So I should add cal-meg and big grow next feeding? My plant is 41 days old I think. I started them 11/17/24

Greetings, brother.
Start at the 5 week mark on the chart using the big three, all of them full feedings. Add in the cal/ mag. 1 teaspoon per gallon.
Mix up a gallon jug per plant. PH to 6.5 feed 3 quater of a gallon thru each until you get run off. Water slowly very slowly. Lift pots before watering then after a full watering. Remember the weight. Do this again in three days when your pots lighten up. Scratch the surface if dry down 1 inch feed again. Throw out nutrients or feed to house plants or garden that is left over.

Itās a bit confusing on the dosage of the ff trio. How many mills per gallon should I do of each one? Not including the cal-meg. You already told me how much to use of that. Thank you!
Greetings, brother.
3 teaspoons of Big Bloom, 2 teaspoons of Grow Big, and 2 teaspoons of Tiger Bloom. Per gallon.

Greetings,
Down load a chart if you canāt read the one i sent. You will need it every week for two feedings. The chart shows all of the dirty dozen. You want big tasty buds you will want to try and get all of these nutrients. Especially the bud builders. Your nutrients store should have some. The charts as well.

Greetings,
Didnāt know if I sent you right.
I was wondering if you had a moment to explain your chart you sent me.
Question was starting how to start out with the seedling @ 21 days. Thank you.

There are various methods of doing a flush, but in short, a flush is done with 3 times the size of the vessel in water. Since youāre using 3 gal pots, prepare 9 gals of phād water, the last one being the next feed (so 8 & 1). (I watched a video that said you only had to pH the last gallonā¦thatās ok I guess 
I adjust pH of all liquid going in) Mix the Sledgehammer per instructions, saturate soil with the Sledgehammer mix, let set 15 - 20 mins. Follow that by flushing through the 8 gal water, followed by the next feed. Some say feed should be half strength. (not me)
This was one of the reasons I got away from salt nutes, didnāt have the time frame for flushing every 3 weeks. I still have to flush occasionally, when I goof and get one nute or pH locked, that should happen less with experience. Later

Okay so Iām gonna say what Iām going to do on Sunday or the next time I water.
Sledgehammer flush with 8 gal of phāed water of 6.5.
Then mix 1 gal of water with
3teaspoons big bloom
2 teaspoons grow big
2 teaspoons of tiger bloom
1 teaspoon of cal-meg
Then ph the water and divide the water between the 3.
Did I miss anything? Iām going to go based off this next watering at week 5 on the ff chart. Thanks for all the help man I really appreciate it and if these buds end up coming out Iāll give you a huge shoutout. So thanks man.

@SolomanGrundy I put my seeds directly in my wet 3 inch net pots with a 2 inch rockwool cubeā¦then I place in my tote/reservoir with a clear cup over the net pot and light at DLI 20ā¦then I prepare my 5 gallon bucket with the 21 day nutesā¦and prep my air stonesā¦then after 24 hours I put the nutrient and air stones in the tote and let the grow beginā¦ I leave this nutrient solution in the tote for 21 days to allow for the plant to develop the microbes it needs in the toteā¦I typically only come on the forums in the mornings so keep that in mind when asking me a questionā¦it may be the next morning before I answerā¦

Greetings,
1st at this point you are going to follow the fox farm feeding chart YES at the 5 week mark Yes use the following.
3 teaspoon of big bloom
2 teasoon of grow big
2 teaspoon of tiger bloom
1 teaspoon of cal mag
Mix and ph to 6.5
This is the mixture PER 1 gal.
YOU SAID YOU HAVE 3 GALLON POTS SO.
Depending on how many plants you have you need to put 3 QUARTS of mixed nutrients into each 3 gallon pot plant slowly until you get run thru. GET an little run thru.
You can measure that run thru and test for PH and E.C. or PPM. IF you wanted.
Since you have not been feeding they DONāT need to be flushed at this time. You missed feeding for 4 weeks as per the chart before if you were to do a FLUSH.
Now from here on out you are to use the feeding chart week by week until it tells you to do a flush.
Next when you do mix up a flush you will run 6 quarts of mixed sledghammer thru, double the amount you usualy feed each plant. Using 3 gallon pots.
Just information I use 5 gallon pots so it makes it easier because the fox farm nutrients are mixed to a 1 gallon of water and that is what is needed for a 5 gallon pot feeding. And when I flush I mix up 2 gallons and flush thru.
Just more information the bigger the pot the better the plants root system and use a good air pot. I use rain science grow bags.
You will get more yield and the plant will love you.
Hope you have this if not keep asking until you are clear, you want to protect what you have grown this far. No question will not be un answered.
Thanks have a blessed day.

Greetings, brother.
Thank you for your kind words. I am a old guy growing and helping others with my fruits of labor. I used to grow for my health needs but the comfort care pain management hospice I am in will not allow me anymore, they give me pretty hard hitting stuff. RA, and getting ready to have my 35th surgery next month. I am going in to the hydroponics grow world in February after surgery healing. I canāt wait to work with you all. I got a wonderful looking grow schedule from retired old guy, i canāt wait to begin. I am sure I will need you alls support as well. I have been in the fox farm world for years soils and nutrients plus some add ons. I love trying to help others and just pray that my advice helps them.
Thank you for your time and support brother.
