Fox Farms Quickie

Can I use fox farms grow big in the green bottle for veg. Im not sure if its the hydro version or not because it doesn't say.

If it doesnt say it on the bottle....Its not the hydro kind.

BUT....Ive used it before with no problem in veg.

I was thinking the same thing. If I closely monitor ppm and ph it should work the same.? I think the main issue may be with PH. Im going to use it.

I think the difference is the hydro kind is made for nutrient uptake within water. Some of the micro nutes may not be as available to your plants using the non-hydro type. But its definitely doable.

I think my hardwater may have helped.

Yea Im gonna give it a try. Maybe ill use it in conjuntion with some other nutes. Anybody ever give Alaska Fish Emulsion or TerraCycle Worm castings a try in hydro? Ill use Tiger Bloom for flowers

Yes gnome, that's the exact product I AM talkiing about. Do you use it for hydro also? and what feeding table do you follow with that Green bottle of GrowBig

So for the bottle I have (green bottle does not say hydro) which chart should I follow? I hope this works out man its my first grow and its taken 6 weeks to get things flowing good. Iv'e already inadvertantly killed 2 plants with noob bullshit,I just dont want to make another mistake by using the wrong nutes.

When I used it I stayed on the safe side. I started with 1/2tsp/gal. I worked up to 1 1/4tsp by the end of veg.

Thats as much as my plants could stand. Yours may be able to handle more...or maybe less. Start off lightly with it.

Thats a 10-4 Roger. I don't even use a ppm meter, i just monitor the plants and feed them as long as they dont develop symptoms of nute bure. Just start off very low and work my way up as they tolerare. 1/2/tsp/gal is the exact ratio I was thinking of starting with. Ill give it a res change Saturday and hope all goes well. Thanks every one and BSI keep in touch we may have to swap notes soon,.
