Would it be okay to apply the liquid fertilizers Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom with a one gallon pump spray after it is all mixed together with the gallon of water??? just wondering because this seems like it would be a very easy way to apply the fertilizer... it says it can be applied through a pump spray on the bottles of the fertilizer, but i just wanted to check and make sure it was okay to apply like this on my plants.....Help!:weed:

But the bottles also give directions for foilar feeding, is that what you mean?
Or for just sraying the soil?

only if you want to. It's good to do foilar sprays, but i stick to just clean PH balanced water to use when foilar feeding. The point of foilar feeding is to clean the stomatas on the underside of the leaves. If they stay clean, the plant can basically breathe easier and work easier. Read thoroughly on when to foilar spray before you do it. It can cause burns on the plant.

k i might do foliar feeding, not sure yet though...but if i mix up one gallon of water with a weak dosage of the soil recommended fox farm big bllom and tiger bloom, would that one gallon of water be efficent enough to water 8 plants?? if not, how many gallons should i mix up to feed them all?

Here is alink to Foxfarms feeding schedule. You'll notice the dosage on here is not the same as whats on the back of the bottle. I follow this and not the bottle. No problems.
It really depends on how big of pots you use, and how big the plants are. I dont think it will do eight plants only having one gallon.
I mix up one gallon at a time, adjust the PH before hand of the water, add the grow big,check PH, and then add Big bloom.
The BB is so dark it messes up being able to check the PH after and it doesn't change the PH anyway, so add it last.
When mixing up flower nutes always adjust PH first, then add the TB, check PH to ensure it didnt change then add the BB.
I also use Gravity from humbolt county but you gotta be careful with that, and I add molasses the last two or three waterings of the flush to feed micro organisims.
Any more help...just ask!!

What kind of ph test kit do you have?

I mix in all my FF nutes and then check the ph and I have no problems figuring out the ph.

I currently have 9 plants going in 3 gallon buckets, plants are about 2 ft tall and it takes about 3 gallons to water them all.

And like lilmafia said follow the feeding schedule not the bottle.

were you asking what type of kit i had?
I have the regular vial and solution test kit. I check it after I add anything to the water because i use tap water, and never know how the nutes will react to the tapwater. Better to be safe than sorry..LOL!!
