Should I Nute Now or Not?

My 3 plants just hit 31 days flowering and I finally received the FF nutes I ordered prolly about a month ago. I know the kids prolly only have 3 or 4 weeks to go and I'm not sure if nuteing them now is going to make much of a difference or not. So the question is should I nute the kids now or just let them finish and start fresh with the clones from them? and if so ne idea what part of the schedule should I use.

Thanks,
Poop

How are your plants looking? Leaves yellowing up substantially? If your plants look healthy, then no reason to nute them. Otherwise, I would feed them some growbig, big bloom, and tiger bloom. Follow the fox farm feeding schedule, but start at 1/4 the dosage. Since you are 31 days into flowering, you can probably go 1/2 strength. I'm assuming you are in FF Ocean Forest or Happy Frog?

They look really good actually, besides the fact of one of them being herme and a few seeds popping up besides that they look amazing. and actually i have 2 in ocean forest and then i have 1 in miracle gro organic mix. they all look bout the same for the most part. i wouldve gotten more ocean forest but the nearest shop is about 2 hrs away from here.

If they are doing well, you don't have to. However, there is still enough time that it can make a difference if you do it.

Should I just use all the nutes and just go with like a 1/4tsp per nute u think if i decide to use them? Or just big bloom and tiger? I've grown a few times b4 but this is my first real op with nutes so im new to that whole part of it.

If they haven't had any before, start with a lower dose, and work them up - less chance of nute burn that way. I always use my veg nute through the entire grow, keeps all my fan leaves from dying. I would go with all three.

OK! Well I did it lets see what happens. I Went with a 1/4tsp of each one. On Fox Farms feeding schedule they say 2tsp of Grow Big and Tiger Bloom and 1tbl of Big Bloom. I sure hope it'll be ok thats like 1/8 of what they suggest. prolly should've put more big bloom but ya kno whatever. I should have one more chance to do it b4 its flush time neway I think. Thanks for the help.

what kind of soil are you using? Don't rerally understand why you went with grow big if your already in day 31 of flowering? Did you go 12/12 from seed or what? More info would be good so we can get an idea of what's going on. The big bloom is pretty low in primary nutrients I'm going to be feeding 2 tablespoons/gallon every watering from here on out, but I have fed with 4 tablespoons/gallon in veg along with a 1/4 strength vegetative fertilizer no problem.

i have 2 plants in FF Ocean Forest and 1 in MG Organic Mix. on the fox farm site in their feeding sched it says to use Grow Big in the 5 wk of flowering i believe so I used it and its got trace minerals in it that are beneficial. And no i did not go 12/12 from seed. the plants are roughly 2 1/2 or 3 mos. old.

You're going to want to feed your plants grow big at least once or twice in the earlier stages of flowering as the feeding schedule recommends. The fan leaves on my plant turned yellow much faster than I would have liked because I had to leave them for 1 week. Had someone look after them with plain water only.
