I just got big bloom, grow big and tiger bloom today. Yesterday was the start of week 3 so i just mixed 3tsp big bloom and 2 grow big. plan on watering tomorrow. I was just wondering if that sounds about right? im starting at week 3 of the feeding schedule at 1/2 of what it says. any advice would be helpful. I have never used nutrients and dont wont to burn my girls.

id start at 1/2 of req dosage what kind of soil you using? in most soils that fox farms have should sustain plant feeding for a month or more
i have used the ocean forest soil with great results take it easy on tiger bloom and grow big, big bloom is one of my favorite organic plant food
beside earth juice bloom

Timewalk is right. The first time use half strength. Make sure you wait till your soil is dry before watering again. Start seeds in wet paper towels on a plate but not to wet. Cover with another plate put in a warm dark place. Check on them periodically. When they open pick them up with some tweezers instead of your fingers. Drop root down in your soil (Fox Farms ocean forest) in a 4 inch pot. I use a shop light from walmart with t8 tubes. Water your dirt before you put your seeds in only about a 1/2 inch deep cover and spray a little water on top put under lights about 1 inch under the light. You don't need nutes for at least 2 or 3 weeks. Transplant after 3 weeks to the pot you are going to grow them in. If you use fox farms nutes get a feeding schedule when you buy. If you don't understand them ask before you start. To much water and nutes will kill. Leave the seed hull on the stem please when the break open.

Thankfully FF is heavy on organics which are alot easier on the plant then synthetic fertilizers. that being said i know one of the trio is greenish and that would burn quick.
Oh and im pretty sure it says somewhere on the bottle it says not to mix the nute concentrate? prolly no adverse affects tho

I use FF Hydro nutes, so I'm not at all familiar with soil, although the regimine schedule on the bottle is generally for heavy feeding, however not necessary. This way, you use more nutes, your run out more often, then you purchase more of their nutes - it's basically a sales tactic. If you follow the schedule, you won't burn your ladies...especially in week 3. Anything past 2 weeks, is generally ok (at least from what I've found through trial and error).

peace,

ran ff gear for years i hated it, had tons of micro deficencies, most strains can handle it at half strength but hydro i ran it full strength @ 1750ppm in a aero/nft system, now i use Dutch Masters gold line way cheaper i can run 3-4 cycles with a less then a few hundred buck maybe 50-60$ each cycle in nutes
