2nd grow

Last years grow produced a measly nickel of bud between two females- maybe even more than I expected as I kept them indoors a bit long and practically ignored them after I put them out...


Anyhow I have a number of plants, all random bagseed, with my three largest and oldest in 5 gallon buckets with a mixture of scotts garden soil, soil from the downhill slope of my horseshit pile, and horseshit, as well as stones on the bottom for drainage with 10 or so nickel sized holes in the bottoms.

Maybe not the best mix I know, but as of now they've had plenty of N. they're just over 3 feet in height and all are almost two buckets in width, not scraggly in the least.

I know I made a big mistake in not adding perlite, but screw it they're far from dead. healthy with nice thick stalks actually. no plans to further transplant them.
No preflowers yet, so I assume the plants have much to grow before the seasons over.

So a question: what should I be looking to add for nutrients from here on out? Would FF Big Bloom be sufficient?

FF is a wonderful nutrient company but there are bigger and better but ff is top of the line if you are low on budget. And there is nothing wrong with using it it can grow huge buds. With alot of effort put forth to keep them from bugs and mould. They will grow dense and sticky!! Dont mind him for his rudeness just know you are doing the right thing brother!!!

Peace & Pot!!!!

Talk about 6th grade, you couldn't even make an educated post with any truthful information.

Anyway, now for some actual help; as Norcal and CJ said, Fox Farms is a premium nutrient company (and by no means cheap). Many growers on this forum use it and swear by it and wouldn't use anything else. As Norcal said they have a great trio lineup of the Grow Big, Big Bloom, and Tiger Bloom. The Grow Big is used for vegging and the Tiger Bloom is for flowering. You use the Big Bloom the whole time throughout the entire grow.

So in short, if you are looking for flowering nutrients I would highly recommend the Fox Farms Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom. Just start with 1/2 the recommended amount (like 1 Tsp. of Tiger Bloom, and 1/2 TBsp. of Big Bloom per gallon of water) and then slowly work your way up to full strength.

Good luck and feel free to ask any other questions you may have! Looking forward to seeing some pics! :bigjoint:
