I was just wondering how you all use your fox farms liquid nutes.. this goes for Grow big, Tiger bloom, Big Bloom only. Please post amounts /per gallon, type of fert, how often etc w-e. just wanna get an idea of how you all do yo thang. I currenty do 1 tsp per gal for veg of grow big, occasionaly throwing in some big bloom for some extra micronutes. For flower i do 1 tblspoon of Big bloom and 2 tsp of tiger bloom per gal.

I just follow the instructions on the bottle... Seems to work well enough.

I go by what is in the directions with no problems

i was told to start off with 1/4 of the dosage on the paper that came along with the nutes as fox farms nutes tend to be a little hot, and to feed every other watering... after a week i was told to increase dosage by another 1/4, so that after four weeks of feeding they would be getting full strength of the recommended dosage.. i was also informed to wait atleast two or three weeks from seed before introducing any kind of nutes to them, and it seems to work out well.. i thnk my full dose is 3 tablespoons of the grow big and three teaspoons of the bigbloom, but it varies according by the week..
if you need, i could go and get my feeding schedule that came with the nutes and tell you what it says if you don't have one..
i was also told to get the additives.. the cha ching beastie blooms and open sesame as these really increase yeilds and your plants will love them.. the schedule only calls for a really small amount of these as they are way strong..
but like i said, if you need it, i would be more than happy to post the feeding schedule from the paper if needed..

3 tablespoons of Grow Big??? No wonder you think the nutes are "hot". For "heavy feeding" the bottle suggests 2-3 TEAspoons per gallon once every 2 weeks!

I stick with the 1 teaspoon per gallon for every feeding, and it does really well.

My Hydro shop was out of Tiger and Big Bloom, so I use a different company for flowering, but I'd probably still just follow the directions.

FOX FARMS SCHEDULE

Product list:

Grow Big--$16
Tiger Bloom--$16
Big Bloom --$16
Open Seseme--$23
ChaChing--$23
Beastie Bloom --$23
And the Optional : Bush Doctor Sledgehammer--$26

There is a 3-pack available for $65 of Open Sesame, Cha Ching and Beastie Bloom IF you can find it!

The last 4 Products are used in small quantities and only at specific times during the grow -- so if you know someone who wanted to go in on the 3-pack with ya, it would be worth it!

Here's the FoxFarms Feeding Schedule for Soil... Hydro is MUCH more complex, unless you use bubblersthen you can follow a Phasic feeding schedule (At end of weekly schedule!)

use 2 drops per gallon of water between feedings starting in week 4 of 12/12



PHASIC SHEDULE: (per gallon)

Week 3 of 12/12Add ¼ tsp Beastie Bloom
Week 5 of 12/12Drain and refill reservoir Add 2 tsp Grow Big + 1 tsp Tiger bloom + 1 TBS Big Bloom + ¼ tsp Cha ching
3-5 Days Before harvest-- Drain and refill reservoir add 2 drops Sledgehammer


keep the res filled in between feedings with ph adjusted water--



The reasonFox Farms doesn't list nutes for weeks 2 & 4 is that it ASSUMES your res won't go down, so you won't NEED any additional nutes (if your res stays full- great!)..
but if the plants are pretty big, or the room is warm/dry-- they can need refilling up to 3-4x a week!!! The chart doesn't take that into account--
Remember-- feed AT MOST 1x each week-- only water in-between!
Use additional nutes from week one at 1/2 rate until in flower (between recomended feeds) then in flower-- for additional feeds, use the nutes from the 1st week of flower at 1/2 rate in between...again--NEVER feed more than 1x a week!

Bubblers MAY use the weekly Schedules-- BUT ONLY if you use an ec/ppm meter to keep the levels where they should be....
an ec around 1.2-1.5 in veg.. then 1.5 -1.7 in flower unlitt the last 2-3 weeks... then can go as high as 2.0. Watch yor plants! they'll tell you if you are over/under feeding!

+ reps and ty. looks like i have it down better than some of the people that posted lol. im doing soil/hydro so i have alot of annoying shit to remember.. thanks
