fox farms trio

Discussion in 'Growing Marijuana Indoors' started by FlyinSupahHigh, Apr 2, 2011.

  1. So my plants are a total of 2 months old...1 month veg and 1 month into flower. They have never had any kind of nutes so I was wondering how much I should start out with? Would it hurt with me already being a month into flower? Also do I mix into seperate gallons or the same gallon? I just bought the trio.
     
  2. Bump! Id like to start using these asap even if it will help only a little bit.
     
  3. dont mix in same container! mix each in its own. you should have used grow big in veg. you should use tiger bloom and big bloom up until flush (2 weeks before harvest)
     
  4. The solubles trio or the base nute trio? Either way just start using them now per the fox farms feeding schedule that is on their site.
     
  5. But I thought I heard ppl say to start at quarter strenth or something??
     
  6. hit it up with 2-3 tsp of tiger bloom every other watering they are old enough to handle it a tbsp of big bloom now and then has never hurt my girls feelings
     
  7. Thanks im gonna water and feed tom. morning. So I know for future grows,what else should I get as far as nutes and additives go.
     
  8. I use the same nutes and I start off with 1/3 then after 2 weeks do 2/3 recommended strength. My babes get feed at 2-3weeks old.
     

  9. Thanks.

    I've grown accustomed to ff trio and solubles... I have a personal schedule if your interested. Its detailed and im on da way home.. so sub'd and I all post when I get home u in soil or hydro bro...peace gix

    Edit: you Will need a ph up/down solution because using the ff line up your gonna have a ph swing low just so u know bro peace gix
     
  11. Okay how much should the ph stuff cost? And ya I would like to see your schedule too.
     
  12. About 100$ for PH pen, 20$for ph up/down,20$ calibrating/storage solutions
     
  13. And btw im in soil...for now.
     
  14. just ph your water to 6.6 - 6.8 then mix nutes.
     

  15. What kind of ph pen are you using

    And where do you get your ph up/down stuff at :confused:
     
  16. I seen a ph tester and ph up/down and a sun system 150w hps bundle for 160$ and it was all brand new...is that a good deal?
     
  17. The last 4 Products are used in small quantities and only at specific times during the grow.

    Here's the FoxFarms Feeding Schedule for Soil... Hydro is MUCH more complex, unless you use bubblers then you can follow a Phasic feeding schedule (At end of weekly schedule!)

    FOX FARMS FEEDING SCHEDULES


    WEEKLY FEEDING- per Gallon

    Sprouting and week 1--BigBloom 2TBS
    week 2-- 2tsp Grow Big + 2TBS Big Bloom
    Week 3--3tsp Grow Big + 2TBS Big Bloom
    Week 4--JUST 3 tspGrow Big + 1/4 tsp Open Sesame
    Week 5 same as week 4 unless going 12/12--

    Week 5- OR--day 1 of 12/12-- 2 tsp Tiger Bloom +1TBS Big Bloom + 1/2 tsp Open Sesame
    Week 6--same as above
    Week 7-- 2 Tsp Grow Big + 2 tsp Tiger Bloom +1TBS Big Bloom + 1/4 tsp Beastie Bloom
    Week 8-- 2Tsp Grow Big + 2 tsp Tiger Bloom +1TBS Big Bloom + 1/2 tsp Beastie Bloom
    Week 9-- 2 tsp Tiger Bloom +1TBS Big Bloom + 1/4 tsp Cha Ching
    week 10-- Same as above
    Week 11--2 tsp Tiger Bloom +1TBS Big Bloom + 1/2 tsp Cha Ching


    At beginning of week 11--Check Trichomes-- Flush if ready.. otherwise, continue as with week 11 every week until you flush!


    Also recommended--but not a necessity--
    Bush Doctor Sledgehammer (prevents lock-out)
    use 2 drops per gallon of water between feedings starting in week 4 of 12/12



    PHASIC SHEDULE: (per gallon)
    (follow this for bubblers, OR you can use these amounts when watering in soil but is not as good as the weekly schedule for soil!)

    New Clones, or when seedlings get 3 sets of leaves- 1tsp Grow Big + 2tsp Big Bloom
    Week 3 of veg (unless going 12/12) ADD 1tsp Grow big + 2 tsp Big Bloom
    4 Days Before going 12/12- Add ¼ tsp Open Sesame
    Day 1 of 12/12 Drain Reservoir & refill. Add 2 tsp Tiger Bloom + 1TBS Big Bloom + ½ tsp Open Sesame
    Week 3 of 12/12Add ¼ tsp Beastie Bloom
    Week 5 of 12/12Drain and refill reservoir Add 2 tsp Grow Big + 1 tsp Tiger bloom + 1 TBS Big Bloom + ¼ tsp Cha ching
    3-5 Days Before harvest-- Drain and refill reservoir add 2 drops Sledgehammer


    keep the res filled in between feedings with ph adjusted water--



    The reason Fox Farms doesn't list nutes for weeks 2 & 4 is that it ASSUMES your res won't go down, so you won't NEED any additional nutes (if your res stays full- great!)..
    but if the plants are pretty big, or the room is warm/dry-- they can need refilling up to 3-4x a week!!! The chart doesn't take that into account--
    Remember-- feed AT MOST 1x each week-- only water in-between!
    Use additional nutes from week one at 1/2 rate until in flower (between recommended feeds) then in flower-- for additional feeds, use the nutes from the 1st week of flower at 1/2 rate in between...again--NEVER feed more than 1x a week!

    Bubblers MAY use the weekly Schedules-- BUT ONLY if you use an ec/ppm meter to keep the levels where they should be....
    an ec around 1.2-1.5 in veg.. then 1.5 -1.7 in flower until the last 2-3 weeks... then can go as high as 2.0. Watch your plants! they'll tell you if you are over/under feeding!

    NOTE FOR PHASIC FEEDINGS
    Week ONE is NOT as soon as they are sprouted and have leaves! Week one is after they have 4 sets of true leaves---
    Start your new seedlings in JUST Ph adjusted water (can use hydrogard & superthrive)
    When they get their 3rd set of leaves--add HALF of the amount called for in phase 1 of your phasic schedule--
    When they open another 2 sets of leaves (fully!) then add the other 1/2 to bring it to the amount required for "Phase 1" this will greatly reduce the possibility of nute-burn or over feeding...and allows the babies to adjust to the nutes easier.

    Note about flushing
    If growing in Soil, you usually Start flushing (running clear water thru the soil to rinse out the unused nutes) 2 weeks prior to harvest. This is necessary to force the plant to use it's stored nutes & proteins, that otherwise result in harsh or grassy product.
    But flushing also OFTEN results in losing yield; since you will reduce the available nutrients to the plant during the last 2 weeks of growth when the plants usually put on the most weight.
    Simply STOP Nuting at whatever week you are at when time to flush.
    IF you use the Emergency flush method, follow the entire schedule until the plants are ready to harvest.


    Hope this helps all that use Fox Farms nutes.

  18. Thanks that was pretty helpful.
     
  19. im trying to learn more about bubblers and the phasic schedule. instead of making another thread can someone tell me why there is nothing past week 5 then to harvest? do i just follow a schedule of EC 1.2-1.5 in veg and 1.5-1.7 in flower and the directions are just an average of how the schedule goes? i will have a ppm meter to so is that the same as the EC readings? like how does those readings tell me which nutes i need to add and how much? im confused. if someone could give me the ppm im suppose to have to that would be great. i cant find much info on bubblers nutes. if someone could even just give me some links for this info it would be a great help. thanks
     
  20. Hydro is still too confusing for me.
