multiple nutrients, all at once...

Ok. To start off I have two clones in FoxFarm Ocean Forest, been in veg since mid of may. During veg they received tap water + fox farm grow big, and for the past two weeks have been receiving Grow Big and molasses.

My plants started flowering a few days ago so I decided its time for some bloom nutrients. I got Fox Farm Tiger Bloom, Fox Farm Big Bloom. Along with there 3 stage additives (free) because of a hassle I had with the hydro store selling me the wrong product.

I also purchased Advanced Nutrients Big Bud, a ph test kit and ph down as the tap water is VERY acidic here.

I was told that the Big Bud is only a supplement and isn't a base nutrient. The Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom supposedly work together very well and I was told to start using the Big Bud about 2.5 weeks into flowering.

Do you think this sounds sufficient? I've been getting the PH around 6.3 after adding the Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom together.

Any opinions?? Sorry if its kinda long..

Also, should I add the minerals that I received for free? I read up on them and it sounds like they do a lot during the flowering cycle doing certain things at certain times.

Thanks guys in advanced!!

everything seems to sound right..you made some good choice with the fox farm products and should be very pleased with the results...as for the trace minerals i would maybe research a little more on them before using them and if you seem like you know what to do and they help a lot then go for em!!! always good to experiment...as for the ph..it sounds just about perfect for the most part..just be carful when going up or down and make sure you go by the book...Not much help but if you have any more Q's ill be more than happy to try my best!

GOOD LUCK!!

damn that shits hot.


sounds good though. try one feeding then give it 3 days to see the full results. if it works keep doing. your outside so you aren't in a hurry, go slow. those high #'s scare me. i burn things. i tried fox farms once and burnt everything. i often feed double doses though so ........

i'd throw some more nitrogen in there to keep things green.

Im gonna give it a shot. Thanks FDD I knew I could rely on you.

I've used fox farm b4 and I think the tiger bloom and big bud plus the an big. bud are enough. The others pk are to high. It burns and turns ur hairs orange.
Use them lightly

Sounds good. I'll use it lightly and give the rest to my friends.
Thanks for the advice.
