I am at about 3 weeks in to veg stage. I am getting ready to add nutrients. I will of course start out at half strength. My question is do I mix the liquid fertilizer with the Grow Big in the same feeding/watering. Or can you just use on of them. I have the fox farm trio.
My girls are starting to "cup" a bit and I thought it might be time for nutrients. Thanks for the knowledge.

I don't see perlite that's a problem. I add nutes when I see a bit of yellowing. You mix the nutes in 1 gallon of water.
 
I'd start of at 25% or maybe even 20% and slowly work up from there. I've been using Fox Farms with hydro for a little while but just did my first soil run. I'm about to harvest the soil plant and the one time I went above 25%, it burned my plant. I'm using Plagron soil if that matters. My plant ended up being my best grow yet so I've decided if it smokes as good as the hydro, then I'm going to go with soil from here on or at least for a while. From my experience Fox Farms is great but you absolutely cannot go by their feeding guidelines. Around 25% is what works for me in soil or hydro.

dont use any nutrients till your plant is 3 - 4 weeks old. Will cause it to die.

I disagree,every strain is different in the amount it eats and can handle. all of my plants were given 1/4 strength nutes after about it's second set of nodes.(Besides that he said they are 3 weeks)
@ T-bone I ran the entire FF lineup through 3 quarters of my grow following their feeding chart to a "T" not one single problem. I started at a 1/4 strength and worked up from there.Yes all nutes go into the same jug,if you are going to use the solubles as well,mix with a little bit of water first,and then add to the rest of your jug.Watch your Ph after the nutes are added,I let mine sit for another 12 hours and tested again.

I would use Big Bloom through the whole life cycle just like the schedule says,you won't regret it.If you want I can post a picture of the feeding schedule I have. I know they change it up sometimes,and this has worked for me.
 
Sweet chart..thanks sohigh...Ill try it out and let you know how it goes.Thanks to everyone for responses.
