I have the fox farm liquid trio. Grow big, big bloom and tiger bloom. I have no calmag but can get some. No pH pen but I have the liguid test for now. I'm still new only my second grow. Im in the process of getting the good eqipment lol. I grew a ganja dwarf auto from Amsterdam seedbank in fox farm ocean forest with no nutes and it turned out fire. Better than the "loud" I buy elsewhere. I would love the feeding schedule but I am limited on height. So I can't have a 3.5ft to 4ft monster unfortunately
 
The Fox Farm schedule assumes feeding twice a week and assumes an overall volume of one gallon being mixed up PER FEED...(as it correlates with the volumes of nutes listed on the schedule)
So I found that computing for the week was helpful. How many times in a week are you going to water? Are you going to feed nutes every OTHER watering?

I figure those quantities and time frames out, and take a week's worth of nute requirements and divide them by how many times I plan to feed nutes for the week, as well as how many ml's
I'm mixing up (compared to a gallon).

With autos, it's best to be running between 1/4 strength and 1/2 strength concentrations so you have to factor that in as well.

Go to the fox farm website for the schedule for your medium...they have hydro and soil schedules

You also need to think about Cal Mag and Carb/mineral additions too. I found that Cal Mag was a necessary regular regimen item...on nute days and non-nute days...
I also fed molasses almost the entire time on "off days"

The Big Bloom is not a bloom cycle nute...it's more of a general maintenance thing (IMHO) Bat Guano and Earth Worm Castings. It'll be good (and called for) throughout the grow.

Your Grow Big will be your primary Veg nute and Tiger Bloom will be your primary Bloom nute. A flush in the middle of the grow with either plain water or FF Sledgehammer
is a good idea as these nutes are synth nutes and tend to generate salt build-up that you will want to clear out.

I tend to believe that Grow Big can be pulled entirely after the halfway point even though the schedule calls for it's continued use.
Tiger Bloom is pretty hot so it's best to stay on the low end of concentration %'s on that (IMHO) but that depends on the strain and how much it can handle.

My 2 cents

They are drinking about a quarter of a gallon every 3 to 4 days

So I can feed 1/4 the strength that it says for the respective week that I'm on once a week?
 
They both look beautiful
That one on the left looks gorgeous though, excited to know how the buds turns out !
Hope you had a great Christmas mate !
 
well i finally had to start feeding at week 5. they started to show some deficiency so i gave them a light feed of big bloom and tiger bloom. will update with pics later today. they are surprisingly frosty to not have fed yet
 
What was day 1? When you saw the first set of 5 five finger leaves? Dont mislead people dude..Day 28 you would not have fat buds like that..and On day 39 they look like they would finish on day 60..Weird how myself and everyone else in the world that grows it happen to grow it until its around 80 days old.. I am sorry that is just a lie and totally uncool haha.

Also I saw you dont have cal-mag, Epsom salt works for me, They like it just dont let the salts build up. Hope these babies saw a full life and you are just super stoned at the moment.
 
I got 4 west coast ogs at day 54 I've grown jack47, critical hog , lsd25 , white widow Xxl , all of which were great plants got big but I think I may have stunted my west coasts cause there not near that big like the biggest might be a foot but there solid bud the smallest I got u can't get ur hands around any part of the plant it's one solid bud , which I didn't over feed em , never showed any signs of nothin I did keep em in my small tent under led for a week longer then what I shoulda and kept the veg nutes on em past flowering
West coast R in the back left the front r ones I'm finishing critical hogs image.jpegthose r the white widows just huge plants image.jpegimage.jpegI did heavy LST on all my
Autos this go the white widows I didn't push as hard for but I
Think imma cut back on the heavy training
Those r the west coast ogs ... Def wanna see what u yeild , I've have fun with em but wish they got bigger cause there so frosty ... image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg
