Confused about nutrients

Grow Support Autoflowers
1

My Girl Scout Cookies Extreme autoflower started flowering about a week ago. It snuck up on me and I hadn’t started any nutrients yet. I am using FF Ocean Forest soil. I just watered today and used Big Bloom from my FF trio. I only used 25% of the general feeding dose so 1 tablespoon per gallon. I was going to use Grow Big as well but realized that is the one with Nitrogen in it.

I don’t want additional Nitrogen at this stage, correct?

When do I want to start using Tiger Bloom?

When I do start Tiger Bloom should I stop using Big Bloom? Thanks.

Some nitrogen will help your plant, particularly during the stretch.

You’ll want to start using Tiger Bloom now and Big Bloom should be used throughout your grow as it contains micronutrients not found elsewhere in the Fox Farm lineup.

Be mindful of your PPM when dosing nutes.

I bought Bergmans plant food, week 6 says flowertime and plant booster, should you mix them together then water them, or mix them in different containers and water different days… Im confused,

Add both to water at time of feeding. Package may tell you which one to add first. Do not mix before adding (there’s a reason they are in different bottles).

They are powder I have to mix in water , so I should mix them in water separate then pour in plant one at a time , It doesn’t say on package how or which one first! I’m a beginner trying not to make a mistake! Thanks

Mix both into water you will be using. Best is to use a digital TDS meter and target a particular solution concentration. Something like around 800 ppm should do.

I appreciate it. I have seen this chart before. Unfortunately when growing an auto it seems like this chart is geared toward photos. Also taking into consideration FF Ocean Forest is supposed to have enough nutrients for 4 weeks or so that makes things even more complicated. I have also read in numerous articles that autos don’t really need any additional nutrients at all.

I think I will use Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom at this point at 25% dose. I don’t think I’m going to use the Grow Big this time since I am past the stage of needing Nitrogen. Thanks.
