i went in my grow room today to feed my plants, and i noticed that in my measuring spoon set, i never used the teaspoon, had been using tablespoons. the thing is, they were all given a gallon with 2tbs on 5/31, and then given 3 tbs per gallon, a gallon each, on 6/7. the next two times were just waterings, on 6/14 and 6/21. I am using FOX FARMS GROW BIG.

today, i just gave them the real 2tsp dose and a gallon each. they are healthier and bigger than my picture from july 1. i will upload a pic of them before watering with my lights off as well.

so, why did they handle 6 tsp per gallon and 9 tsp per gallon previously is that common? the one unhealthy plant in the back was unhealthy and nute locked from before my feedings.photo.JPG

That's crazy, they don't even look bad, maybe nute companies are watering down nutes or your plants are just godzilla eaters. Hmm, maybe it'll take a little while longer for them to show nute burn, I'm not sure. Definitely bizarre

You can give them a big doses of grow big and big bloom and they wont nute burn.... I push my plants as hard as they can go with the nutes . I back down a bit in flower tho. You can give them this everytime they need a drink, but I dont because I go threw those 2 bottles pretty quick just on reg feeds.

yeah my bottle is nearly empty and i was wondering why it went so quickly lol. well i'm gonna veg some more anyways, they been going since may 14th when they popped. i also made some clones with just a glass of water, they have lots of nice roots, wondering if i should veg these for two weeks and flower them with the others that have been vegging for two months.

Regardless of what the Nut companies try to sell to you, there is no all in one feeding schedule. Every plant is different and reacts differently to feedings. I hit my plants with nutrients until they scream. When they scream, I back up just a little.
Most plants can take much more nutrients than the feeding schedule and thrive from it. Other plants can barely have any nutrients without showing problems.

i've done the exact same thing in coco, forgot to put a decimal point on the feeding schedule i made for a buddy, he asked me for another bottle of base nutes and then i clicked, over 4 weeks of 10x the dose i had recommended for him and the plants had zero signs off ill health, they also never reacted when the dose got lowered accordingly. strange but true.

I think it's got to depend on the nutes you use too, I barely use any nutes and get some burns sometimes(with general hydroponic series + flora nova) but then use a ton of another brand(advanced nutrients) and have no signs of burn at all even tho ppms and EC reads much higher.

can someone help me identify my problems from some photos? ever since i started using tiger bloom i'm noticing the leaves arent as vibrant and green, they are getting freckled with dark brown spots, i had some leaf curling because my lights were about 7 inches from the plant tops. i'm using tiger bloom only, just today i used 3tsp per gal on them to maybe solve some of these issues, but i think my problem may be ph issues as well. how badly will this affect my harvest? i put them in flower on 7/16. they smell nice and seem to be doing good but i don't like the leave problems.
after i put them in flower, i flushed them all with a few gallons of water, they have only received tiger bloom on 7/23 with half tsp per gallon, then on 7/27 watered all with 2 gallons of plain water, then on 7/30 all got 2tsp per gal of tiger bloom, 8/3 i gave them plain water one gal, and today 8/6 they got 3tsp per gal of tiger bloom since i'm noticing these leaf problems. what do i do?photo 1.JPG

one more thing. all these brown spots happened after i misted the plants leaves with water for the first time in two weeks, and i misted them two times in a row right before lights out. maybe something in my tap water caused it? or the typical calcium magnesium deficiencies i don't know, but i'm going to get some cal mag nutes as it looks like i need something else.

easy fox farms npk ratios in grow big arent concentrated ( 6 - 4 - 4 ), aka theyre week so when your using theyre whole 12 part line aka bush doctor + solubs + organics you dont over nute your shit trust me do 2 tbsp of fox farms chaching, open seaseme, or beasty bloomz they will die within 5 minutes.

PS Your pics are showing calcium deficiency in my opinion, i dont think its magnesium just for the fact that when i get a mag deficiency i tent to get small bloches of yellowing across my leaves and when i get calcium deficient guess what i get the same brown spots you get followed by dead foliage.

I think I use 10x reccomended dose to every outdoor bean I got using Plant Prod.

Why?

Because its easier to lug 20 hilghly concentrated bottles of nutes than a whole water cooler jug like I used to. That was awkward runnin thru the corn with that.

They in the dirt wich is like sand and so I doubt there's any nutrients or bennies in it
