Using Fox Farm's Nutrients for flowering?

Next time I’m switching to Jack’s nutrients because of this website, but for the rest of this flowering stage I’m finishing with Fox Farm.

I don’t have any liquid Fox Farm left so but do have two of the granule ones.

So Beastie Bloomz says “mid to late flowering” and then the Cha Ching says “for the final weeks of flowering through harvest”.

When am I supposed to change the nutrients from one to the other? I know the predicted harvest time of my autoflower plants is exactly one month from now, so what do they think “final weeks” means? :thinking: :thinking: :thinking:

Thanks!

These are both additives designed to go with base nutrients. I wouldn’t expect either to support your plants by themselves anyway.

The fox farms feeding schedule using beastie blooms weeks 3 and 4 of 12/12 and cha ching for remainder of grow. I would just download the schedule from their website and use that as a guideline.

Oops, just found this on their website. It looks ridiculous. There’s no way anyone is going to buy all of these products and keep on that kind of a feeding schedule. Jeez!!! :astonished:

I have Jack’s 10-30-20 in the house already, should I add Jack’s to the Fox Farm?

I’m pretty sure the 10-30-20 is also a flowering supplement. I’m not too familiar guaranteed analysis on it, but I suspect would need some help.

So for 2 weeks your going to give zero nitrogen. Hmmmmm

I’d say go for it!
Jack’s says it works with everything out there and it’s certainly not gonna hurt the plant, Add either one you want - they’re both bloom boosters. Maybe add half of their recommended dose and check your PPMs. If they’re in your target range you should be good.
Add it last.
Ph afterwards.

Uh oh, I don’t do anything for pH. My tap pH is 7.8. A little high, isn’t it supposed to be 6-7?

6.5 is the sweet spot but nutrients will usually drop it lower than the ideal range.
Pretty much any nutrient you mix into the water is gonna change the Ph of the solution. You’re basically doing a chemical equation when you add and combine things into water.
Some systems are so specific they say they should be mixed in a certain order, which of course is widely ignored, but that’s what they say! LOL!
You should really be checking the Ph and PPMs of your solution before you give itto your plants to ensure you’re in the proper range.

What device do you use to check your pH and PPM?

I’ve liked using Fox Farms dirty dozen (minus flowers kiss). After a while you get quick at putting it together and ph upping it.
