i started flowering 3 days ago, so i went to home depot and the garden dude said i should use this for flowering, i noticed tiger bloom is 2-8-4 and this super bloom i bought is way stronger 12-55-6 is this too much for my flowering plants? dont want to kill them there doing so good, i got seeds from my uncle in hawaii so un known seeds at least there not mexican stress, most likely sativa, hoping its some type of indica, this is an indoor cfl grow by the way i will make tread soon, please help ive tried the search engine to no avail

any one got ne info

the higher numbers are generally chemical nutrients.. the lower numbers generally contain only organic nutrients although not always.. ive never had any experience with that stuff but if you can afford the 17 bucks a piece for a quart each of Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom its worth it... Big Bloom is completely Organic and contains only earthworm and bat shit.. its impossible to overfertilize with Big Bloom and is great stuff.. you can also follow the fox farm feeding schedule and add some of the extra SOLUBLES and get even better buds...

I know these work because i use the entire line of Fox Farm products myself.. and you can find many others on here who will agree.. its worth it to give your babies what they are after if you can! :P

It's actually about the same fert ratios as the Tiger Bloom, just more concentrated. I used it for my first 3 grows, and it worked great, mixed at 1/2 strength, once every 6-8 days. I was worried about lack of micronutrients, so i eventually upgraded to Dynagro. IMO, it's a better idea to spend $13 when you get a chance, and invest in some 'cannabis specific' fert, whether it be Dynagro or another brand. Ebay has it, nice and cheap. :cool:

if you decide to use it.. DO NOT use how much it says on the container.. start with 1/4 and if you dont see any stress bump it up a bit more until you do see stress and then bump it back down.. always remember a plant can still grow with less nutes.. but too much nutes will always kill them!

If your going to buy the chemical ferts from Lowes, Make sure you feed in this regimen water,water, then fert. Every third watering fert your plant. Or better yet, every 3rd week you will add the ferts. Chemical ferts are a direct feed, not like Organic. Please be careful.

chemical ferts kill most of the stuff growing in the soil. If you go chemical you should fertilize much more than with organic, but using less each time.

12-55-6 means its concentrated. nothing more.
12-55-6 sounds like major Potasium defiency to me if used alone.

My flowering fertilizer for my coco grow is chemical - Hesi Coco, and is 21-24-27. In the last 3-5 weeks I add PK of 13/14 at 1\3-1\2 the emount of the main flowering fert giving a solution of around 20-30-35.
Thats what my plants requier.

Giving them 12-55-6 will surely act differently.

I'm using this same exact stuff. And I follow what a previous poster said half every 3 waterings. I use soil and do 1 scoop (comes with a tsp scooper) per gallon of water.
