Fox Farm Solubles

Hi I had a quick question for those of you who use the 3 powders made by fox farm (Opensesame,BeastieBloom,Cha-Ching)

i would like to know on what weeks you use the nutrients.
it seems to me that the one day of beastie bloom on the schedule isn't enough. It's used around week 3 but on the bottle says its for late flowering?

im usuing a ebb and grow hydroponic system, all help is appreciated.
 
I used these according to the FF feeding schedule about 6 years ago in a soil grow. From what I remember, I think I used 1/2 of what they recommended due to forum posts warning of the strength of these additives. I can't complain with Fox Farm - I used all their products available at the time (Grow Big, Big Bloom, Tiger, and the 3 solubles), and on my first grow ever and a small growing area, ended up with 8-10 (I think, but can't remember exactly) ounces from three plants that were vegged for only 4 weeks.

Also, if you look at the ingredients on the solubles, they seem to be the same or very similar, just different ratios. I hear you though - a lot of money for the big container of these just to use a teaspoon or so for one week of the flowering cycle.
 
I'm on my 4th grow right now and you can see a clear difference in how fast they start flowering. I'm usuing the additives with GH floro series usuing the Lucas formula plus GH pineapple sweatner and rapid root enhancer. On on week 3 now and I'm gunna use BB weeks 3,4,5 and then cha-Ching weeks 6,7 finishing it with a flush. Ill let everyone know how it goes.
 
This is my first grow using fox farm, and I like it. I just started adding cha Ching this week, did you experience any more bud mass growth in the harvest or is cha Ching just for smell and taste? My buds look good but haven't filled out as much as I hoped so I was just wondering.

They're all just outrageous amounts of p and k in slightly different ratios. Just because a company wants to sell 10 products doesn't mean you need 10 products. Google up, or better yet check out a book on plant nutrition. It'll teach you a lot about the fertilizers you're using and what they do.

Having said that, monopotassium phosphate will do the same thing at less than 10% of the cost.
