I recently started up with Fox Farm Grow Big and Big Bloom (and have Tiger Bloom for flower). Mostly, I am going by the chart that came with the trio. Not really the Week 1, Week 2, etc. suggestions but mostly the dosing. Although, I admit, I screwed up and almost had a nervous breakdown. :jointsmile:

I was all geared up to start them out at 1/2 strength for their first feeding. I didn't need a full gallon because I would have had a lot of wasted nutrient mix... so I adjusted calculations to make a half gallon. I then proceeded to mix everything up and feed my babies. :thumbsup: Then a few hours later... out of nowhere... I realized that when I made my calculations I basically just cut the water amount in half... and the nutrient amount in half. Sooo... yeah... I gave them the full dose for their first feeding. Did I mention I smoked a blunt just before doing my math? :stoned:

It's been a few weeks now, and my plants are loving it.

So, in response to the question... :jointsmile:
I've been using:
Grow Big
Big Bloom
Full dose (going by online/factory chart)
Every OTHER watering

Like Rusty said... the strain will decide what, and how many, nutrients it wants. So use your own judgement. But for me, that's been working real nice.

P.S. When I screwed up and gave the full dose on the first feeding... it did NOT harm the plants at all. Not saying you should just jump into full feeding, but if you do by accident... they probably won't drop dead. :thumbsup:
