Selecting Nutrients....

[disoBAYish]

I use Fox Farm Ocean Forest potting soil to grow clones SoG-style in 3 gallon pots under a 600w HPS. From what I understand, the soil alone is enough to sustain the clones for the first 2-4 weeks until they are rooted and ready to be flowered.

Once I switch my clones over to a 12/12 photoperiod, what nutrients should I start feeding them, and how much, how often?

I was thinking of using Fox Farm Big Bloom. Would the soil/big bloom combo be enough nutrients?

Thanks in advance....

You can follow Fox Farms schedule if you are going to use their products. I use Dr. Earth organic 5 for my veg and am using Neptune's Harvest for bloom. If you follow the schedule you should do fine, but I recommend cutting back the first couple doses of nutes. I burned mine out the first few feedings and had to flush the soil. I found that they grow into the nutes, so once you start getting good growth you can start hitting those full strength doses. You might get a little burn on some leaves here and there but the plant will veg out before it gets too bad.

The Bloom is a Catalyst that complements the other Fox farm products. Its great stuff when used in veg and flower but shouldnt be used as a stand alone fertalizer. Buy the Tiger bloom and use it along with the big bloom and you should have good results. Go a little easy at first and see how your plants like it. There is a feeding schedule on the FF website, but i get alot of burning when i go full strength, its really strain dependent. After a couple of weeks the roots are gunna suck all of the nutrients up and your going to the Tiger Bloom.


I use Fox Farms Grow Big, Big Bloom, and Tiger bloom. Ive only had good results. Here are some nugs grown with FF nutrients.

So I should look into getting FF Grow Big, Big Bloom, and Tiger Bloom? Once I buy the 3 nutes, find an online FF feeding chart and follow it?

The Cannabis Grow Bible mentioned mixing nutes at 1/4 of what it says on the label. I think I will be sticking to that routine.

I also use foxfarm soil and nutes and they work great.

this is my first grow and i'm using this 8-16-8 flower bloom fert from the local store, but just ordered the Fox Farm Trio since it seems to be a big fav, hoping my plants will enjoy the upgrade

Thanks man. I decided I am going to go with this chart. I will be using Grow Big for Vegging, and Tiger Bloom for Flowering. Will that be enough, or should I use the Tiger Bloom + Big Bloom for Flowering? I mix them at 1/4 of what the directions say as I was instructed to by the Cannabis Grow Bible.
