Hey everyone this is my first grow and I just started but I have a question about fox farm feeding schedule. It says to add these nutes to a gallon of water but that's ALL it says. Do I add all my nutes for that week in the same gallon of water and use that gallon through the week? I'm only doing 2 dutch mazar passion fem plants and I don't think it will require a whole gallon in just one watering!! Thanks for the help! O and I will be starting nutes the 3rd week since I have have the nute rich ocean soil also will be starting nutes 1/4 strength and work my way up. Thanks for the answers!!

Mix your nutes when needed, I wouldn't let them sit around. Mix up a qt. instead of a gal- 1/4 the amount used for a gal. And yes start off feeding low doses until you see your plant can handle more. I didn't go exactly by the FF schedule. I just used it as a very general guideline, but others have stuck to it exactly and had good results. I think it depends on your setup and your strains. Google more about FF nutes, there's tons of info from people using them. GL.

Yes mix when you need them. I have had problems with roots and believe its from nutrients sitting around mixed for weeks. I use cheap plastic pipets to mix 16 oz batches for my small pots. Or as suggested above make 32 oz batches using a 1/4 teaspoon instead of a full teaspoon as directed on schedule and use within a week or toss. I have used fox farm trio for several grows and like it when used right but if plant is not nute friendly it will F em up bad. Go easy at first. Remember you won't kill them giving them to little. Yo WILL in fact fry them if too strong. Have fun, keep it simple and grow on.
