Would this be bad?

My water schedule is to use nutes on mon. then wait on thursday to use plain water then nutes again sunday. SO basicaly every other watering is nutes being used. Although I was wondering if when i used just plain water do you think i could still add 1/2 the nutes i usually do when its normaly time use the full force nutes. When i normally use nutes i do 2 tsp of fox farm big grow mized with 2 tablespoons of fox farm big bloom in 1 gallon- so when its time for plain water i would use 1 tsp and 1 tbs of each. Is this goin to over do my plants?

Anyone? also that scheudle i have only gives nutes once a week is that not enough?

You should feed at every watering with 1/2 strength nutes.

Not used those nutes before mate. But should you be using grow and bloom at the same time? Should it not be grow for veg then switch to bloom for flowering? Just a thought. I feed my plants every 3-4 days.

i feed every other water at half strength then up it if shows signs of deficiency. but every strain is diff you be fine jus do wat u feel

Very good advice...i think thats what i might do!

Why would you use half strength nutes? I use full strength, there are directions on products for a reason. You wont get the same results.

I would check out foxfarms website as ive read around here u cant go wrong w the feeding schedule there

Do what is says on the nutes bottle as someone above said.. The directions are there for a reason not just to fill in space on the outside of the bottle. I water with nutes every time i water and get excellent results.

Wait, are you saying FoxFarm has some type of feeding schedule that conflicts with what the instructions on the bottle says? If true, that's about the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard. I just started using the Big Bloom and have been following the instructions on the bottle.

This confusion they've created make me want to switch to a different fertilizer. That pisses me off.

surely if they have made a balls up with directions on the bottle, they would have simply recalled stock from suppliers? Then put the correct directions on the product? Im with you mate

the instructions on the bottle are if used alone the feeding schedule on the website is if you got all 6 parts
when I was useing the liquid nutes alone I was feeding 2 and pure water 1 and kept that until close to the end then did the flush
here is the feeding schedule from the website

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for that, I was getting wound up over that confusion. Big Bloom is the only thing I'm using, so I'm going with the instructions on the bottle. Cheers.
