Fox farms makes a great organic line Bottle of grow big and big bloom outa do ya. they sell a trio pack with tiger bloom but thats only partial organic.

 

[quadracer]

is this foxfarm a three step nut?? what is it called and is it good for growing pot?

 

[Mutt]

You can get a trio pack. Grow Big for veg Big Bloom for flower and tiger bloom for last part of flower. They have a chart online...but i found its really not aimed at MJ. You only mix one at a time not a 3-part. Grow herb fine for me.

thanks for the info my friend

 

[papabeach1]

the far I can go organic was bat guanos mixed with fish eyes.. it's good too..

A good friend of mine has gone organic and is struggling with the odor from the nute solution. It seems like he needs to clean to reservoir thoroughly every couple of weeks as the stuff decomposes. maybe a cooler would help...

 

[quadracer]

im sure that could create a problem

If you get into organic teas yes. but the store bought organics aren't bad at all no worse then chem ferts. but brewin organic teas can get smelly. but think about it mixing guano castings manure in a bag and bubbling it for set amount of times (24-48hrs depending on brew) of course gonna get smelly

"Grow Big" 4 veg.. (6-4-4)...but
Big Bloom is the "addative" or supplement..([FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica](0.01-0.3-0.7)
"Tiger Bloom" [/FONT]is your "flowering" nutrient at (2-8-4) ...[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica][/FONT]

I am using Earth Juice grow, bloom, and micronutes and everything is doing pretty well so far. They are almost 4 weeks and look pretty good except one plant is kinda messed up, but I think it is because it got burned by the light.

I thought the abbreviated (.01,.02) etc on the big bloom was due to the nature of the fertilizer and not that it was an additive. I use the fox farm trio now and have used big bloom exclusively in the past. I also was under the impression that tigerbloom was the additive. I'm so confused.

 

[astrobud]

i bought some ff big bloom and tiger bloom on sat. the guy in the store told me the same as hick says, big bloom is the additive, tiger blooms for flowering

Hi everybody......just want to mention 'black strap molasses' mixed with some bat guano 0-8-0 in a tea, SEEMED to increase the size of my buds, but I had nothing to compare it with because I only had one female last year and she flowered in front of a window facing south.....a Bubblegum from bcseed....got a smidge more than two ounces from her.....they were goopy-sticky though.....want to try Fox Farm soil this year.......my salesman claims he went to school with those guys and he gets it at the cheapest price, $14.95 a bag......

I had to reply, topic title and all.

Quad, these are all good replies, if you feel like going more 'hands on' with your organics, check out my journal...it's an oldie but goodie. :ignore:

I don't want to start a debate, but I'd like to comment on the big bloom. In my opinion, it is not a flower fert, it is actually more of a catalyst. You cannot grow hydro in it alone, and the reason why is it is not really a plant food. Might lose some of you here, but it is food for your soillife, (or benefical fungi, nematodes, and bacteria). It pumps them up and they release the ferts they are holding and get cracking on breaking down more....from your soil, which is the food. Google mycorrhizael fungi or 'soil food web' to learn more.

This is actually the same exact reason molasses is so misunderstood.

Weird, in a way, when I was using it, it kinda was my flower fert...everything else was added in the form of dry ferts before hand.

Checkout TBG's old journal on MG soil and big bloom...the way he used it caused the time release nutes in his soil to be used in time, at the right time (flower)....instead of after the plant is harvested. MJ's lifespan is much shorter than most houseplants.
