I just got to the bottom of my big bloom bottle and it is so thick like a milkshake is this bad should I throw it out? Sent from my XT907 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Not really. Maybe you left the cap open and most of the water evaporated. Does your label have an expiration date?
It's not bad. Big Bloom has heavy shit in it like guano and worm castings. That's why the bottle says SHAKE WELL before use.
Sounds like it didn't get shaken well before every use and therefore that's why you have sludge left.
Yea I didn't shake could I just add water and it and shake and get some use out of that shit Sent from my XT907 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
I shook the shit out of it its stirred up just needs thinning Sent from my XT907 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Yea that's normal. The only organic solution from the fox farm trio, so it's far less sodium based and more sludgy like good quality plant food. And definitely follow the bottles instructions to shake vigorously before each use. The stuff settles and becomes half liquid and half solids after a while, so opening it up and trying to pour some out without shaking would just give you the liquid, and the bottom would be heavier. I do enjoy fox farm's big bloom quite a bit. I can't really say great things about the rest of the trio either, but one thing for sure is it's not beginner friendly. The other bottles have to be heavily pH'd after mixing, as it's stored at an extremely acidic level to stop it from going bad. I remember so many issues when I first started because of that. yeah sorry for rambling shake the bottle you're good.
Yes before I got my oh meter I don't realize my pH water with tiger bloom is 4.4 Sent from my XT907 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
My normal tap water is about 7.6 to 8.0, so when I add Fox Farm Nutes my Ph is about 6.4. it's an absolute necessity to have a PH meter.
