Need help! Advanced Nutrients, soil grow...

I wanted to know for those that have used Advanced Nutrients with soil grows, what feeding schedule you put them on (I've got the three part Micro, Grow, and Bloom). I've been holding off on using nutrients because I'm using a good FoxFarm soil and didn't find it necessary. I've searched around and can't find a good feeding/mixing schedule anywhere for the flowering period (or any for that matter).

Setup is a 400 watt HPS/MH. Day 35.

Any more information I'd be happy to provide.

Bump.

I have the same question. Day 2 of flowering and i have never fed them anything. what are some good flowering fertilizers to use in a soil medium?

Bonus points for inexpensive ones!
 
I am using the advanced nutrients two part bloom formula, carbo load and bud candy. you just have to convert ml to tsp and liters to gallons (gallon water jugs work well for me). there are 3.79 liters in a gallon and 5ml in a tsp. so I multiply the ml requirement by 3.79 then take that and divide it by 5 (tsp). Confusing, I know!
example. Budcandy says 2ml per liter x 3.79 (liters per gallon)= 7.58 ml divided by 5 (tsp) =1.52 tsps per gallon.
I've been using this formula for 4 weeks now with almost flawless results (over ferted once and burned my tips a bit). I feed them with the nutrients every third day and just tap water the other two.

I know I like to use a little glass jar that once I know general amount to use say how many ml I just recall the water line position and fill to that spot, right now I am using GMB in veggie and connesouir in bloom, but switching to iguana juice and only the 100 percent organic nirvana they offer. I am also going to look into 100 percent organic benefecials, I mean why not keep it hundred on the organics advanced nutrients? Peace in wisdom , Salome, omfalon murado

Its 4 mil per liter , or whatever works best, the forum guy fatman, which I know nothing about only read from another post that someone else posted that the plants won't ever absorb more than 650 ppm most at a time. Also organic nutrients , not all are read by the ppm meter , figured might help someone. Edit- I also read moleasses only feeds beneficial that eat elements and excrete nutrients maybe? I don't think it is nutrient salts they poop out, fairly certain it is carbon, I'm not a scientist, nor do I play one on tv . Peace in wisdom , saalome , omfalon murado

I use the AN ph perfect M,G,B and I like it alot. I use 2ml per liter and have no issues of any kind so far. I am into my 4th week of flower. I added Big Bud and B52 after the flip. Will add Overdrive at weeks 5 and 6 and coast down from there.
I am growing in a soiless mix of Peat moss, vermiculite and perlite ( 1 to 1 ratio)

During the veg phase, I did a 6 day cycle. day 1 feed, nothing on day 2 and 3, just distilled water on day 4, nothing on 5 and 6, then repeat. After the second week of flower, I started feeding every 2 days as the ladies are drinking a ton now. I do not water in between like I did in veg, I feed 2ml per liter of nutes every time now.

I would start light on the nutes and go up from there. As I was told, easier to add than take away. I would say that the prescribed 4ml per liter is too heavy a dose, this stuff seems to be very concentrated.

Hope this helps

Peace and Great Grows
