foxfarm 2tsp.png

speaking in terms of NPK only

this is 2tsp per gallon or 10mls

its high and could cause salt to build and nute burn

but the ratio is good for veg it just to much

fox farm veg 1tsp.png

this is 1tsp/ 5mls per gallon
this is a good ratio for veg and what I would feed for veg if I was you

if your feeding this for veg and you see yellowing at the bottom fan leaves bump your dose up from 5 to 7.5mls per gallon

foxfarm proper flower.png

this is what you should be feeding by the second week of 12/12

it requires the tigerbloom
without it your feeding veg nutes during flower

do not feed more than 4mls per gallon of grow and 4mls per gallon of tiger bloom or you might get salt build up

this doesn't take into account your calcium and magnesium which you will likely need to also add a cal mag product at im guessing maybe 5mls per gallon but since I don't have the numbers for the content of calcium and magnesium in the grow and tiger bottle I cant be specific

if you want to provide those numbers I can sort out your calmag needs more specifiv

So do i need to go buy the tiger bloom or is it too late?? When i bought my light from a friend he just gave me everything he had in a box so i just started trying to use it. But hey they dont look that bad just wannt get stuff right is all.

you got some buds there
I wouldn't be too bumbed
youll do better next time

if you have the time and your able to get the tiger bloom then for sure do it

if not don't sweat it just give it water until its done and it is what it is

if you do go get the tiger bloom

im sorry I cant recall if you've already flushed.. if you've been feeding plain water then start feeding the bloom formula that includes the tiger

if you fed nutes recently then flush them out with plain ph'd water and then on your next watering start with the bloom formula that includes the tiger

plan to get the calmag product also

if you really want to dial it in
you should provide me with the % amounts of the magnesium, calcium, and iron on all of your products when you get them so I can tell you how much cal mag to add

you get this part correct and youll be growing killer kill kill

which cal mag product will you be using? just so we can make sure I got it right

I think botanicare calmag is common maybe??

What medium are you growing in, soil, coco or hydro? Are you checking PH? What type of water are you using? All these things are important factors. To me it looks like nutrient lock out from ph imbalance. I grew a nice healthy batch with fat buds using only pure blend pro grow formula throughout all of the grow but that ratio is 3-2-4. But I think if ph was right or water quality was on point you wouldn't be experiencing yellowing. I mean running 6-4-4 you shouldn't be seeing yellowing at all and adding flowering nutrients would change that.

The feeding schedule is for plants in general not just weed and its a recommendation not law, its up to you to find out what your plant is lacking and correct it. Even in weed there are strains that flower from 7-15 weeks so just imagine feeding a plant nothing but bloom nutes for 4 months

Fox farm is good, you definitely need tiger bloom and a calmag additive, the big bloom is not really necessary from my personal xp.

Flushing is a bad idea, if your plant is yellowing from top to bottom (new growth) then it could be mag or the lights too close - if its from bottom up then its N thats deficient.
Ph issues can also cause symptoms
