Feeding the girls in my life... little help plz...

Ok all you crazy new American Freedom fighters, here's my question, this is the first soil grow I've done (indoors) with fox farm nutes, I'm wondering how much you guys dilute this feeding schedule?
I just started flowering and I've been going very very easy on the gals so far, they are looking fine so I haven't bothered kicking it up yet but I'm ready too now... I just ordered the tri-pack of supplements and it should be here shortly. The only thing I've used so far is the Grow, but I'm seeing here that I should've been using the Big Bloom with it for the past few weeks. So starting next feeding how much should I dilute the 2 tea spoons of Tiger Bloom and 1 Table spoon of Big Bloom? I'll throw in the open sesame when it comes in the next week...
Something like 1 tea spoon of Tiger and 1/2 a table spoon of Big Bloom in one gallon of water to start, or more? Just wondering what has worked well for you guys/gals?
Plants are Thai Super Skunks.

Wow, so 40 people have had no input what-so-ever?

I don't use fox farm ferts, but if you give me the NPK % of the blooming and veg ferts, I will give you my opinions.

Grow 6-4-4
Bloom 0.01-0.3-0.7
Tiger 2-8-4
Open 5-45-19
Beastie 0-50-30
Cha Ching 9-50-10

The feeding schedule that I used, cut in half, is right here right here:

PS ~ At this point she's hurt, with much evidence

juz follow the guide it pretty accurate i did it like dat and sum nice dense buds with ALOT of trichomes maker sure u feed every other watering

With any plant nutrient, I always start with a diluted mixture of 25% what the bottle tells you. Then you can slowly start to kick it up, and as long as you don't see any burn you can go to 50% mixture. But, I would not go more than that. Feed every other watering.

Its very easy to correct a deficiency, but it is not so easy to recover from a bad nute burn. Less is more when it comes to nutes and marijuana.

Also, nutrient uptake is very strain specific. So experiment, and apply the knowledge you gain to your future grows.

Good luck!

So far the exp is either don't use fox farms again, or dilute that shit 1/8 ans work up too 1/4 strength, Thai Super Skunks are getting burnt up!

Man I'm so glad I read this thread, I've been feeding my plants 1 Tablespoon to a Gal for a week of Tiger Bloom.
I guess I should CUT BACK, so far they seem to handle it, not alot of yellow leaves yet.
I might go with straight water for a few days and give them a little rinse and go to 1 Tsp per Gal.

What's racking my mind is that other people are using half to full strength nutes and doing fine! Some plants like more nutes then others, I know that's true, and in my research I've even read a few people that said that Sativa's liked to be fed lighter.... still some people growing this exact strain have stated that they've fed it upwards of 1500ppms and it took it like a champ.... so that leads me to believe that I did something else wrong besides feed to much, possibly I locked out some nutes by not watering with enough run off, I am guilt of not giving a very flushing water when I would do my water/feed/water schedule .... I hope changing that helps my issue, this is one monster plant and with every mistake I'm effecting a lot of potential smoke...

My Plants are doing fine and I know that some people give their plants 2xs more than I have.
I hate the idea that I might be hurting the Babies but I don't want to miss the opportunity of
getting the most for the time I have in them!!
They have Mites that I fight every other day with Neem Oil and that seems to help control them for now...
I have Hindo Skunk BTW.
Good luck with your Babies, and I am going to fulsh the last 2 weeks before I harvest. I won't flush till then
unless I over feed and they suffer alot, then it'll be a week of nothing but straight water.
Peace out

I do hydro but if I did anywhere near what AN calls for in a feeding schedule my plants would be ashes in a net pot. I just put my second grow into flower hours ago and started connoisseur bloom at like 500 ppm, I'll work my way up to possibly 900-1000 ppm with additives but I don't see how anyone is going over 1000 ppm with any type of nutrients. Although as I said this is only my second grow and I've only used AN stuff since day one so maybe some of these other ones aren't as harsh.

I've read that AN runs hot. I've also read that FF runs hot. I still figured doing what seems to work for the masses would be OK for me, I guess I was wrong, next time I'm going to try organics, I bet in 10 years I'll still have these bottles of additives.
