Are you referring to hydro and soil trio?
If I had to buy just 1 set which should I buy? I'll have the other one by the time the next batch is starting.
Where's the cheapest place to buy???

LOL...just checked the calendar. 6 WEEKS, not 7.
And at 2 1/2 weeks in, I repotted to the 2nd/final pots with FFOM. Also added about 20% more perlite. Thus far I've been using turtle tank water, worked INCREDIBLE throughout my last grow, and 100% organic.
I plan on picking up some FF trio. Where's the cheapest place to find it?

Any other cheap tips? I'm on a major budget right now.

You could grab some molasses and the liquid trio,I use the molasses all throughout the grow in veg and flower. 1 tbs per gallon. The soluble trio doobieus was talking about is a little more expensive but does work! If anything try the liquid trio, "big bloom,grow big and tiger bloom" this round if you can't afford both. Then next grow you can use both and see the difference :) Either way you will be happy with the Foxfarms products and the 250hps!!
Honestly Im just using the liquid trio right now and I'm still getting awesome results!

Here's 2 of the 3 auto's I have "off to the side of the 250" under some cfl's aswell :)

Those autos look like they are 12/12 from seed. Nice
1 tbs of reg molasses per gallon?
Ok I'm gonna pick up that Trio just in time for flowering.

I always go through HTG supply, not sure if they're cheapest or not.

There are 6 Fox Farm nutrients in all both for hydro and soil.

Grow big, Big bloom (Only true 100% organic), Tiger bloom, Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz and Cha Ching.

The base nutrients are the Grow big, Big bloom, and Tiger bloom. The additions (which you will notice a big difference in performance) are Open sesame, Beastie bloomz and Cha ching.

Molasses make sure it is UNSULPHURED and black strap. Grandma's, Plantation and Brer Rabbit are all popular brands of black strap unsulphured molasses. I cannot stress enough, to watch for lock out when using molasses. Clearex is your friend, seriously.

The photos below are from a previous post I posted, these are photos from an old grow. This was with all 6 macro/micro trios. Yeah I was being lazy and really didn't want to go searching for pictures on my computer lol.

If you can only get one do like Treez said and get the base/macro set, because honestly if I were in your situation I'd do the same. Molasses has a lot of goodies, it's basically a carbo load for your plants.

Edit: Pardon the main cola shot, it's missing buds here and there. Lol yeah.... it happens when you run out of head stash.

How much molasses should I be using and how often?
My FF nute trio should be here by friday. Do I use molasses WITH the nutes or do I go every other?

1 tablespoon per gallon, and every other feeding (When you get more experience then push it to every feeding). You can use it with or without nutrients, you can also use molasses when flushing. It can create lockout through salt build up if you use too much so be careful. It will also create a lot of nitrogen consumption, so use it about half way through flower or when you start seeing trichomes appearing. Just be aware that if you start seeing nitrogen deficiencies just use a little Grow big to bump up Nitrogen. Ease into as with all additives/nutrients, so start with 1/2 a tablespoon and then bump up.

Hope this helps.
