Fox farm soluble trio cha ching?

Just started week 4 of 12/12 not sure if I should stick with beastie blooms or switch over to cha ching.

Current nutes: ff grow big 3tsp/gal(npk 0 - 0.5 - 0.7)
Ff tiger bloom 2tsp/gal(npk 2 - 8 - 4)
Ff beastie blooms 1/4tsp/gal(npk 0 - 50 - 30)

Next nute change is:

3tsp/gal ff big bloom
2tsp/gal ff tiger bloom
1/4tsp/gal ff cha ching (npk 9 - 50 - 10)

You are absolutely no where near cha ching.

Cha ching is a once a week application for only the last 2 weeks.

You legit just began flowering.

Keep running beasty, but I would use half of the recommended dose. Cha ching is more for week 6+

It also seems you are not following the schedule.

You have zero big bloom in there. Which happens to be the one constant through out.

Its also the only one that is organic.

Looking back you have your nute names mixed up.

Grow big is a 6-4-4 and big bloom is a 0-5-7

Even then you still need grow big in your plants diet for supplemental nitrogen.

Here's the hydro chart. It still has all 3 running BB, GB, and TB. Your missing nutes. I suggest not going full strength

Must have slipped up there. Fortunately my plants seem to be taking it well. I thought you were supposed to cut nitrogen in early/mid flower.

Not totally. Its a misnomer. Some nitrogen is needed during flower for sure. Just not the same amount as during veg.

Nitrogen is used by the plant for its entire life cycle. They yellow "Fade" so many seem to think is desired is actually the plant starving.


"Nitrogen is so vital because it is a major component of chlorophyll, the compound by which plants use sunlight energy to produce sugars from water and carbon dioxide (i.e., photosynthesis). It is also a major component of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Without proteins, plants wither and die."


I see so many pictures of people's plants with crispy yellowing and dying leaves midway through flower. It's best to feed balanced nutrients from start to finish. Cutting off nitrogen while adding excess amounts of phosphorus and potassium is not the best fertilization practice. But it seems to be common these days with many cannabis growers. You'll find many in the Marijuana Plant Problems section.

Guess I'll add the grow big back in tonight.
