2.5 Weeks into Flowering in Fox Farm Oceans Forest.. Same Old Nute Questions

3.5 weeks veg time- 1 gallon containers, plants were about 3-7 inches when the lights were switched to 12/12....

now they are ranging from 9-15 inches still in the 1 gallon containers, i added some bone meal (almost non existent) to the top of the soil when they started flowering, also picked up a quart of big bloom- used on the last water at one cap per gallon, i have to assume im gonna need something to boost nitrogen and was considering grabbing some blackstrap molasses...

any other suggestions on something i can pick up on a budget- i still have the bone meal and the big bloom- gonna pick up the molasses in the next day or two, however i'm not familiar with its use (ie how often to use it)

any guidance is greatly appreciated family!!!!

also with how "light" big bloom is should i be worried about going full strength, the bottle says half cup per gallon for the first feeding and i used a cap full, can i go a little stronger? i feel like the girls are calling for it..

thanks again

It can burn pretty easily so go up very slowly and watch them closely. In terms of molasses it's 1 tbsp per gallon black strap unsulphered. I give it every 5th feeding or so and every 3-4 as I get toward the last 3-4 weeks to boost crystals which it will do very noticeably. That is a small container so your right you may need to keep feeding them addtionally but just keep and eye on burning. you could make a compast tea with some worm castings that you could by at your home and garden for fairly cheap. How big is your grow space and light?

my space is big, im running in between 370-390 act watts of cfl, but its a 3rd floor attic apt crawl-space and keeping temps constant will be impossible- so im trying to squeeze a run in before summer gets to me. Than its off to the next closet at the new house...... and hopefully i get my 1k shipped out from san fran...( brand new in the box-bulb never used) this run was just to get myself back on my feet, been out of the loop for going on 2.5 years. so i picked up some cfl's and some "heady" bag seed... got 5 out of 7 females so im hoping for at least an ounce.. should be a safe estimate... but now im just trying tog et my nutes dialed in for the next "real" run

just mixed up a full strength dose last night... picking up some worm castings and molasses today, could i add the molasses into my plain water or mix it into the nute solution on the next feeding?

big bloom will not burn anything, i promise. check the npk, it's not like the standalone ferts. when i used ff ferts i always used it full strength starting around week 2 from seed. it's also not suitable as a stand alone flower fert, but if you are top dressing with other stuff you might be ok. big bloom is actually for throughout the grow, so the name of it is a bit misleading. it's designed to be used with the tiger bloom for flowering.

ty ty^^^

ya i know the nute value are trace to say the least (in the big bloom- i was talked out of tiger bloom by my local shop owner- he suggested big bloom- with cal-mag and molasses) i also know a N deficiency is right around the corner- i just picked up two bottles of molasses- first being Brer Rabbit- next being Grandma's gold standard-both of which are unsulphered- couldn't decide which to grab so i grabbed both.. deciding on which one to use hopefully with suggestions from the board...

Brer Rabbit- sodium 20 mg, potassium 180mg, total carb 16 g, sugars 13g.. serving size: 1 tbsp
Grandma's - sodium 20 mg, potassium 110mg, total carb 16 g, sugars 14g.. serving size: 1 tbsp

how much per gallon?? 1 tsp or 1 tbsp? and do i add it into my big bloom solution or with my plain water?
