Got my Tiger Bloom in today. It's my 2nd week of flowering beginning today and i've been using a 10-15-10 fert mixed into my water. The TB is 2-8-4. It calls for 4 teaspoon per gallon for "heavy feeding."
I assume it is not time to be heavy feeding so i mixed 3 teaspoons in 1.5 gallon water. Should this do the trick when watering 235mL every 48hours in 3 gal soil?

yeah I use the same thing and my chart says To use 2 teaspoons per gallon, with two tablespoons of big bloom. Now the big bloom is easy on ph but the tiger bloom will make your water way acidic. Please tell me you checked your ph? Write back and we will help you, but my babies in my link are moving into 9 th week flowering and I have religiously used fox farm.

watch the ph level after you add nutes to the water.

here is a link to the chart you need..........

ok when I wrote this the site was down, but keep trying. They have a chart and all the nutes you should use and when.

good luck~

yes i started checking ph and soil moisture levels the 3rd week of veg. the ph right before adding the fert was about 7.8. afterwards it came out to be 6.7-6.9.

should i nute every water feeding or alternate on and off? what about foliar feeding?

the ph of the water reservoir after mixing in the nutes came out to be exactly 7. this is a good sign, no?

i haven't checked the ph of the water yet. it's about 6.5. the soil, again, is at about 6.8 for most of the plants now.

yeah you can check the soil by running water and nutes through it and collecting the run through water from the bottom and checking it. Crude but it works. and the ph should be around 6.0-6.5. I feed my babies everyother watering until they got real strong then I went with every until the flush that I am doing right now...............

did you get the chart from foxfarm?

good luck~

yeah pot likes to grow in a bit more acidic soil so like 6.0-6.5 would be ideal. Check the FAQ section to double check me on that!

cool yea i just looked through all that last night. i woke up this morning and saw beautiful white hairs on my big NL x Haze. i don't think i can even go back to sleep now.

i flushed all plants before flowering and i was using pretty heavy nutes before (shultz). with the way things have gone, would it be a mistake to feed every time i water at this point? this is week 2 of flowering, week 7 & 8 from seedling.

i use foxfarm soil, with added indo bat guano. grow big and superthrive, nitrozyme for folier feed. i dont use tigerbloom, i use open seasme, cha ching and beastie blooms. big bloom once a month or so. i dont like tiger bloom. just my preference. IMO it left a tainted taste on my bud, even when flushed. anyway the point of the post is the veg nute i use. if you can, you should not use it on one plant, as an experiment. peace and happy growing

i'll take your advice on two females. i haven't grown before, if that's not obvious already, so hearing that tiger bloom doesn't taste so good it's worth it not to use on a few plants.

do u think the schultz 10-15-10 will do a decent job for flowering or is that too much nitrogen? i could always just use it lightly. what if i flush a tiger bloom plant 3 weeks before harvest instead of just 2? i really want some dank.

dont get me wrong the buds were dank, just, with a hint of this taste that i didnt like, i only used it on the plants that were a couple weeks behind the other ones, so the first batch was fine and the later harvest wasnt. ithe only thing i did different was the tiger bloom. anyway i dont use shultz on anything except grass and flowers.

i got my fert. shit figured out but i had to ditch about nine of those plants in the previous pics. i have three about 2.5 footers about to go into flowering soon and one that's already been flowering for 2 and 1/2 weeks.

i'm using tiger bloom once a week at 1tsp/gal solution, but with only 1 cup of water. big bloom i'm using every other watering.

I have to ask, is it always necessary to grow with so much sophistication? I'm growing outdoors in pots with good soil(fox farm) and am nuting right now with organics. When they start to bloom I will give a high phosphorus source and probably some molasses a few weeks into flowering. As long as they stay healthy looking, isn't that good enough? Some of what you all talk about seems so complicated, even though you're growing in soil... I thought the complicated formulas were for hydro grows but I guess not. It just seems like so much you have to try to keep in balance and I'm just trying to let "nature" do its thing. Am I missing something about what it takes to produce good weed?

Don't get me wrong, I'm into it and I've seen some amazing bud pics from the good growers but I just don't have the facilities to grow indoors and even if I did I would hope it's easier than growing outdoors and getting soil, pots, water and nutes to my site. It just sounds like some of these setups are working so hard to keep tabs and everything in balance.

well it realy seems hard but it isnt. If i can do it and produce some quality tatsy buds , then anyone can. For me I guess I am a bit geeky and nerdy and I like to think and concentrate as well as contimplate what I am involved in. I like the science behind it all and the learning.

lol different strokes for different folks.........
