Ok I'm growing 3 Purple Express(freedom seeds) 1 Ultra Lemon Haze (auto seeds) and 2 Blue Cheese(big buddha seeds).

My nutes are Grow Big, Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom... and Unsulphered Molasses.

Their in their 3rd week coming up on number 4. Haven't feed them anything but pHed water. I was thinking of starting them off on the beginning of week 4 with a really diluted dose of Grow Big.

If anybody can help me with this it would be massively helpful. Or if anybody knows a good nute regiment.

Also when everybody says use 1/4 the strength of what the bottles say do they mean if the bottle calls for 2 tsp of Grow Big then I use only 1/4 tsp??? Someone please help.
 
From the many threads and forums on many sites that I have read and from trying and succeeding on my own plants. On week 4 use 1 tsp of tigerbloom and grow big per gallon 2tbs of big bloom per gallon. Add TB and GB first. Ph your water to 6.8 or whatever your soils ph calls for. Then add big bloom. Safe. Effective. Cheers
 
I use the fox farm trio myself and from what I have been reading you can start giving light nutes around week 2 and you would use the Grow Big and Big Bloom during veg and switch to Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom during flower. Remember when you start seeing flowers don't be quick to switch you wait until the vertical growth to stop before switching. It also depends on the strain I would imagine to.
I'm growing 2 Think Different that are about 12 days apart and I've notice that I could start feeding the younger one earlier. I started on day 10 with a 1tsp cal-mag and 3/4tsp grow big per 1/2 gallon and on day 14 she got 1 1/2tsp cal mag and 1 1/2tsp grow big per gallon and she is loving it I'm also using FFOF mixed with FFHF and remember to adjust your pH around 6.4 or 6.5 after adding the nutes to the water, I cannot stress how important the pH is.
Check out these links they will give you a feel of what people are using and go from there.
Good luck with your grow and peace

Here's a link to the FF feed schedule, it's different from what's on the back of the nute bottles I beleive:

Feeding depends on your strain, so general recommendation is to start at 1/4 nutes and bring it up if the girls react well. I seem to recall a rather successful lemon haze grow recently, so may want to search a bit for it to see how it was taking on nutes. As Shotgun mentioned, the PH is critical with FF stuff. Make sure to get a PH pen if you don't already have one.

And seems about the right time to start posting some pics of the grow man. Week 4 is when the fun really begins.

Good luck!

Hello and welcome. A few things I have learned about FF trio. Grow Big will drop your ph like a rock and I don't use more than 5 or 10ml (1 or 2 tsp) per gallon. Get some sledgehammer and use it between veg and bloom nutes. The type of soil mix makes a big difference. Use cal/mag throughout your grow, once or twice in each phase (veg & bloom). I always cry about FF trio right up until I harvest than I go out and buy more.
 
1/4 strength means divide measurement by four and that's what use. So 2 tsp would be 1/2 tsp. I've used the trio for some time, it's kind of a trip to me that the bloom big is organic and grow big and tiger bloom are not.
Best of luck, keep it green my friend
 
Thanks guys.

Hey guys i got a question. I'm in the middle of week 3 and I've only used grow big once so far. My plants are starting pre flowering. Should i continue to use grow big and start big bloom or just keep using grow big only for another week or so.

Also if you guys know anything about pH please check out my thread in the new growers forum called Please Help With PH and PPM.

I'm trying to get my pH under control. My leaves are turning yellowish and have rusty spots.
