What do you think the toughest part will be?

have u seen the list of growers were up against? there's some very good farmers here, and a lot of tough competition! my opinion, I'm a tad worried about getting smoked lol! some these guys have been growing longer than I've been alive!

shit like u for example! been here since 2010! lol

Take a look at their feeding schedule - you should be able to grow one plant with those 8oz bottles. I tried to do the math, and after re-reading it I realize I'm much too high for that! :)

What you said - that's why I asked the people that sell the stuff LOL

have you tried Google yet? I've always been 100% organic, (so I don't know shit about any feeding schedules) but recently started a solo cup challenge, and was Givin a full line from gh, the aurora line, I looked up on google, and found multiple recipes, and different ways to go about it! it's possible you can find yours as well by either Google or maybe their website! just a guess..

OK, I'll try again.
@Dyna-Gro ,
will this sample pack realistically get me through one soil grow?
  • For me, a dry 3 gallon pot will drink about 1.25 gallons with decent run-off.
  • Probable 4-5 veg feedings at .25-1.25gal, max of 4gal
  • Possible 8 flower feedings at 1.25gal or 10gal
  • Total possible 14 gallons per plant.
So will this sample pack mix 14 assorted gallons as required for one grow? Also, to help compute this, do you recommend starting out with "50% nutes" or some lighter strength than what is on your schedule like some companies advise?

Are you growing in soil or soilless?
It matters for dosing, but either way you have way more than enough to make 14 gallons of nutrient mix. Lets say you are growing in coco, because it takes more nutrients on the schedule. The highest amount of anything on the schedule is 5ml per gallon. If you are only using 14 gallons total, then ballpark, you have a lot more than 14 gallons worth.
That's cool that you can call out how many gallons you are going to use in your whole grow like that.

As for the dosing %, the schedule is a recommendation. Plants differ so much. Are you running a spindly 3 leaf sativa or a mountain of an indica, or both? They would feed differently is my point. So the same dosage for both might burn one and underfeed the other.
Most people start at 50% of any nutrient as general rule of thumb as an insurance so they don't fry their plants. Then they start working their way up over time to see what the plant likes.

It's the weekend, so you can keep asking the question, but they probably aren't going to answer it any faster.

It is in FoxFarms soils, and I just figured the gallons on the fly - that-s why it was typed out, I added as I went LOL, and with the small pot if doesn't take much.

As far as plants feeding differently, I go by the schedule. I hate that most schedules assume you will know to start "light" instead of just having that in the darn schedule :)

And the original question was posed mid-week LOL

I have the schedule, just figured it would be easier to ask them than do math.

It wasn't meant to be harsh, but I could see how it could be taken that way. I'm by no means an expert or even know what I am doing, nor do I claim to be.
