who likes/dislikes fox farm grow big and why?

heard both ways

never had any problems with it

love it. it's a little pricey (25$ a bag) but more than worth it from what i can tell. not even close to anything else i've tried. and the Tiger Bloom nute is good too.

I had decent results with it for my very first grow way back when it was new but I swear by age old now all organic and the taste oh so clean but a note on the tiger bloom be careful that shit is gnar it will lower ur water ph like crazy

Its seems fine, im using it now and slowly switching over to botanicare..

I think it's terrific. It's expensive, but worth the investment.

HeHe...I ran out of Botanicare and had the fox farm trio and the solubles, so I have used them now for a while. Can't say anything bad except for the salty crust around cap tells me to be very careful...never more than half strength...get a ppm pen I do not go over 1000, but usually 750-900.

Botanicare I used half strength every watering, but FF I do EO, with a dilute tea as my base @ ~180ppm (plain (ph'd) water only for flush for me usually)

I have heard lots of good stuff about age old here and in veggie growing boards/Mother Earth News, and am thinking about giving it a try cuz the FF is not organic. And yes the Tiger Bloom is SUPER acidic. It is supposed to increase shelf life (nothing would grow in that shit). I use it along with a healthy dose of pH up. Big bloom (1.5Tablespoon/gal) and Grow Big (1 tsp/gal) together seem to balance each other out for the veg nutes, but the same mix sub Tiger Bloom for GB knocks the pH down in the 4's!

can't say anything about grow big itself.... but i have been using all 3 of their nutrients as well as the 3 solubles collectively and it works wonders.
the only thing is be careful not to over fertilize them, i use half strength and only feed every other water
