but get the calmag....soon

as soon as your soil runs out of calcium your going to have issues since theres none in the nutes

why can't i just keep following the schedule for fox farm nutes, cause i already bought the whole kit
I used foxfarms whole line for years. Nothing wrong with it, but the schedule is way to much waste for anything I've ever grown. There's no way their schedule can tell you what your plant needs this week. That's why they recommend all the flushing.

you don't need tiger bloom

just mix it the way I said
don't add anything more or less (except whats in the directions I gave you)

water them a few times with just calmag to leach them and get the calcium and magnesium up

then start the full mix

why so low just the schedule says 6tsps per gallon for bloom, and if i use boomerang and the side additives will if affect the npk a lot and mess up my plants


OK
ive got them all calculated

first let me say
these are oddly balanced ratios of nutrients and im not sure id would ever consider using this brand

let me give you a couple reasons
I don't trust the product info... several of the bottles list derived from; magnesium sulfate and then list no % amount for magnesium wtf
how can it say it has magnesium sulfate and not have magnesium
seeing this makes it impossible to trust the listed ingredient

second; not one of those bottles has any calcium...zero! and I don't think theres any in them because calcium nitrate isn't listed in any of the bottles and your not likely to get calcium without calcium nitrate

I would never recommend these nutes to a hydro users
luckily your in soil

having said all that

if the numbers on the bottle are correct (and I cant say they are)

I would mix

veg (full strength)
per gallon
3mls grow
6mls bloom
10 mls calmag (only way to get your calcium)

bloom (full strength)
per gallon
3mls grow
8mls bloom
10mls calmag
1/8 tsp Epsom salt (0.5 grams)

for a higher ppm mix it the same way but with slightly less water
for a lower ppm mix it the same way with slightly more water



the boomerang and kangroo you can run it or leave it out (not more than 3mls per gallon)

you don't need the tiger bloom

in the long run if I was you id change your brand of nutes

the boomereang has 2% N so it will raise N and theres no need for it

yes the other additive affect the npk but if you only use 3mls per gallon or so its not enough to matter

the directions from the brand are way too high

6 tsp is 30mls per gallon
that's just crazy

you may find you need more or less than why I recommended

but its should be close

if you increase it don't do it by much and only if theyre looking def.

wondering
why do you want to use the tiger bloom?
it looks better without it

after another look
im not sure I would mess with the extra additives at all theres a good bit of zinc and Mn in the microbrew and it could be an issue
you could add maybe 5mls total to a 30 gallon mix but that's it or it pushes the Mn and Zn up high
theres already plenty of zinc in the grow bottle

just keep it simple

leave the tiger bloom out

tiger bloom is just a fertilizer like all the others

it has NPK magnesium and iron
2%N
8%P
4%K

not much different than the "bloom" bottle only it doesn't have the N
0%N
5%P
7%K

tiger bloom wont do anything more or less than any other fertilizer containing NPK

theres nothing special about it

its just fertilizer
you give your plants the food they need to grow healthy and they give you good yields

tiger bloom is not steroids for your plants it wont make them grow bigger muscles it just adds more fertilizer
