[Toker1]

That same excitement is one of the reasons why I am still addicted to growing after all these years. Lol

 

[Juicyj89]

Ill post some here in a bit 😊

 

[Juicyj89]

looking pretty good juicy, filling up the space nicely

 

[Juicyj89]

Thanks 9fingerleafs i started her on ff big bloom lastnight. Just used 3 tbsp for 2 gal. Think this was too little or too much to start? I haven't noticed any neg effects yet..

 

[9fingerleafs]

i got no idea man never used it and it kinda depends on your setup and environment, but something like 1/4 to 1/2 dose should be good to start

 

[Juicyj89]

Oh okay. Well thanks anyways. I think it say 4 tbsp per gal for norm/reg feeding. So i def shouldn't burn it. Ill prob add a little more with the midweek refill if shes still good by then. Just ready to see those buds start forming! Officially starting week 3 Flower @ 12AM 👽💚🙃

Big bloom is an organic feed. Hard to over do it. I have never got any burn from using that alone. It’s derived from earth worm castings if I remember correctly. Now the tiger bloom and grow big that make up the rest of the liquid base feed FF offers, I have gotten the burn from those before.
As a stand alone feed 4 tablespoons but you really should follow that feed schedule if you are using the FF line up.

Hey Toker1 was that 4 tbsp per gallon?

 

[Toker1]

Yes. That’s what the bottle recommends as a stand alone feed. Just going off memory.

 

[GreenhouseEffect]

It is, all organic stuff, don't think you can really hurt them with the Big Bloom.
Is it okay to use organic stuff in that set up, though? Have heard you shouldn't use organic Nutes in Hydro, but I don't really know much about Hydro. That's DWC, right?
Pardon my ignorance!

 

[Juicyj89]

Yes its a bubbler. But as far as i know you can. Ive read online anyways and the feeding schedule has soil and hydro. Plant seems to be okay.

It’s all good to use in hydro. Some organic nutes will clog pumps. Big bloom won’t. Worst thing that happens is it collects on your roots and air stone a bit. I thought I had root rot when I first saw that. But it doesn’t smell like rot, and you can clearly see it’s a collection of nutrients on the roots if you touch it. It even comes off if you rinse the roots with clean water. All good.
