I use the OpenSesame along with Supernatural bloom to get a NPK of 10-30-20 through flower. I use the ChaChing in late flower along with some extra SugarDaddy to get the resin dripping and the buds to fatten up!, I personally dont see any real improvement using BeastieBud plus it has no Nitrogen. The FF 3 pack doesnt have enough N to use by itself without causing a N deficency during flower. Most pot books recomend a NPK of 10-30-20 for flower and the 3 pack doesnt come close. You will definitely need something else to add to it!

What pot book says an NPK like that for flowering? That's a pretty high NPK. My "flower booster" is 4-10-7.5 and I get amazing results.

Ive used them in my plants and then not in. NOW, there back in the feed line up. The plants that did Not have them, the nugs weren't has hard as the ones that got the fox farm additives. Now , im using foxfarm additives, but have some going with organic boosters: liquid bonemeal, Root Organics H-P-K, and Earth Juice Meta-k with my EarthJuice 3 part. So far the buds that get the Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz & Cha-Ching are far more dense, hard, & sugary, But i do like to give a good flush with Clear-X 2 weeks before harvest, then just water. About 3 days before cutting. 1 hour before the lights come on, I will take and flush them again with 5 gallons of str8 water into the 7 gallon pots. I think flushing in the dark flushes the roots better, since most of the nutes are in the roots after 11 hours of darkness and have not yet been drawn up into the plant. Just a rookie theory, but still in my first year of growing with some of sweetest nugs around, if I must say so myself. Friends are like, " thats yours ?" when they see it. I have standing orders now for all my extra, when there is any. lol.

Got That Fire.... Mega bloom products like the ones you speak of will fatten up Mary, but are overkill in my book. I've challenged my buds to grow contest, using all organics vs all chem. I used worm castings, rabbit manure, and bat guanos. They used Fox Farm stuff - including the open sesame, beastie bloom & cha-ching.
.
They did out yield me by roughly 8 - 12 percent each. However, my buddage smoked smoother and was chosen as, best all around, in our inner circle contest.
.
I personally don't like these mega bloom ferts. I've seen growers burn the shit out of their plants with the slightest over use. & why load something up that heavy - risk the burn - then you have to do the mega flush - or your weed will taste like chems... yuck....
.
If weight is all you are after, they work. I've always said, I'll take less - if it's better.
IMO all organic, reasonably feed Mary is Best.
.
Some will agree, others will not. To each is his own.
.
Hope this helps...
Keep it Real...Organic....

flushing the FF products your first time idea/going to do this way. or have you dont this before using the same steps in flushing FF?
Why use clear-x? what is it ? is it really a legit flushing agent/additive?

.......first of all, this is the organic section, something that Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, Open Sesamie, Beastie Bloomzzzz, and Cha-Ching ARE NOT! Only Fox Farm's Big Bloom and their soils(some guanos, etc.) are organic.

That aside, imo, Fox Farm has the best nutes on the market. I have only tried about 3-4 different brands and always came back to FF. The best grows I 've had were with all FF products. Strain dependant, FF is hot shit. If you use their soil and dont veg over 4-5 weeks you dont even need the Grow Big.<----Use it in the first two weeks of 12/12. And other than usually becoming Cal/Mg def, you never need anything else for N(just supplement for cal/mg the first weeks in flower if it shows). But just really watch for nute burn if you dont go way easy......then flush the piss out of it asap if you do see burn.
Using it right you'll see awesome results........use too much you'll burn and stress and reek havock on your ladies.......you can always use more as needed but dont think 25% of what they say is too little to start with.........
Clear-X??? bs...... Run a good h2o flush 8-10 days before harvest and then just feed h2o, period, until finished......... I had it tuned in pretty good and my smoke was awesome grown with FF: hard heavy sticky SWEET buds. Chemical/ nute tasting?? I dont think so! Flush properly and you taste no more chemicals than you do chicken shit when grown organically.......but to each their own......
Another tip when using FF: start the Big Bloom(100%organic!) right out of the gate, with the very first time you feed, and use it every time you feed all the way through. Get a BIG bottle of it. Shake it all the time too...........

Good Luck----

they are bullshit....last year i used the fox farm line with the tri boosters on 4 of 6 outdoor...the other 2 i used fox farm basics with mollaes(no tri pack)..there was no noticable difference between the 6...this year im gonna save a bundle of dough and use strictly mollases for a boost...

I am growing this and yes I used, Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom, Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz, and Cha Ching.

I like them they are easy to mix. Just follow their chart. No problems for beginners.

I don't know if I would do better with something else, maybe.
