Hi, I'm following the recommended feeding schedule for the line of Fox Farm nutrients, I'm about ready to go into week 4 of veg, unfortunately that's where the schedule ends and begins the bloom regiment. So I've got about a week to figure out what I'm going to do because I'm NOWHERE near ready to put them into 12/12... the general idea is 2TBS of big bloom 3TSP of grow big and a 1/4 to a 1/2 TSP of Kangaroots or Microbe Brew here or there. But there's not enough feedings to gain a consistency. Please help I'm trying to get an extended Fox Farm feeding schedule for the vegative cycle. Thanks

be very careful useing full strength nutes with fox farm, they are WELL known for nute burning, im would be surprised if your plants havent got some kind of nut burn on them, almost everyone i talk to abot FF products, starts out with 1/8th strength..but if your plants look health and are growing like a weed *hehe*, then i would keep up with the same feeding schedual, until your simply ready to use your flowering nutes

FF DOESN'T BURN and they are not known for that. Keep grow big going into flowering. I would do in weeks 1-3 1ts grow big, 2 tablespoons big bloom and 1 teaspoon tiger bloom. Up your tiger bloom in weeks 4-7 to 2 ts's per gallon and plain water week 7 & 8. But also remember there is a 2 weeks transition period at beginning of flowering so don't start counting until then. Keep using just grow big and big bloom during this time. I lean more toward commercial but I use grow big for vegg and have for 10 years and would never use anything else. But what I have learned from trying their full bloom line up is.. N gets depleted very quickly in first stages of flowering and if N isn't kept rather higher then you will have a shitload of yellow fan leaves by week 4 of bloom. FF makes a great food and it works great and then only reason I don't use it is because chemical will give you a higher yield

Oh no, FF burns indeed. Their OF soil does as do their bottled nutrients. I've never used anything but FF, so I know from my own experience this as a simple fact, but continue to use their products anyhow.

But I do agree with you on continuing to use Grow Big 2-3 weeks into 12/12, at least into when flowing actually starts and thru the stretch. Nitrogen keeps plants short.

well i will retract my statement If you OVER DO it you will burn your ladies but that applies to any food. I have never had one single problem with burning with growbig EVER and have used it for almost 10 years. In veg i water 1 teaspoon per gallon every watering without problems. Haven't used their bloomers enough to say im experienced ff bloomer user lol Tiger bloom is some potent shit but used right and you won't have to worry about burning, and yes sir you are correct, using food when plants are first put into ffof WILL BURN YOUR PLANTS but using any food with fresh OF will burn them

Well to be clear I have the entire line of nutes (grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom, microbe brew, kangaroots, beastie bloomz, open sesame, and chaching) with sledgehammer for flush. I've experienced NO nute burn and they're in happy frog soil with extra pearlite. They're looking wonderful. I don't make up my own schedule I feed according to fox farms feeding schedule (look it up) it starts at 18/6 lighting 1 week for seedlings then weeks 1,2,3, and 4 of veg then into 12/12 lighting for weeks 5-12. Ill put pictures up, I've been topping, pruning, and bending.. my question is, I need is a CONTINUED feeding schedule for VEG for weeks 5-until I'm ready to bloom
