I've read varying doses on how much TB to use during flowering, and wanted to know what dosage you've used and what your results were. FF's schedule says to use 2 tsp/gal, but I've read that's strong too. So what worked for you guys? EDIT:: My apologies everyone, I should offer details into what I'm doing. I've got 2 sativas and one indica, all in ocean forest, and i'm using tap water. Last night I did the Grow Big/Open Sesame combo. My alternate watering is with 1/2 of molasses and cocoa powder along with spirulina. I just transplanted them into 7 gal pots too.
Start with about 1/2 Tsp/gal and see how she reacts. Gradually up your dosage weekly until your up to 2 tsp/gal. Good luck!
I concur, 1/2 tsp per gal is fine every couple of waterings. And out of curiosity, what is the cocoa powder supposed to do?
I use the cocoa powder in conjunction with the molasses. I picked up some information here http://forum.grasscity.com/advanced-growing-techniques/431984-cocoa-powder-fertilizer.html I'll take some pictures tonight and post in my journal (which is here: http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-g...row-journal-pics-56k-warning.html#post6255184)
Not sure I buy this cocoa powder business, but I am curious to see if you get any results from it. Keep us posted. Good luck.
all plants respond different to the tiger bloom. but it is good practice to start way low than to start too high. this way you can find out what your plant likes. i find myself constantly performing mini experiments on my girls to find out what they like. this 1 will get this regimen while another plant might get more and so forth. cloned strains of course provide the constant.
I follow the FF soil schedule and it hasn't let me down to this point. But I do make a couple changes to it. I don't use TB until the stretch is over and they start to show a decent amount of pistils. I always continue using the veg schedule up until they are done stretching. Reason is, they are still vegging (duh ). But, I do switch over to the second salt that I can't remember the name of and am too lazy to get up and look atm. It's the one that is supposedly supposed to create the "numerous bud sites". I don't know if that's all a bunch of horse manure or not, but it works for me, and my plants seem to like it. I also use some magical once a week, and some hygrozyme every other week. The combination of those keeps everything healthy up top and on the bottom. If you're coupling the TB with the BB then go about it like the schedule says. If you're not, then watch your plants and let them tell you what they want. Any other advice is nonsense imo.
