jug (whatever the box says to put in)
then i add my calmag.. actually i do that first which is a teaspoon per gal
then i add my thrive alive which is one teaspoon
then i close the lid, shake it all up, open my lid, do a ph test and add my ph up by drop until i hit the right ph
and then i go feed my plants
all of the ingredients go into the SAME gallon milk jug, not different ones
and the box/bottle will tell you how much to add to your gallon of water.
then when feeding pour enough in to see about 20% run off water come out the bottom of your pot and your done
read the instructions and only feed every other watering and start with HALF nutes at first
does that help?

wow! so you are growing in soil right? how many plants in how many containers, what size containers, what soil, and what sort of light?

this is not hydro. if you are growing in good dirt i don't think you need to do any of that stuff. i never run water out of my pots. i never check my PH.

Look lets make this simple. If your growing in soil, Just add the proper doses of all you nutrients into one gallon of water. Mix well, If you can move your plant to a sink or outside to water, just slowly pour the whole gallon in, let the excess run off, and then transfer your lady back under the lights. If your running multiple plants. Divide your water up evenly. If it takes more than a gallon, mix up what you need.
If your growing in hydro, do the same thing, mix your nutrients accordingly, PH to around 5.7, except when growing in hydro you need to have a PPM meter so you know how much to add per 5 gallon res of water. Add your mixed nutrients into your system.

Im assuming your growing in soil but you said 5 gallon bucket so you could be growing in hydro.

yes i grow in soil but my tap water is 5.0 ph and adding nutes brings it down even more so i HAVE to do ph check and stabilize for my plants.
click on my name and go look at my journals to see my plants
