Big Bloom for seedlings?
I have 10 day old seedlings and some 4 day old seedlings.
I have them in ocean Forrest, can I start Big Bloom now, or wait a few weeks when I start Grow Big.
The FF site says to use it right away, but not any nitrogen nutes? Anyone with experience in this

Got to water tonight, +rep for some quick help

1/4 of just grow big. you really dont even need to start the nutes till a bit later with FFOF soil

Nutes are probably not needed in FFOF the first week or so, but I use them EXACTLY according to the schedule for soil on the FF website. I've been doing this for a while now and have been VERY happy with the results. Now with some strains you may have to back off at first and gradually increase the volumes, but with most indica-dominant strains just follow the schedule exactly as they recommend. And definitely use the Sledgehammer at the recommended times --- I'm on my first grow that is fully using the 3 new FF Bush doctor additives (well, 2 are ads and 1 is a flushing solution) and they have made a major difference so far, although they still have a while to go in flowering. My plants have never been this healthy and lush in the past!

BS your FFOF has ENOUGH NUTES in it alone to LAST the 1st MONTH. Start feeding 1-2 weeks before you flip to 12/12

he's only stating what the company says and what he does. Big bloom is very mild IMO and probably won't hurt them but probably not necessary. I have fed like 3 week old seedlings with it but now I just add it during flowering but it's not my primary source, I use the happy frog fert with the same NPK ratio as the tiger bloom.

anyone who claims to have burned a plant of any age with big bloom is either a liar or a horrible grower. big bloom is barely a fert. however at 10 days they shouldn't be at all hungry in that soil unless they are in tiny pots and have lots of roots already. i have used it on 2 week old plants with just the 3 fingered leaves and it was fine. feeding soley based on schedules isn't always ideal, especially on seedlings. feed based on whether the plant is hungry.

Well stated! In my particular case, following the exact schedule works extremely well (I've been running a perpetual grow for about 18 months now with my particular pheno), but your mileage definitely may vary! No 2 strains or phenotypes are quite alike. You have to find out what YOUR particular plants want and need. THAT'S what makes a good grower --- when you learn to properly read your plants and correctly anticipate and address their needs.

Good call, +REP

I've used B/b on seedlings and clones so its really your call. I would start your grow nutes around the second or 3rd week in the FFoF
