++REP --- Is this enough nutrients?

I have Grow Big and Hormex Root Strengthener for veg and Big Bloom for flower. Is this going to be enough? And this is a dumb question probably, but when I mix these nutrients in a gallon of water, how much of that gallon do I give the plant exactly? By the way the Grow Big and Hormex are in a gallon by together. The Big Bloom is by itself in a gallon of reversed osmosis water.

Your nutes will get the job done. Additives will increase your yields and give you a better product but I don't know which additives fox farm makes to suggest any. But what you have will produce a nice product. In regards to how much to water, that is based on your plant and pot size.

You wanna give ur plants as much water as they need, till run off comes from the bottom. Also I hope ur not mixing ur nutes together and letting them sit for awhile. Mix as needed. I personally woulndt just use BB for flowering alone. It really should be used with another flowering nute also. Goodluck

What would you suggest as another additive or extra flowering nute?

I'm not using the Grow Big anymore. It's only Big Bloom in RO water now.-

Big Bloom isn't really a flowering nute. It's a weak organic fertilizer and will get the job done but you would have to use a shitload of it though. Tiger Bloom is Fox Farm's flowering nute. Fox Farms recommends using Big Bloom in addition to both Grow Big and Tiger Bloom in all phases of growth. Here is a link to the Fox Farms website which explains what Big Bloom is for. Hope this helps. :weed:

You don't need another flowering nute. Are you using soil? I'd spend a little money there instead of more nutes, you covered the basics

the grow big is for veg. and the tiger bloom is for flower. the big bloom is basically a soil conditioner and used during veg. and flower.
the additional additives i also use are the open sesame,beastie blooms, and cha ching.
i start out with like 1/4 strength and work my way up to around 1/2 strength and use nutes every other watering and plain water every other watering. if i start to see the leaf tips start to brown i cut back the nutes to every 3rd or 4th watering depending on what the plant needs. just by looking at the color of the plant, you can tell if its hungry or not.
i also use sunshine mix for the growing medium.
here is the soil feed chart but i have never needed to go full strength on the nutes but i use both the liquid and the solubles together.
