Feeding Schedule Questions?

Hi I am using Fox Farm Ocean Forrest potting soil and the full line of Fox Farm Nutrients, my question is if I go by the feeding schedule provided by Fox Farm it says to feed with every other watering. I will be vegging for one month and then flowering for approximately 9 weeks, if I feed like they tell me to then I will not finish the full feeding schedule( week one OK then week three would be week two and so on). would it be OK to follow the schedule but feed every week with half of the recommended dose on the chart?

yes . i'm a hydro grower (soiless) but i do use fox farms nutes with open sesame big bloom and cha ching. i used my nutes at half the strenght and got better results. you can always add a little more nutes but it's really hard to try to flush them out. the suggested ppms that fox farm recomends is really high. had problems with burning leaves at that high of ppm. but at half to 3/4 strenght fox farms nutes work really well. i also had better results turning the nutes back towards the last stages of flowering. helped get the taste better. one of problems with hydro.

I use foxfarm (soil) and I make a few modifications but for the most part I follow the sched.

Half stregnth for the first feeding then work up to full.
