Hey, Im starting my second indoor grow after several years of outdoor growing, so im a little new to it. This time around I have a great setup including a 400w HPS system, ventilation, and feminized white widow, LSD, red dragon, auto haze, and auto roadrunner- all from barney's farms.

Any I have two questions:
1) Im looking at the tri pack of liquid fertilizers. I see that "grow big" is used for the vegging state, and then there is two blooming ferts. Big Bloom (.01-0.3-0.7) and Tiger bloom 2-8-4. Whats the point of having two similar budding ferts? and Whats the point of using big bloom when tiger bloom is much stronger???

2) Suppose I were to use these 3 ferts, and then wanted to switch to Fox Farm's heavy duty budding fertilizers... such as cha ching, or beastie bloomz. Those heavy duty ones have NPK ratios of like 9-50-10. Would this be too strong to jump to after using there weaker line of fertilizers earlier in the grow??

thanks.

Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom are not really similiar. Big bloom is organic and is not exactly a bloom fertilizer as well, it's used throughout the whole grow. The whole FF line is made to work together. Adding the boosters is actually not a strong jump in respect to the base nutrients, which according to the FF grow schedual are very aggressive. I have used it, good products but hyped up a lot. If you decide to use it, go 1/2 strength of what there feeding schedual says.

thanks guys. So in an attempt to save some $$, Im thinking the best bets would be to buy grow big, big bloom, and then one of the heavier budding ferts. I figure the budding one takes care of budding, grow big takes care of vegging, and big bloom ill use all throughout. thoughts?

Im thinking that not responding at all would be more helpful then responding with this. Im not sure where to post these questions but since im trying to go organic I figured it would be a good idea to post these TWO simple questions in the ORGANIC section. I think that makes sense, dont you?

Yes. My comment was directed at posts recommending chemical supplements in an organic forum. You accepted those recommendations so my point is made. But, carry on with your 'organic' grow and I'll unsubscribe from the thread.

He was talking about using the whole FF line, which isn't fully organic. So i didn't really recommend using chemical fertz.
