Figuring out nutrient regimen

Looking into getting my nutrient regimen down and was hoping for some advice as to not overdo it.

My current list for nutrients I have that will/can be used for veg and some flower as well are

1. Fox Farms Big Bloom
2. Fox Farms Grow Big
3. General Hydroponics Armor Si
4. Cal-Mag
5. Liquid Karma
6. Liquid Seaweed
7. Unsulfured Molasses

Specifically for flowering I just have Fox Farms Tiger Bloom currently.


Planning on going very light on the feeding, what would be my best way to figure out what all to use and what not to? Most seem a bit different from each other but dont want to overdo it!

Thanks!

What medium will you be using?
My go to for veg is
5ml Grow Big
5ml Cal/Mag
5ml potassium silicate
15ml Rhizotonic ( optional )
1gal RO

If you use Rhizo you will need to ph down, if you dont the mix is 6.0 to 6.2
Your poems will be 750 to 950 without rhizo.

This works great as an feed every time unless you medium is hot then you'll need to back down the GrowBig.

Notes: Karma in lew of Rhizo.
Seaweed and molasses as you see fit not exceeding recommended dosage.

I personally like foliar feeding seaweed
As you flip to flower start rolling up the Bloom and decreasing GrowBig.

Here is a quick write up I did after posting this. How do you think it looks? The "mL" in the top row should be tbs.
Comparing it to what you said this is on the higher side. I tried to tone down what was suggested on bottles but you think to go a bit lower than that?

I did use mykos/azos when transfering as well but have never used when watering and wasnt planning on it. Think I should?

I also have some fish shit and Real Growers Recharge microbial superpack to try at some point. Got overwhelmed when deciding on those too so threw them to the side haha.

Was curious on the seaweed and molasses... what are the signs that i need them? What exactly do those help with?

Thanks for the reply!

If you want I can put a schedule together for ya with those nutes but it will be very small amounts as FFOF is what I would consider warm amended soil. It's not super soil hot but very little nutes are initially required.
Seaweed is the bees knees. Plant growth hormones, trace minerals, and super carbs.
I love thrive alive green formula.
Molasses feeds the beneficial bacteria In your soil and it what I call the Organic Cal/Mag plus.
Use the Mycos as much as you can afford to as it takes time to build big colonies and it must have direct contact with the roots(endo Fungi) so multiple applications in a soil drench form will get it done...

That would be awesome man! Only if you have time, no rush or pressure to do that at all. I really appreciate the help. I'll keep that in mind and definitely give it some feedings with mycos as well then, have heard nothing but great things about the stuff.

Another question about this bigger lady. Do you think she is ready to top on both sides? My gut tells me she is but could very well be wrong!





Looks to me as if that top growth in the middle on each picture on each stem is ready to go, what do you think?

Obviously there are alot of ways to accomplish the same goal in growing.
I personally would FIM the 2 tops then LST them down allowing the nodes along the branches to come up.
No worries on the schedule. I'll put it together tommorow and post it in the evening.

Youre the man! Appreciate it. I've actually been debating between fimming and topping... Maybe ill do one on one side one on the other haha. But I will decide one or the other and LST them down tonight! Thanks again.

Working on the chart but until then you can use the mycos/carbs/ and karma and foliar with the seaweed

Thanks again man. Ended up giving a very very light feeding of molasses and big bloom yesterday, everything looking good so far. Had a small unfortunate event with the cat getting at a leaf for a few seconds hahah, not much damage but a big lesson learned! Could have turned scary quick.

Not to rush things at all but would you recommend anything ontop of the big bloom for first couple weeks feeding? Was thinking the molasses/seaweed in small doses shouldnt be a problem but im not 100%.

Cheers!

Couple updated pictures after topping and training. Going to transplant the ones in the cups very soon. Any suggestions on what to do with the one in the corner that is awfully lanky with just the top leaves?







EDIT- After researching some...I think i may have FIMMd more than topped it. Topping seems to be cutting more at the main branch going up and taking a good bit of growth off?

Here you go

Ya, that should be a problem.
FFOF has most of what your plant need already so unless you have been in the same container for a while it problem best to add very little but you can pound the myco if you want and add a tiny bit of Mol/Sea.
With ffof you are good till about 6 weeks of use then you can slowly roll on adding nutes "if" the plants can take it and more importantly if they really need it...

Hoping you meant "shouldnt be a problem" hahah. Plants looking good today still. Feel like the smaller ones in the solo cups arent growing much. Not seeing any roots out the bottom yet but thinking I will transplant within a few days to a week as they've been in the cups for a couple weeks now.

Top picture is a little harder to see but in the bottom one it definitely looks like i did more of the topping cut, cutting it near the bottom and not midway on the growth.

Possibly powder mildew and not much new growth from the topping..the problems continue! Hoping growth just needs more time. Looking more into these white spots.
