There really is no need while in veg, bigbloom is a bud sweller and since there are no buds there is no need for it yet. You can feed it a little a few weeks before flowering so it will prep for flower. I start to feed small amounts for bloom nutes and increase sweets 2 weeks or so before going to flower. But I am really new at this so more experienced growers may say different.
thanks for the reply, will see what others say

WRONG WRONG WRONG.
fox farms bigbloom is there base nutrient and should be used all the way thru, check the feed chart, they even recommend for seedlings and cuttings http://foxfarmfertilizer.com/index.php/frontpage/feeding-schedules.html

the name is very misleading, but that is the way fox farms nutes work.

Well if you read the description on what big bloom does it is for increased bud growth. Companies want you to use as much of their product as possible so you will buy more. For example if you feed the recommended amounts on the feeding charts you will nute burn your plants, they want to to feed more so you go threw it faster so you will buy more. Like I said you can feed light amounts in veg to prep the plant for bloom. I start to feed bloom nutes 2 weeks before flower but I feel there is no need at the start of veg. JMO.

that chart wasn't made for every ones soil. fyi. you don't need bigbloom in veg, but I would use tiger bloom, with grow big, in grow or bloom. If money was tight and couldn't get all three.

i use a pro-mix growing mix and use the big bloom as a soil conditioner and use all the way through the grow. and the name is a little misleading.
as far as money being tight, you can get the trio pack of all 3 bottles for pretty much the same price as buying the grow big and tiger bloom seperate.

ouch i also picked up the trio of the solubles. they last forever. also if you use the big bloom you will need to buy another quart before the grow big and tiger bloom are gone.
