For indoor growing that is not low.

Pardon me for interrupting you dirt haulers, but you are growing in dirt, aren't you? And some pretty good dirt, too, in most cases. So why are you feeding with every watering? I've never used Foxfarm, but I'd say that is too much. Even at 1/4 strength, that is too often to feed.

If you're feeding every time, how is it different from hydro?

In soil, let the plants roots search for food and water, and that will increase the root mass, and the plant will be bigger, and so will the buds.

And you are watering too often too. No matter what your pot size, and plant size, you should let the entire pot dry out before adding more. The only way to know when that time is, is to withhold all water until the leaves start to wilt. Water then and the leaves will perk right back up. Note the time required, and you have your watering timing.

hmmmm interesting. So what do you think about watering once or twice a week under normal conditons? and if it rains a lot, skip the watering that particular week? Maybe giving ff nutrients only once a week, maybe half strength?

LOL what do you think about that?

I have one plant in a 5 gallon container and I water it maybe once a week to give you an idea. Also the way I do my ferts is 1/2 str almost every watering When I notice fert burn at the tips maybe 1-3mm of it I use water for the next watering.

half stregth would be 1/2tsp right?

For outdoor plants that are in the ground, potroast makes a valid point.....inground plants that have decent soil do well in searching for nutrients and water on their own. Benign neglect. I give my plants that are in the ground ferts only a couple of times a season. Depending on your climate you may have to water them, but I would only use water. let them get bigger by not feeding them! Unless your native soil sucks.....(you can test it,or have it tested.)

Container plants are a whole different situation.....I feed with almost every watering, outdoor container plants can take almost twice the dilute strength of fertilizer as the same plant indoors, even under a 1000 watt! The suns energy translates to more rapid growth and the corresponding need for more nutrients to grow big and strong. I use a "soilless" soil for my outdoor containers....no dirt....ProMix BX....so I add all of the nutrients.
Start off with a weaker fert mix and increase as plant shows robust growth without burnt tips.


IMO, Foxfarm is overpriced, I get same, or better results from less expensive mixes.

Fox Farm might very well be over priced but in my little tiny head if it works I am happy with it. Sometimes I am so simple minded. LOL

mogie, you are absolutely correct, Foxfarm works very well!
It will grow strong vigorous plants and potent sticky buds.!

The directions say 2 tablespoons to a gallon of water, weekly, not every 14 days.
