Preflowering? Should I switch to Big Bloom or stay with Grow Big longer?

Outdoors, fem seeds. Plants still a little on short side, but that’s probably my fault. Ideally I’d like them to be a foot taller or so, but don’t want to mess up the harvest.

I would continue veg nutrients until stretch is complete.

Should be using both at this point.

*edit: just saw you posted big bloom. Big bloom should be used throughout. Should be adding in tiger bloom along with the grow big.

I’d follow this schedule, and start at week 4.
Depending on the size of the plant it may stretch up to a foot during flower.

I’m gonna pick up tiger bloom tomorrow for next feeding. I started seeds April 26. Last plant I had, which was given to me, was germinated roughly same time. We harvested end of October. That’s about 26weeks.

Is there an outdoor schedule for next time (googled and saw only the one above) or do you stretch this one out. Said on one I saw to repeat week 12 for longer grow cycles, but to this noob*, that seems like an awfully long time to be giving it just bud nutes. Would you just repeat week 4 until the daylight decreases or the plant shows signs of preflowering?

  • I am not a botonist nor a scientist so this stuff gives me anxiety until I’ve completed once.

Yes repeat week 4.

From the pics it looks like your plant is on the verge of being in actual flowering. Hence my recommendation of week 4.

Thanks for the help guys. It has calmed me down more than I can express. Here’s to next year’s grow being less anxiety, more fun!

I know it’d an older thread, but question here.

I’ve got grow big tiger bloom and big bloom.

Growing in soil…

Can I simply disregard the rest of those?

Are those centered around hydro?

Disregard all the other nutes/additives?
Sure. The “big 3’ you have is sufficient to bring most grows to completion.

The additional stuff is for bringing out more potential.

Right but I’ve pretty much already overdone it with just the big 3 lol. I’ll start playing with that other stuff once I get one under my belt lol

Since I originally posted, I now use all of them. I agree with sticking to the Big 3 for first grow. You will yield more by good training than using all those other nutes anyways IMO.
