Question about switching nutes

I have decided to switch my flowering nutes from Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Bloom to Foxfarm Tiger Bloom.

So the dude at the store said that the Tiger Bloom is part synthetic nutes and is stronger than the Botanicare Bloom so I need to be careful not to burn/shock my plants. He also said that organic nutes show a higher ppm then there truly is because of the solids floating around.

I was feeding about 700ppm Bloom in 2liters of water then also adding Botanicare Liquid Karma 700ppm in another 2liters of water all ph'ed to about 6.5ish about every 3 or 4 days.

So the question is what advice do you all have about introducing the new nutes?? What do you recommend that I do the ppm at for the first new watering and I do think I want to continue doing the Liquid Karma since its an attitive right?

Well any advice would be great thanks.

Specs on grow: 6 female white lightning clones from my mommies, running a 400watt HPS at 11/13(saves power) temps are always under 84* during days. I flowered them after vegging clones for about 1 week after rooting. they have been flowering now for about 2 weeks

I used to use Botanicare and I stopped because it was too strong. I was allways overdosing my plants. Unless something has changed the Tiger Bloom is not stronger then PureBlend. I have a friend that uses Tiger bloom with no issues! I use Grow Big in veg and my plants love it. I use ph buffered nutes in flower so I dont have ph issues. Over ferting causes deficencys so dont go over 50% nutes till late flower and you will be fine with most nutes.

if you think botanicare is to strong mix it with a little extra water...also you could water your plants with just straight water inbetween feedings to help reduce nute levels in your soil:joint:
