So Im on my first grow. Started out with OF and just grow big and tiger bloom. Got big bloom halfway thru flowering and she is booming. This is her 2 weeks ago, roughly at week 6. She's been thru a little stress, not gonna lie.


I've been reading up on foxfarms open sesame, chaching and beastie blooms and they make it sound like a trashy romance novel for weed.

U all think its worth the kind of steep price? its not outta the budget, just a little over priced at my local shop. $40 a pop i think

Red Fury~ I have used the FF trio set for many years and it is totally worth going over budget if had too (try ebay, cheaper). The Open Sesame I start 1 week before going 12/12 then 3 weeks into 12/12 then I go Beastie for 3 weeks then of course the Cha Ching that really makes the trichs glisten.
I am organic now but if you look into my album you will see past grows with FFOF ~ Whole line up.

I've used FF soils and solubles, but not all of them.

I think Light Warrior is a great starter soil, but I wouldn't use it all the way through the cycle alone. Definitely nice to mix with FFOF.

I personally dont care for the FF Happy Frog. I used it completely last round, and just thought it was too compact. Probably not loose enough down deep for good root growth. I even cut with 20% perlite this time with FFHF. But who knows, maybe my test is altered because i put soil amendments in the FFHF, and not the same amendments in the coco that im doing mostly now. Other than Mycorrhiza, which went into both mediums.

I can definitely see a HUGE difference in plant happiness in coco vs soil. hands down coco is killin it.. but this isn't the thread for that. My point is, stick to FFOF.

My only question though. Beastie Bloomz: I have some left over from last soil grow. It says mid 2 final weeks of flower. Its a 0-50-30. I'm almost at 3 wks into flower running Blue Dream mostly. But I have some Headband and Sour Diesel in FFHF mix again. Can I go ahead and start doing 1/2 strength of Beastie Bloomz? then ramp up to label strength? is the consensus even to follow label strength? I always try to gauge by the look and responsiveness of the plant, but just curious.

with the soil, I'm currently using Cutting Edge Micro, Bloom, and sometimes EarthJuice HiBrix? the molasses stuff. When do I mix the Beastie Blooms in ? at the end of the nute lineup?

I would start using the B.B. at full strength and just watched plants. After all your mix is in add the BB and check the ph before feeding.

Hello everyone:weed:, i am a first time grower using FFOF, happy frog nutes, grow big and big bloom in 20 and 30 gallon planters outdoors. I plan on using tiger bloom and the 3 pack solubles when they start to flower( will have to post pics later)bongsmilie. A friend just got some Cha Ching and plans on using it throughout the flowering period, is this a good or bad idea:?:
