SOIL Fox farms trio

Hello fellow growers, recently a friend of mine gifted me his almost brand new fox farm trio nutrients and I’m looking for experiences and opinions of them, never used a micro like big bloom and the NPK of the grow and tiger are way different from what my plants are used to. Also I got no idea if the doses they recommend are crazy high like my botanicare pure or spot on like calmag. Thanks in advance
 
Used the trio two runs now. First run I overdid the nitrogen. Now I have it dialed in. I used half doses of all three all through veg. Now I'm at 3/4 strength 2 weeks into flower. Very effective so far at this dosage. Just make sure you are adding cal/mag durring veg thats the only extra my plants needed. Im getting very frosty already. What soil are you using? If it was a hot soil I would go very light on the nitrogen until you know the soil is depleted.

I use Fox Farm Trio, Kanga Root, and kelp me in my lineup with coco.

I water every 3 days when the pots are light, I alternate one feeding according to the fox farm chart with slight modifications to my grow style and then the next is water only pH at 6.3, in a 5 gallon smart pot I water plain water at 1.5 gallons per watering per pot and around 1.25 gallons of mixed nutrient water per pot.

feel free to ask any questions.
 
Thanks okie that’s good to know, I figured calmag was a must because the trio has no calcium, I’m using fox farms soil but I’ve used it for 3 years now on more than 10 rounds so it behaves like hydro and I feed every watering
 
No problem sir! I'm using sunshine mix #2 and it also behaves like hydro and I love it! Much easier to get a feeding schedule down.
 
Yeah I’m not going back to “hot” soils ever again. I just bought 230 liters of coco but I’ll use this nutrients with the 120 of soil I got, in not going to throw it away either
 
You are much kind mr furley, I’ll keep using my well/Ro water mixture (0.7EC) and calmag as a base, I’m going to start with 1/4 doses with the big bloom and tiger (flowering) and see how it goes
 
Plenty of calcium in tap water (if that’s what you are using). I have never needed use Cal mag with FF nutrients. But if you use RO water...then yes, you will need to add it in this case.

Thanks, I actually got the one in ml/gallon (I use a syringe to measure) but at 60ml per gallon I feel I’m going to waste them and burn my plants, I’m going to do 1/4 strength to start
 
Its alot easier to fix an underfed plant. I think 1/4 strength to start is a really good idea. Get a feel for what shes gunna need.
 
f f trio works well, I’ve been using since I began growing indoors, not on thier timeline i prefer dryer pots between watering, start at a quarter and work your way up.some strains ( if growing diff strains ) will react differently to the nutes

Used that trio exclusively on my soil grow and Ocean Floor soil. I read 500 times to not follow what was considered to be a strong dilution for the FF trio. Used it anyway starting week 3 from germination. Including that sledgehammer flush as recommended. Four months later, I started to REALLY smile. D.A.A.S.69 told me to use molasses and did that too....Total and complete success ! So much so, my next grow will be soil. Using the hydro buckets for soil pots, they already have drainage holes...expensive drainage holes

as for watering, the last three weeks....every other day...about 1 pH’ed gallon with lighter and lighter nutrients
