thats what i was waiting for, thanks rusty I will continue using the nutes for my current grow but i think i will go with fresh ones next grow. It's too bad they come in such big bottles, I have used maybe 1/15 of the bottle.

Houseplants love it too, but yeah...half quart bottles would be cool.

[savage7garden]

..ya'll are not using the whole bottle??

if i'm following the ff feeding schedule am I using too much?

a liter of big bloom would last about one grow for a few plants with a 6 month seed to harvest time...so is the recommened amount too much for cannabis? perhaps it's just because 6 months is not common...anyway, i digress..just wondering if I should reduce....

does it affect the taste? or have any other adverse affect?

thanks :rasta:

It depends. If 6 plants spend 6 months in veg indoors, 1 liter of Grow Big sounds excessive. Or are you talking 1/2 liter of Grow Big for veg, and 1/2 liter of Tiger Bloom for flower...totaling 1 liter for that time period?

How much of the Tiger Bloom do you use, and how long do they spend in flower?

Have you seen the FF feeding schedule they have available? (the link is in my signature)

Yes. Excessive nutes will affect flavor, stunt and burn the plants, affect yield...

I just have one really BIG plant 30 days into flower. I was referring to Big Bloom and I'm now using it at full strength, according to FF schedule (1tbs/gal). I am using all 3 ff nutes according to schedule. my plant looks healthy (check out my grow log if you got the time) but I'm worried about the unseen (it's in my nature) :smokin:

How much of the Tiger Bloom do you use, and how long do they spend in flower?

1 1/2 tsp / gallon and I'm watering every other day, feeding every other watering. On the days I don't feed, I use 1 tsp blackstrap/gallon.

the strain is unknown, but the grower I got my seeds from quoted me 90 days for flowering...

Thanks!! I have a sheet that I picked up when I purchased the nutes, but I will def. check out the one in your sig.

Yes. Excessive nutes will affect flavor, stunt and burn the plants, affect yield...

good to know... does excessive nutes usually manifest intomething visible?


thanks for the help rusty


my apologies michael, for jacking your thread...this was an incidental tangent ~

[Rusty Trichome]

1 1/2 tsp / gallon and I'm watering every other day, feeding every other watering. On the days I don't feed, I use 1 tsp blackstrap/gallon.

And it's still alive?

Way too much. Their schedule says 2 tsp Tiger Bloom per gallon per week. Which is 1 tsp twice a week...or approximately .5 tsp per gallon every other day.

I do the 1 tsp per gallon, twice a week. I then use properly ph'd water in-between, and 1 tsp per gallon of molasses on a non-nute day. (once a week if using Big Bloom at full-strength...twice a week if using BB at 1/2 strength)

whoa! I interpreted the ff feeding schedule differently, thinking that it was recommending 2 tsp/gallon each feeding during week 7 (or whatever week)

so ya, sounds like I need to cut waaaaay back! I'm so glad I asked and even more so that you answered.

can't believe she's looking as good as she is, considering how much I've been overfeeding..I do see the leaf tips starting to curl slightly and the smallest part of the tips are burnt...you're my hero today, man!!

thanks a bushel, Rusty :jointsmile:

and I can finally attach pics!!! YAY

id say they are getting a little too much nitrogen judging by the very dark leaves, but much better that any plants i have grown.
