New grower. What’s up with the difference in fox farm big bloom schedule - the bottle says 4 tablespoons per gallon and the download says three teaspoons.yes, I know they run hot anyway so what the heck.

I'd use something else if it was me.

Well, I am not you but I probably don’t know as much as you; therefore i know enough to listen to people like you. I want to get this right.

I just see a lot of people have problems with FF nutes. I use organics, but if I used chemicals it wouldn't be FF. Lots of people use General Hydroponics Flora Trio, and Epsom salt and have good luck. I've got the trio here that I'm gonna try some day with coco.
Big Bloom is organic and the only one I would use, but like I said I'm growing organically.

Hi Jonniebluefish,
Big Bloom is not Tiger Bloom. BB has a ratio of like 0-.05-.07 or something like that. You can safely use 1 tablespoon per gallon every watering, if in soil/coco, from when they are about big enough to be in 1 gallon pots. Bigger the plants/pots, the more you can give. I personally never exceed 1 tablespoon per gallon of water because i use it every watering with Calmag just so the water isn't plain. On feeding days the plants don't get Big Bloom or Calmag. I use soil or coco.
Yes, FF runs hot and everyone hates it but if you watch your ppms/EC, you can use anything you want. I use GH FloraNova Grow and Bloom 1 parts so i dont have to mix anything and then ph, but then watch out for ppms, its too much for me. I keep things very simple for using "Synthetics". Good luck
