Wanna help me quit my fox farm addiction and go organic?

[sm0keyrich510]

ok...so im a few weeks (3 or so i believe) into flowering. i have dp's master kush, sagarmathas strawberry d-lite and kannabia's smile going.

im using black gold 100% organic soil along with the fox farm trio of nutes. however ive basically ran out of the big bloom and tiger bloom...today is feeding day and before i feed i need to go to the hydro store and either get more fox farm nutes or go with something else...

i'd like to go organic ideally...something in liquid form is preferred. not breaking the bank would be a bonus...

ive looked around and looked around but can't make a decision. so i ask, "whats the liquid organic version of fox farm?" basically thats what im after as im happy with fox farm's results but not happy with the chemicals...

You would be better served staying with the FF for this grow.

There is a bit of a learning curve with organics and the middle of flowering is not the place to get on it. It's not a simple 1 for 1 substitution.

well i wish i would have considered that before hand...i went out and got another big bloom of the FF (since its organic already)...and the guy at the hydro store turned me onto bio-bloom...its a 1-2-2...i believe the tiger bloom is 2-4-8 or 2-8-4...

how should i go about feeding it?

like most things on Earth, plants dont like their food changed all at once, go slowly and see what happens and watch the leaves.

i hope i didnt screw up on this one...im about 3-4 weeks into flowering...so far plants seem healthy but ive yet to add the biobloom to the mix as i still have a tiny big of tiger bloom left.

i got the biobloom on the suggestion of a hydro store employee who said it was one of the best organic ferts they had...originally i was going to go with earth juice but he assured me bio bizz was superior. so idk...he said just feed 2tsp a gallon every feeding but the NPK ratios or the tiger bloom and bio bloom are different so i wasnt sure if i should be feeding more than 2tsp per gallon of the bio-bloom...

when it comes to nutes im good at following the schedules given by the company but im not experienced in mixing different nute lines...so yeah im looking for a little guidence.

Don't crack the new bottles and go and replace the FF that you are out of. Then do as you have been doing.

Experiment on the next grow.

sadly im getting this info a little too late...i MUST feed my plants tomorrow, im fresh out of tiger bloom and the only store that i can get fox farm's tiger bloom is closed for a few days (im not 100% sure why)...so it looks like i have to use the bio-bloom.

how should i go about this without under/over feeding my plants? never dealt with this problem before. any tips? this is in black gold organic soil by the way.

Your plants aren't going to fall over and die because of getting fed a couple of days late. There are still nutes in the soil.

well today i fed them anyway.

i used up the last of the FF tiger bloom on 4 of my 12 plants...the rest were watered with the bio bloom. i marked the ones watered with the FF tiger bloom so ill be able to compare the results and look for signs of stress/nute issues.

since bio-bloom is organic and doesnt have as high N-P-K i figure i should be ok. if anything increase my dosage next feeding.

the bio bloom is 1-2-2 and the tiger bloom i believe is 2-8-4 or 2-6-4 (something like that).
