Should I switch?

[Noisyjam7]

Hello I have 2 plants platinum og and one of them have been flowering for 5 and half weeks and I have been using tiger bloom in the flowering stage, I think it is time for a flush as the buds aren’t swelling a lot, after the flush should I switch to big bloom fox farm? Or should that be my final flush and not use any thing but water ? I’m stuck and don’t know what to do

Never stop using nutes till you harvest

A good flush to remove salt buildup is fine, be start yer feeding immediately afterwards

After I flush should I stop using tiger bloom and switch to big bloom? So I get a more organic and potent result ?

 

[Noisyjam7]

Because tiger bloom is a fert and I heard u shouldn’t use ferts 2 weeks b4 harvest but I don’t know much abt big bloom but I have it if needed.

 

[Chris Scorpio]

I go by the schedule

I’m using a1000 watt sunraise LED light and I have been only using tiger bloom, how should I use both of them ? Do I flush before adding big bloom?

[Noisyjam7]

I can’t follow that chart it doesn’t make any sense, to much bs on it

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Put in a cap full of each per gallon and see how she responds

Not using nutrients in the last two weeks is the old theory. Current discussions will emphasize that the container can be flushed about two weeks before expected harvest. Then your desired nutrient program is started back up. Those last couple of weeks are golden so do not cut back on the very nutrients that build better, larger and heavier blooming flowers?

I am not sure if you can consider the results to be more organic just because you stopped using one product and switched over to another. But, it is something to think about.

I understand. It is a bit "busy" looking with the colors and all the cells in the chart.

The best way to look at the chart is go across the top to find the week (column) you are in. Then find the product and go across to see if there is an amount for that week. If you are 5 and half weeks into flowering go the column #10 and look down. According to the chart the recommendation is to use Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom and Grow Big. The number of teaspoons of each that should be added to the water is shown.

From the FoxFarm website:

When you mix FoxFarm fertilizers together, do not combine them in their undiluted form. Begin with a gallon of clean water. Add each fertilizer product to this gallon of water in the recommended doses. If growing in soil, adjust the pH of your nutrient solution to between 5.6 and 6.8, and if growing hydroponically, adjust your pH to between 5.8 – 6.3. For best results follow one of our FoxFarm Feeding Schedules.

FoxFarm has to be one of the oldest of the established fertilizer companies dedicated to growing Marijuana. Their products have been on the market since the mid 1980s. I can remember seeing their products in gardening shops long before "grow shops" and "hydro shops" became the place to go.

Very convenient that the caps on the quart bottles are 5 ml and that 5ml is one teaspoon.
