Do you recomend using other Fox Farm ferts? I am using Botannicare Pro Grow now but only have 2oz left. Enough for one more watering. I have a bottle of Fox Farm Grow Big after that runs out. Now for flowering I was just gonna use Fox Farm Big Bloom. What do you think you would change?
Also I plan to flower with 3 plants per 1000 watt HPS. I have 8 foot ceilings and no real time frame. My tallest plant is 25 inches and the shortest about 13. They are in 15 gallon pots. My question is how long would you veg or how tall would you let them get before you flower them to maximize your yield?? Thanks again Eman and believe me all props due.
Stunzeed..
I tell ya Stunzeed, I am a bit of an organic fanatic. I find the more I learn about organics though, the tougher it is to stay that way. Alot of products start out listed, but are often removed a year or 2 later. Where they organic to begin with? I dunno...but I do my best to keep up.
From what I understand, PBP grow is organic, Fox Farm grow big is not. PBP bloom is not organic, but Fox Farm big bloom is (actually big bloom is the only FF liquid fert that is). Gets to be a bit frazzling after a while....I have all of the products above and they work really well...but my stubborn determination to stay organic won't allow me to use the synthetics. In all reality though, with a good soilmix like Ocean forest, you won't need any ferts in veg...or up to 24" or so.
I should have thought to add some big bloom to the recipe above, it gets much play in my flower room, but here again it is not really necessary. There are a few other products like Biobizz (I have) and Earth Juice (not yet) that are organic and work great too, but I mostly use mega soil amendments and hardly any liquid feedings at all. Seems harder that way, but it isn't...and is exponentially cheaper. I just got another request for my current mix in my grow journal, so I am gonna spend alot of the day putting up the best post I can on that, please check it out later tonight.
As far as vegging, you have more than 1 1kw? And 3 plants per light? WOW...you are gonna be swimming in weed.
In my honest opinion, flip them now. I couldn't wait to get my first grow over with just to see every thing happens, and my second grow is looking to do much better.
edit: After a puff puff coffee
, I decided to come back and add a bit more
. I don't really think anyone is really prepared for the explosive growth MJ puts on when flipped to flower. I flipped 3 plants, probably 24", and even though I don't have a scale, would say I easily cleared a pound, and my Jack Herer bybrid sativa finished out just under 7' tall...easily doing half of that pound by herself.
