Confused as **** about FoxFarms Schedule.

Okay, so i finally buckled, threw some money into paypal, and then headed to Ebay for some nutes.

I snagged myself, a Clamp Light with Reflector Dome, E27 Socket Adapter ( allows for 2 bulbs in 1 socket )

AND

4oz Container of Fox Farms Big Grow Nutrient. 6-4-4



This Label confuses the shit out of me....Can someone please explain to me what this is telling me? lol...

Once again, im only using Grow Big Liquid Plant Nutrients.

Use grow big once a week during veg that schedule is for the whole line. I would get the other two if possible ..since u only have grow big read the instructions on the bottle and go half strength.

But since my plants are already in week 6 of Veg, Would i just continue from where the Label says? Or would i need to start the nutrients as if it were week one?

Start slow half strength tsp/gallon of Big Grow. Then work your way up to 2-3 tsp/gallon. Depending on her size and ability to feed I wouldn't start her at twice a week feeding either. Just work her in slowly don't want burn her. I grow outdoors and use the Fox Farm trio (Big Bloom, Big Grow for veg and Tiger Bloom for flowering) with Fox Farm OF soil and Happy Frog Bat Guano dry fert. 0-5-0. What type of soil/medium are you using?

Just remember you know your plant if you start her slow you will be able to judge how much she can handle the just increase slowly

Yea start out half strength forget the schedule u only have grow big so the ff schedule is useless to you. Go half strength once a week to start and buy the rest!

Well i found the entire line, + Open seseme, cha ching, and sledgehammer. All in a bundle for 20$ on ebay.

The portions they provide are enough for 1 grow. So i think i will get those soon

Just follow their advice and you should be ok. You will find that some plants you can really pour the nutes too, Others you have to tread lightly as they won't tolerate very much. Once you watch and learn to read your plants, you will figure out a schedule on your own. Hard to go by what the label say's.

Good, you'll be able to get 2 grows out of it going 1/2 strength.
I know a dude from RIU that sorta got screwed on eBay bought some old Nutrients weren't that good. Buyer Beware I guess. Make sure there not old nutrients.

The only thing if you use the sledge hammer flush you should follow that, don't go 1/2 strength since it's a flush. Full strength.

Forget about the open sesame and cha-ching and all that bullshit. Ive been using FoxFarm nutes for a while now and the only thing I use outside of the big three is a homemade molasses bloom booster. The big bloom is organic and its really hard to burn them with it. Start your GrowBig or your TigerBloom (depending on which phase they are in) at half strength in addition to the BigBloom, then follow the feeding schedule from there. If you follow the crazy feeding schedule they are posting, you will end up spending 5x as much as necessary. That's why they have you flushing so often, because you are over-feeding. This is especially true if you are growing in soil(or FFOF or Pro-Mix). Ive been following the schedule for the big three to a tee and adding my bloom booster in weeks 6-8 of flowering, and then flushing on day 60 followed by 10 days of straight water. This has been working EXTREMELY well for me. However, it wouldn't be bad to have all those others on hand just in case. Oh and btw, you will use up the BigBloom WAY faster than the other two, so double-up on it and save yourself the hassle and extra shipping. If you can find a store that sells nutes it might be a better idea to pick them up first hand instead of eBaying them.

Rusty you got me interested in hearing more about that homemade molasses bloom booster. Are you willing to share your formula?

one grow? holy bejesus, if it's the normal size soluble's, they'll last you way more than a single grow, more like a life time if you have a small grow..

They come in 4oz bottles, soooo think Travel size shampoo bottle.

Im gonna be ordering it soon, i ordred the Grow Big before i even noticed the same seller was selling the entire line in a mini-set.

But then again, if i would have got that, then i wouldnt have had enough for the clamp light with reflector dome, which i desperately neeeeed. lol

Running 2 CFL's just aint cutting it lol...

ALSO! i found this badass water bottle in my garage, it's probably a Quarter of a gallon in size, and it has a built in Filter.
( I've been worried that my tap water has WAY to much minerals in it, and running it through this bottle first, @.@ omfg ive never seen my house water look so clear... )

You will need to find Unsulphured Blackstrap Molasses. I use Slow-As brand that I find in the pancake aisle of the supermarket. I boil a gallon of water, turn off the heat and add a Tablespoon of molasses and stir, stir, stir. I let it cool and oxygenate it over-night. I give it to my plants once per week in weeks 6,7&8 of bloom. The raw carbohydrates in the molasses feed the beneficial bacteria in your soil and there are trace minerals in there that the MJ plant just gobbles up. This makes my buds bigger, heavier and harder. I have experimented with adding mined potash, Hormex , table sugar and sucanat. I have had mixed results with the additives, but the basic recipe is definitely a winner.

btw... DONT use this recipe with a hydro system. It will clog your shit up real fast! This is a soil recipe.
