when to start nutrients

311grower · Feb 22, 2007

Hi All, my plants around about 2 weeks old (only 3 days under MH, germed/sprouted under 100 W bulb[Pics in the gallery if you wanna see them])

I purchased fox farm's 3 pack of Grow Big, Big Bloom, and Tiger bloom.

When is it safe to start using the grow big on my little babies??

I don't know the fox farm nutes. hopefully someone else will come along soon who does.

What I can tell you is that you need to start with some nutes immediately. But only start them at 1/4 strength. so if the fox farm pack says to use grow big first, then mix up a weak solution of that, PH it, and put it to work.

As usual, it depends on a whole range of factors, none of which you've mentioned, so it's impossible to give you an answer.

I assume you're growing in soil - what soil did you use? How many times have you repotted? When do you next intend to repot and into what kind of soil? In normal circumstances, there should be sufficient nutrients in the soil for at lease 3-4 weeks growth - but it depends entirely on the quality of soil you used.

You can cause far more harm over-fertilising your plants by incorrect use of nutrients than you can by under-fertilising them.

Nutrients are supplements to soil that the plant has either used all of the available nutrients in, or has had those nutrients gradually leeched out of the soil by frequent plain water feeds. When there are no more nutrients available in the soil - that's the time to start using them.

here is a rundown of my set up....
2 mil mylar
400 w MH/HPS
Homemade Air Cooled Hood w/ 2 inline fans (one exhaust one intake)
general 4" exhaust
(4) 1-3/4" intake holes
Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil
Fox Farm Nutrients: Grow Big, Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom

I have re-potted once, and probably will again in about 2-3 weeks to bigger pots.....

Seeds brought home from Jamaica(probably 100% sativa)
