Fox Farm Nutes Advice

[madseason]

Plants are 19 days old. Should I start adding nutes? I did 70% FF Ocean Forest and 30% FF Light Warrior, this is why I am confused.

you can start adding nutes. but very little. just build your way up. i mean very little, say the bottle says 10ml a gal.
do 1ml, 2ml, 3ml...
build your way up.
you usually never have to do the full amount recommended. your plants will let you know whats happening. just slow changes.

by the way i am not to familiar with your dirt mix but i think it does contain some nutes. so in that case you might want to hold off a bit, then use the method of building up slowly. either way, the way i build up is so slow it wont really matter.
just my style.
others start at 1/3 strength, then half, then mabey 3/4, but i don't think anyone uses what the nutes call for. that would burn them. either way start slow and build your way up. if they look like there getting to much nutes back off, and you will soon figure out what your plant likes.

ok cool, will do. btw im using tiger bloom, big bloom and grow big if any of you other guys experimented with fox farms. ill be using the chart too. not what the bottle says.

I would hold off on nutes for another 2 weeks or so. They are still pretty small plants and it sounds like the soil you are using is already enriched with nutes.

I've used the up and down.....be careful with that shit though. I got the worse chemical burn on my finger! Note to self...wear gloves when preparing nutes! ouch!!! :jointsmile:
