@John33 not at all, I started off this plant with a full dose of nutes this time. My plant was a little thin my first grow :joy: so I started at week 5 this plant with 3tsp of big bloom, 2tsp each of grow big and tiger bloom, 4 weeks into flower I dropped to 2.5 tsp of big bloom, 1.5 tsp each of grow big and tiger bloom and now it gets 2tsp of big bloom and one tsp of tiger bloom, no grow big the last couple weeks. This Saturday will be the last time I feed her. Next week it’s just watering and florakleen

Not to jump in on @JiggaMan1987 great pointers but I grow both autos and photos and keep them at 1000 PPMs after the seedling stage and around week 2-3 of veg :love_you_gesture:

@OGIncognito I honestly never check my ppms, I have two tds meters too, just never figured it out. Luckily I haven’t really needed it. He’s right tho @John33

Good thing Brother on never having to use it. Learned the hard way with FF nutrients and trying to hit some of their numbers on the feed schedule. Never occurred to me that it’s counting other additives versus straight base and a little flowering nutes. Let me know if you want a simple run down :love_you_gesture:

I appreciate it, I think I’ve gotten the FF nutes down to a science kinda. I don’t use the recommended dose and I don’t flush three times throughout my grow like their schedule says to. They’re products are amazing but they’re greedy as hell as far as a company, trying to get people to use way more nutrients than necessary and then flush it repeatedly throughout the grow so u just keep using up nutes so u gotta buy more SMH @OGIncognito

Nailed it Brother! I gave the FF trio up after my 1st run and went to Jacks. My complete set up was old school and in my garage. I still mix at 2 gallons a time for my reservoir fills…old habits are hard to break and not needed if their healthy :love_you_gesture:

Everyone keeps telling me how good Jack’s is. I want to try their stuff but I’m kinda stuck in my ways with these FF nutes. I absolutely luv the results I get from their products, soil and nutes, but the cost is a little much. U get what u pay for tho, I’ve always said that. I’ll gladly pay a little more if the results are gonna be worth it

Thanks guys i have been feeding way low, around 400 509 ppm untel earlier this week i bumped it up to above 900 and my plants seem to be liking it.

You won’t regret the switch Brother. I was a Fox Farm nute guy before I switched to Jacks 321 and jacks for tap. Way cheaper and cleaner, a little goes a long way. :love_you_gesture:
