I'm trying to get all my "facts" together before my next grow. First grow (still in progress) has been many up's and downs. My first mistake was not coming here for info and my second was not useing the right soil and nutes. Mirical Grow and an all perp. 20-20-20 nutes is NOT recamended, Daaaa!! I'm planning on getting FF ocean soil and the three pac FF nutes. I'm useing a 400w HPS with a 400w MH conve. bulb. My question about the FF nutes is... on the FF feeding schedule it apiers to me that thier saying to use 2tbls of BB per gal. from seedling to second week ,then 2 tsp of GB and 2 tbls of BB. in the second week, and so on.. in the 7th and 8th week thier saying to use GB-TB-BB, at the same time, Does this mean that i shoild be mixing 2tsp's of GB, 2tsp's of TG and 1tbl of BB "all together in a single gal.????? I DONT want to over Fert. and all that Fert. at any given time seems to be 'Alot" Some weeks they only call for 2 of the 3 ferts. My question again is DO I MIX the ferts together in one gal. at saqme time or give either or indavigly. I hope ive made my question clear enough to understand. Those of you who have used FF nutes will probaly understand and PLZ "NO GUESSING" , no disrespect to anyone but i;m looking for replys from plp who have used FF soil and nutes "ONLY" thanks to all who read and reply!! ps. also should i start with Full, 1/2 or 1/4 soulion and increes as weeks go on?? The more detailed you can be the better, i am new at this but realy want to learn!!
 
I'm guessing your talking about this chart ( http://www.foxfarmfertilizer.com/soilfeed.pdf ). If so thats really just a general thing. I mean I use all FF nutes but I don't follow that chart to the T. I feel its a little overkill on the nute cycle.....I mean I would never use all three nutes at the same time like it says in the chart. Because you can never reverse nute burn but you can always bounce back from nute deficiency for the most part. Just use the chart but also use your instincts man, you can tell what the plant needs by looking at it and spending time in your garden. Every grow is different. Hope that helped. Your never going to a step by step guide from anyone in here really.
 
Ya I use the FF line, and dont follow the schedule, just remember you need Grow Big for nitrogen to grow leaves and roots and stems, then you need tiger bloom to grow your flowers. I use ther big bloom thruout because its a good organic source of nutes and soil amendments and does help prevent salt buildup in the soil, and start at quarter-half strength and increase to your plants liking
