Fox Farm Big Bloom?

[Sp00nfedEJ2]

Well I've been contemplating what kind of nutrients to use for my grow.

I was looking into the Jacks Classic, and when I went to local gardening stores they didn't have any. But I did come across a bottle of Fox Farm Big Bloom. So I figured I'd just grab it.

Now I'm clearly a noob, I have 2 plants on day 20 of veg. I was planning on maybe starting tomorrow on day 21 to add nutrients. My questions are:

#1: Is the Fox Farm Big Bloom good/okay to use from the vegetative stage through flowering?

#2: If so, I'm assuming I'd start it with a fraction of the dosage. What dosage/feeding schedule should I start off with?

#3: If this isn't good stuff to use during the vegetative stage, what should I get?

If anyone can answer those questions for me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Please keep in mind I'm still new to all this and I'm not 100% familiar with terms and technical stuff. So please don't go into great technical detail and leave me scratching my head lol.

Never used it but there is not much NPK in big bloom and it sounds like its just a "tea" additive. I would run it all the way through veg until mid flower at suggested dose. Here is the link to fox farms feeding schedule but I couldn't view it for some reason. http://foxfarmfertilizer.com/index.php/frontpage/feeding-schedules.html

Can't help you. As your name suggests, you want to be spoonfed.

Hey spoon, they are all ok just use the proper amounts, I generally err
on the side of caution and use half to 3/4 what's recommended.
but since yer in veg use something high in nitrogen dude sounds like big
bloom is probably high in potassium for flowering, I'd find a very basic high N
fert , I use my own worm tea and canna veg nutes, I'm using canna Flores during
flower. But it's a weed feed her and she will grow! Cut yer teeth on this one and read,
read, read and grow her out and you'll see great results I hope . Good luck!

Thanks for the input man! The soil/fertilizer I'm using has 0.13% Nitrogen. And the big bloom is .01%N, .3%P, and .7%K. Idk if the soil will make up for the lack in the big bloom so I can use it. But it would be nice so I don't spend too much lol.

Hi Spoon,
I use FF Big Bloom (worm, bat and good secondary sh!t) from last week in Veg to the 6th week in bloom. I have a watering schedule of Nutes on Monday, Sweets on Wednesday and (Water Flush) on Fridays. I can water the soil this much because I use a very light soil. If I had plastic pots instead of the fabric ones (smart pots) I use, or if the soil is too wet, than I would only feed 2x per week. What kind of soil are you using? I like to use 12ml / gal on Mondays and Wednesdays. shack it up well and some times make it up the night before. Try not to contaminate the bottle as their is live stuff in there.
