I want to hit my garden with some Fox Farms Big Bloom but it says it is for flowering..how can if they are flowering or not? They have had nothing but the MG that was in the soil I bought at the beginning on 5/11/09...any help would be sweet...thanks folks....

Dude they dont look like they are flowering yet. Use some grow big from Fox Farm, then when flowering starts you should use Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom together. Fox Farm web site has nute guide to go by. Good luck!

thanks man thats what I was looking for....

Yeah man there's good shit in big bloom. It's organic, you're not going to hurt anything giving it some extra phosphorus now.

Give them a good sized (25-30ml/gallon) dose and maybe another in a week and as soon as you get some good organic veg fertilizer hit them with that at half+ strength....then again a couple weeks after they start flowering. Start using the big bloom (and and whatever else you're using if applicable) when you start to notice good pistil development and then use it through flowering as the ff feeding chart dictates.

Sound good?

thanks man...I will def start in that right away

You can use Big Bloom throughout the entire grow. Here is a link to the feeding chart http://foxfarmfertilizer.com/soilfeed.pdf
The name Big Bloom is sorta misleading. It's not the potent bloom buster that the name implies. According to the feeding chart you are supposed to use LESS of the big bloom once your plants start to flower.

it says 2tbl spoons per gallon..should I be giving each plant that much?

I never know how much to water..so Ijust soak the ground daily...no measureing....

You're welcome, man.

I think you're cruising now...can't wait to see them in bloom.

Me either...I will keep updated pics....

How much is a tablespoon like 15ml? Yeah I remember I used a 30ml syringe when I used ff to make feeding easy.

I'd say that you shouldn't need to water that often. Especially if it rains at all. I have a few that I haven't seen in over two weeks and it hasn't rained in like a week but I'm sure they're fine. But none of the pics look overwatered so idk. Roots need oxygen though and cannabis likes its soil to dry out a bit between waterings. I'd say if it's all the way dry 3 inches down it's time to hit them. Since you have the opportunity to water whenever pretty easily I wouldn't give em over a couple gallons at a time.

I don't water until the top couple inches of the soil feels dry, and then I give them a good soaking. You don't want to keep them soaked all the time. Also, the Big Bloom is organic and it's going to attract animals. I used Big Bloom for the first time a few weeks ago and the next time i checked on them there were holes dug in all of my containers, something got through my fishing line fence. I started spreading my urine around the grow area and they haven't been bothered with since. Good luck, I can't wait to see some pics.

Thanks guys!!!!!!!
