I do have all 3 of the foxfarm nutes.... but for weeks one and two you just use the big bloom... so i am not sure what you mean by it is a tea...

Here's the response I got when I e-mailed FF to ask about the need for micronutes if using their Big Bloom as a stand-alone...

Thank you for your e mail.
Big Bloom does not have enough phosphorus in it to use as a stand alone fertilizer when your plant is flowering.
You can use Big Bloom in combination with Tiger Bloom.
Big Bloom can be thought of as a catalyst. Big Bloom can be used the entire plants cycle, on new plants, and on plants that are not doing well.

Thank you,

It gives the plants a gentle nudge without overpowering them. Tiz why it can be used on new or struggling plants. Not enough oomph in it for using as a stand-alone nutrient. Especially nearing the flowering stage. Plus, it doesn't contain the necessary micronutes. Micro's are in the other two products in the trio.

But plants in mid-growth stage or flowering, it definatelly needs the other nutrients. (Grow Big or Tiger bloom for their respective stage)
