Fox Farm Nutes....
- Thread starter GUINNESS180
- Start date
Depends what week his grow is on. He said Grow Big not Big Bloom to mix with Tiger Bloom. Big Bloom is used every time you add nutes. Grow big is only mixed with Tiger Bloom on certain feedings. Not every time you add nutes. Don't tell him you can mix Grow big and Tiger Bloom every time you add nutes or he will burn the shit out of his plants.

u dont know ur shit at all bro please if u don't know shut up lol. U use grow big with big bloom everytime ur gonna water ur plants using nutes during Veg which is every other water. Then once ur plants go into flowering u use tiger bloom with big bloom. Please read up b4 u speak
Reread the OP. First he never even mentions he uses Big Bloom. He asks about combining Big Grow and Tiger Bloom dumbass. And it depends on how often you water your plants on if you add nutes every time your water or every other time. And if you read what i posted I said you use Big Bloom every time you add nutes. Whether it's with Big Grow or Tiger Bloom. But "Big Grow" (not Big Bloom) and Tiger Bloom do NOT get mixed together every time you add nutes.

Instead of just thinking Grow Big is only for veg, look at it's NPK and then look at Tiger Bloom's NPK, then remember how it is still important to have N throughout parts of the flower cycle. During the beginning of flowering it will need and use a lot of nitrogen, and not having enough will lead to a deficiency and will hold back growth. A quick search on "nitrogen deficiency during flowering" or "importance of nitrogen during flowering" will support my statement.

Nice to see somebody thinking about horticulture and not just reading labels.

okay dude, here is the CORRECT answer that doesn't make any assumptions about what you already know
as you'll see some other people have the right answer but its not totally complete
step 1 - decide how much nutrients you need at the end - so like if you have a 30 gallon res you want filled, that means 30 gallons is your answer
step 2 - do the math and figure out how much of each nutrient your supposed to add to that much water - if your like me, write it down cuz i never remember it and have to do the math again
step 3 - fill the rez, or whatever your mixing nutes in, with water
step 4 - pour one measured dose of one nutrient into to water and stir it up
step 5 - repeat step four for all the other nutrients your using
you never want to have two liquid nutrients touching each other at full strength that they come in the bottle at
they are separated for a reason and the reason is theyll react with each other chemically and create sludge at the bottom (chemistry calls it "precipitate")
that precipitate wont dissolve no matter how much water you add so if you make that happen you just wasted nutes
Now... lets say you need 30 gallons but for whatever reason you dont want to mix it up in the reservoir... you want something more portable
Okay.
well you CAN mix nutes at high strengths - lower than whats in the bottle but higher than youd ever actually want to give to a plant
but exactly where the line is between application strength (X amount of nutes in 30 gallons of water) and bottle strength (X nutes, no water) that will cause it to precipitate is hard to guess
youd probably be safe mixing 30 gallons worth of nutes into 15 gallons of water - probably even 10 gallons maybe
but 5 gallons might be pushing it
again its gonna depend on the nutes and how many additives your using etc etc
also dont mix your nutes up way ahead of time
they dont store shelf stable as well mixed up
i know some guys will mix them up and keep them in the fridge or something but it takes up less room not mixed and it isnt that big a deal to just mix what you need when you need it

Thanks Aeroman, That's good info. I only have 2 plants now 1 AK47 on about week 6 and a Candy Kush on week 5. I usually get a 1 gallon jug, fill it with water, then put 2 teaspoons of FF Grow Big. I should have switched to FF Tiger bloom for the flowering. I Just bought some of that. I was using Grow Big and I had a separate gallon for my Cal Mag. I didn't know you can mix them together.... Now I do ! Thanks again.
