i just started my plants on a 12-12 lighting schedule a couple days ago, and i was wondering if just using tiger bloom alone is enough. it says for best results to use it with big bloom too, i was just wondering if anyone knows wether or not u need to use them together or if tiger bloom alone would be enough, thanks

i got both of them but the only way to tell is to use it but i would use both just to be safe, each one gives the plant something different to help with growth

big bloom should be used everyday of the plants life more or less its pretty weak. so you can totally bud with the tiger bloom, i'd hit them with a little nitrogen in week 3 as the ff schedule suggests.

i disagree on using the big bloom everyday and when you add both the nutes together it makes a strong combination which is good

you disagree on the daily part or what? cus you say you like the combo. i mean watch how your plants respond, i used it almost everytime i watered untill the 5th week flower or so. i sorta forget what ff recomends but i think you use it through all of veg and all of flower

If you dont use both you will end up with problems.I did the opposite and just used big bloom and ended up with a nitrogen defiency

She is nute burned for sure...I highly reccomend flushing immediately and then going to 1/2 strength nutes for a week, then to 3/4.
What is the TDS ppm of the solution you are feeding? If the answer is "I dont know cause I dont have a meter" then quit asking nute questions and go buy a meter! I say this with love....
Also Tiger Bloom is VERY low in PH so if you are not correcting the PH your problems will persist.
Also FF recommends using BB every day of the grow. Its not flowering food like the name suggests, rather an all around buffer and stabilizer.
Also you have to continue to use the GB in flowering, simply check the FF feeding schedule and will answer all of these questions.

Dont run your co2 at night,plants only need co2 during lighting.Your waisting your gas.

I use one tablespoon and no more,I never go by the directions.They are allways too strong and stunt my plants.Some strains can handle more than others the one tablespoon is where I start before adjusting

cool i said that all messed up im meant i run co2 in my room and it only gets to 70 at night.not that i run my co2 at night.and thanks i have 3 strains and the other ones seem to like all the nutes. that why I was sort of lost.makes sense different strains different level of nutes
