Hello everyone..so i have a question about nutrients during flowering.
Medium: roots organics original
Nutrients: fox farm trio, big bloom, grow big and tiger bloom.
Botanicare cal mag
great white mycorrhizae

So is the tiger bloom all that is needed for flowering?..i only ask because of friend of mine uses a different brand of nutes and he also adds molasses. Should i be adding molasses or any other thing that the plants would require during flowering? My plants haven't gone into full flower yet. Just trying to prepare

You want to use both tiger and big bloom. Follow the chart, with the exception of flushing in between. If you aren’t already using the grow big, I would start off light and let the plant get use to it. And blackstrap molasses helps, wouldn’t say it’s necessary or required.

Ive been using the big bloom and grow big. I started with a quarter of the recommended dose tjen went up to half when the plants matured..no signs of burn or deficiency thankfully..just was wondering of the molasses because ive heard it helps feed the microbials and also helps with bud sweetness but idk.

It does help with the sweetness part and micros. But as far as the Nutes, I tapered off of the grow big after my third week of flowering, didn’t like all that nitrogen.

Yeah they been really stretching lately..i used roots organics original..first time ive used it..ive used the ffof before yrs ago..i kinda started again after a long hiatus. Do you think the molasses messes with the NPK?

Not as far as I could tell. I use molasses my whole grow. Mainly because my wife likes the taste of the bud. I don’t personally medicate, so I couldn’t tell you from personal experience haha, just what she tells me. I’ve grown with and without it and I honestly didn’t “ see “ a difference. I grow organically, no more bottle feeding for me. When I use molasses, I usually don’t have to ph my water, so I can’t see how it affects the NPK.

Cool..i wanna grow straight organic next grow..like making my own super soil or just making some teas etc. Would you say its less costly making your own fertz rather then buying bottled stuff? Or bout the same?
