Ok, so on the back of the bottle it says use 4 tsp per gallon. and on the feeding chart I got from my hydro store it says use 1 tsp per gallon.

What is everyone else using


edit: I am talking about Fox Farm Big Bloom, not grow big.

I think you might be confusing a couple of products. Grow big is not organic and doesn't bat guano or worm castings in it. Big bloom does, however.

For veg I have been using 5ml grow big and 35ml big bloom to every gallon, however that works out in tsp.

Oops! I Was just really high!!

What I meant to ask about the Big Bloom, not the grow big.

Thanks a lot.
Thirty-five milliliters are 7 teaspoons.

I've been using 1 every gallon, and you're using seven. My feeding chart says use 1 every gallon, but the bottle says to use 4.

Now im even more confused then before.

Are you sure it doesn't say tbsp and not tsp?

I think I'm going to go look it up because I'm confused now.

Edit: Okay fuck that it's taking too long. If I was at home I'd look at the bottle, but I'm pretty sure it recomends 1bsp/gal for foliar feeding, 2tbsp/gal for average feeding, and 4tbsp/gal for heavy feeding. 4tbsp is like 45ml if I'm converting right, so my feeding is between a regular and heavy feeding as recomended by the manufacturer. It's organic, so it won't burn your plants, stop worrying so much about it and just start out around 20ml or so and work up depending on how your plants respond. I know I'm going to bump it up to 40-45ml, and add tiger bloom shortly, but I'll be cutting grow big to only 4ml/gal every fourth watering.

Hope that helps a bit.

damn, it does say tablespoon and not tsp.

The Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, Open Sesame, Beastie Buds, and Cha Ching all are measured in TSP, but the stupid BIG BLOOM is in TBSP. One tablespoon is three teaspoons. (1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoon)

Now I will start feeding correctly.

It's because it is organic, and plants can handle a lot more worm shit than they can pure nitrogen, ya dig?

If you hadn't mixed up grow big and big bloom, then you might not have figured out that you mixed up tsp and tbsp :p

I figured that would be the reasoning, but I already heard its easy to burn your plants with too much bat guano so I got a little timid.

From now on I will be multiplying my bat shit feeding by 3! :)

Thanks for helping me work things out Angus! :P Plus rep for you, as thats my dogs name as well.
