Hey guys. been a while. had to ditch my 600watt setup for tons of cfls. long story but its what im stuck with for now.

anyways. i have the liquid foxfarm line so far. instead of dropping major $ on the solubles is there maybe another couple liquids i could buy? i was looking at snowstorm from humbolt....not too sure. any ideas??? or should i just fork over the money for cha ching, open ses, and beasty blooms???

Why do you feel like you need to buy a bunch of supplemental foods that may not even be utilized due to the amount of light that you'll be providing.... As your aware 600W to CFL's is quite the downgrade. For whatever reason, I'm sure it was a good one, but you don't need to try to pump them full of nutrients that they might not even use. Then you'll end up burning your plants, initiate lockout due to NaCl imbalance in the soil, OR adding only a very small amount of each supplement, which will probably end up having a negligible effect concerning overall yield and health of soil/plant. Just don't worry about it right now. If you really want to add something during flowering, you could try some koolbloom.... OR if you really want to start kicking ass, read up on some of 'Uncle Ben' 's threads regarding horticulture and plant nutrition. You could end up sidelining the FF and going w/ some Peter's or something similar. The beauty of this strategy is cost efficiency, easily accessible, highly effective, and ease of use. It's your call though. Good luck and be safe. Cheers, dak
