A friend gave me a brand new jar of it. Said he ruined his grow feeding it to them.
I’ve never used it, but my understanding is that it should only be used during a very specific period of flower, and not for the whole growth.
Thoughts?

It is likely that your friend had a bad experience because the Cha Ching submarined his pH.
Cha Ching is a bloom booster. The bloom booster products are snake oil imho. All they are is a more concentrated version of the P and K product that you already use. Adding additional PK isn’t going to make much of a difference except perhaps screwing up your NPK ratio and submarining your pH (these products are typically very heavy on acidic mineral salts.)
Fox Farm products are very salty as they are. Adding bloom boosters just makes the situation worse.

Nearly all the cannabis supplements are just some of the same things in your day to day plant food. A little extra potassium and phosphorus are good during flower, but most of the time you can supplement that by just upping the amount of something you already have. I have tried several of them and now I just stick with my regular food.
This isn’t rocket science, but if you want it to be, then there’s a lot of stuff you can try.

I had no problem using the FF soluble trio. Just the cha ching tho might be a lil tricky. How are you planning on using it?

After reading all the posts here, I’d say no. If I did, it would be very cautiously.
I can understand how my friend may have screwed it up. I was over his home and he had bottles and jars of nutes everywhere. So chances are he’s burning the hell out of his plants.

Used in this grow.
A specific nute line isnt responsible for raised or lowered ph, it falls on the user to manage the effects of nutrition on the soil. Just my 2 cents. You can use whatever you like to feed your plants, how much and how often will depend on what your growing. FF isnt cannabis specific so alot of people find difficulty in using it. Some nutes are, like Kosher Nutrients for example.

Cha-ching is made for the end of your grow end of flower the last few weeks it’s to finish the plants off
Bloom boosters and products such as finish work quite well as long as you know how to use them you can’t just wing it same with your nutrients you can’t just wing it things have to be measured out precisely to work properly otherwise you will give your plant too much of one thing and it will lock other things out lot of crazy advice being thrown around here the first two responses

I’m a little confused myself. I use Green Planet Duel fuel 1, Dual fuel 2, Rezin, Vitathrive , Liquid weight, and Massive bloom. So am I falling for a scam, sort of just to get me to buy more products? And I don’t need to use all this?

I think thats subjective. There is no yes you do or no you dont answer. Perhaps better asked is, can I use all this? The answer is yes.

? Not sure what crazy advice I gave ?
I’m not sure that stating the “what”, “how”, and “why” is crazy at all.

Ive used all the solubles for the ff bloom boosters. I prefer beastie bloomz personally but if you do not overdue it, can be beneficial. Alot of people find a dislike for ff nuted. Tougher to use but fire can still be grown. Just dont overdue as i already said, it will pk burn your plants, so follow the feed chart.

It’s not stating to what how or why that’s bad it’s you spreading that bad information about Bloom boosters and all this being snake oil they’re very beneficial if you know how to use them same with the way you guys talk about measuring out your newts I mean a rounded teaspoon of each that’s way off base the ratios would be four too would be a full teaspoon and a half teaspoon the way you’re measuring would put things way off balance

Lets put this to rest Gentlemen.
All 3 of the ff dry trio are amonium phosphate or monopotassium phosphate heavy, and you will see these two items in any/all synthetic nutrient packages in one way or another. Thus the term “snake oil” is probably a little bit of a stretch. However, to suggest this packaging may be unnecessary in the presence of a complete base nutrient package is completely fair.
Lets not forget that we’re all on the same team here.

Disrespectful attitude towards others will get you a time out. Please move on and be polite. Like stated; we’re all on the same team.
As an aside; I agree with @MidwestGuy. Using these products improperly will cause issues.
Adding a P, K boost is beneficial around transition. Running high P, K numbers at or close to harvest does nothing as the plant has what it needs to finish by then. In many cases the claims are snake oil.

then you obviously have never tried pushing the boundaries of growing you must be content with the same old same old myself I try to improve every grow boosting those numbers in late flower along with UVB will turn your grow around 100%, you would be shocked at what you see but if you’re content I guess keep smoking your same old weed I strive to improve on every aspect

Dude; you are on transmit. Put it on receive. You don’t know me and I don’t appreciate being called out by you. Keep it going and I will give you a lovely vacation.
I’m leaving this up here for now as a cautionary note to others: be nice. Disagree all you want. Otherwise you’ll get the big boy consequences.
