New Grower FF TRIO vs FF TRIO + SOLUBLES (everything FOX FARM related)

[dank0r]

no drop the grow big!! just TB and BB !! GB is a veg nute and you dont want to give the plant N during flower. I use GB and BB for veg, abd TB and BB for flower once the vertical growth stops...

 

[herbal.experience]

so when my plan goes into full flowering i thought i should stop the grow big since its veg and stick with the tiger bloom and big bloom? im better off doing all three during flowering?

do you use plain ph'd water before making the switch to just bloom or do you just go from veg nutes to bloom?

 

[dank0r]

you can, i dont .. I guess its debatable but I dont think it makes a difference, this round i am as i been feeding heavy and would like to wash out some salts from the roots. Just see how your ladies are doing. I like to also supplement some molasses during flower as well, cheap and available everywhere. i use plantation unsulfered molasses at 1tbls to the gallon and drop all all nutes and molasses the last 2 weeks before harvest just to flush any build up and better taste when smoke!

Hi friends. Fox farm member here I use just the trio nutes now but wanting to add in the solubles next grow. I did however move from the OF soil to promix as the last bag was full of gnats and very chunky.

do you use plain ph'd water before making the switch to just bloom or do you just go from veg nutes to bloom?

I've done it both ways also. never seen or tasted a difference. This grow i'm on now i just made the switch and I did one feeding with water/molasses between nute change. I dont know why i did, i just did

if im going to feed a plant lightly with 1/4 tsp tiger bloom for the first time how much big bloom should i add too?

i just got the big bloom so im just starting to add it in, since it is organic after the tiger bloom lowers the ph of my water will the big bloom drop it even more or no?:smoke:

Should be ok to go 1/2 a tablespoon.

With all my previous grows I've did the light feeding to start and seemed to always run into a plant problem. The plants this time have been on full strength from first feeding at 7 days. I've gone by the ff chart dose wise but I've been doing feed,feed,feed...no plain water but change over time. These plants by far have been my healthiest looking plants yet. But note i'm not using ffof soil i'm using promix

i just go with the chart schedule (1/4-1/2 strength only) - amount would depend on the week its on.

big bloom sill lower your ph -- shouldnt be as much as TB.

*always check ph after adding additional nutrients :thumbs:*

Great thread.

I'm a first time grower and I am currently using Ocean Forest and Trio.

Here is a link to my thread:
My Current Grow

Now, since this is my first grow, I have nothing really to add to the conversation. I have no basis to compare lol. However, I can say that has allowed an absolute inexperienced grower to have a successful grow so far.

EDIT

I also want to say that I acknowledge making multiple mistakes throughout this first grow. It'll be very interesting to see the results after I make multiple adjustments!
