@appleyardjr267 you can start giving them flowering nutrients about a week in advance. Light doses at first, you just want the nutrients available before they’re needed. ---

I would just follow your particular manufacturers instructions. Each kind of run their bottles NPK differently and such apply each bottle a little differently. ---

This one covers you if you’re not using the FF Dirty Dozen. The two charts differ, due to the use of many products vs 3-6 products. The sledgehammer or something like it (Botanicare Clearex) is a must have with the FF nutes. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/7/0/70221a6d36db5023d0376bb5b80257bfc3b66838.jpg) I know @Covertgrower posted this already but… ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/6/6/6635df73854b690b2a5dd061ea7be082e2744d7e.png) ---

FF nutes are kinda like fast food for the plants. They have you mix in nutes together to give an appropriate NPK level for the stage of development. @raustin uses these nutes according to the schedule with great success. Maybe she’ll jump in here. ---

The chart has you slowly increase nutrients. You might get a little tip burn, but that is exactly what you want. It lets you know that you were feeding just above what they need ---

At wk7 you should be using the other nutes added in as well. Never mix the concentrates together. You must add them one at a time into the water. ---

I would keep feeding the wk4 nutes until the plant gets larger that before flipping. This is all just preference though. The larger the plant, space permitting, the more final weight ---

Thanks for jumping in @Budbrother what a time to be out of likes. If I would change anything on the Fox Farms schedule, I would give a little bit extra nitrogen into flowering to support the stretch. Then back off after it’s finished stretching. @appleyardjr267 When I used FF nutrients, the plants showed nitrogen deficiency too soon for my liking. Since you are a new grower, I recommend following the schedule for best results. ---
