Dr. Hornby's Big Bud Formula Q's

Hello. So I have some questions about Dr. Hornby's Big Bud flowering nutrient. My buddy gave me a gallon of this stuff last year, and I think it was about a year old then, but the label has completely been washed off by the rain and I have no idea what the dosing level should be for this. Maybe 2 tsp per gallon? I am currently using fox farms grow big and big bloom mix, which I was told me a hydro store to use until flowering when I should then switch to Big bloom and tiger bloom mix.

My questions are: Would the Dr. Hornby's stuff still be good and should I use it instead of the fox farm blooming nutrients? And what are the dosing amounts? Thanks very much, any help is greatly apreciated.

2 millimeters per liter. I would toss it. Dont ask y, but I would.

Could I still use it for my fruit trees then? I have about 25 of those on my property. And I only have measuring utensils to measure in tsp or tblespoons etc, and gallons. Do you know the conversion for that?

5 milliliters to a tsp. 15milliters to a tblsp. 2 teaspoons per gallon at full strength

Schawgbag,
I would stick to the FoxFarm unless for some reason your unhappy with the FoxFarm line. The Dr.Hornbys stuff is probally still fine and as far as the dosage goes i have no idea but i would stick to the FF schedule If you go swithcin and mixing you might just mess it up (at least that what happens to me).
Are you ready to switch them to flowering now? Mine started as clones but are around 10" now and this is the first time i've used FoxFarm and my plants are loving it. Also FoxFarm has Beastie Bloom, Cha Ching, and Open Sesame that you can use with the Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom through flowering and from what ive heard and seen the stuff is amazing. (but pricey) you can get a trio of the 3 on ebay for around $76-$100 or at your hydro store for around $100. Im going to be trying it out this time around myself. Cant wait!
About the conversion you can go to google and get conversion charts that tell you how much is how much and i would use it on my fruite trees probally around 2 tblsp per gal maybe even 3 it all depend if the fruit trees are full grown. This year we re having to start proping up branches already on our apples and pears. A couple of years ago one of our pear trees was so full it fell over and competely up rooted.
Hope this helped you

I have Big Bud although I'm not in flowering yet so I haven't used it. The Advance Nutrient line is top-notch. 2 ml per liter is correct for the Big Bud. That equates to 7.58 ml per gallon (3.79 liters per gallon). You can find the product label on the Advance Nutrients website.

look on the advanced nutrients website. theres directions on how to use all their products.

Thanks for all the help guys. BigBudE my plants are growing outside. They have 1 month of veg time in, the biggest in about 3.5 ft tall, the others are around 1-2.5. Im hoping for all 10 to get to about 5-6 ft tall in my green house. I think I will stick with the Fox Farm line of nutes for sure so I dont mess it up. That's gnarly about your fruit trees, mine are just babies though at about 15-20 gal size
