I was getting ready to purchase my nutes and thought I'd opt out for Fox Farms Grow Big and Tiger Bloom. I just had a simple question about the Grow Big it comes with the option for soil or hydro. I'm using Promix BX (a soil less medium) as my growing medium and was wondering which one I should purchase? I've looked around the net and haven't found much of a straight forward answer but I've read places Promix BX is considered Hydro but I just wanted to double check (I mean it is soil-less right? lol). Look forward to any advice much love this board is awesome with support :mrgreen:

I'm new to growing but I'm pretty sure that's something you add to the dirt. The reason they say it isn't dirt is because.... it isn't dirt. It's supposed to HELP the dirt. So I'm pretty sure that if your plant is in ONLY that promix that's not a very good thing. I could be wrong, but You should get the soil big grow because you're trying to grow in soil, you just forgot to add the soil. Again, I'm new so I could be wrong, but that's my thoughts from reading around the forum over the past few weeks.

I'm pretty new myself bro and I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Actually the guide I'm following pretty much points out that you can grow with pro mix without adding to it in fact my babies are coming out fairly healthy in it. Other than a bit of lime I haven't added much to the promix. I'm just a bit confused cause I've read somewhere that growing in promix is essentially like growing hydro. But again I want to just confirm. The seedling stage is coming to an end and I would love to start the nutes soon for veg.

I'm a fan of general hydroponics. I used AN hammerhead as a boost, but a basic mild three part formula is tweakable for your individual strain needs, and is hard to abuse. FF is a hot product, and I really don't recommend it. I've got plenty of friends who do or have, but my results have outshone theirs on cuttings from the same plant rooted at the same time. It's your deal, so you decide, but I would say go with a good three part formula, whether it be GH or AN or another brand. This will give you more control over your feeding regiment.
