Fox Farm feeding schedule

[brownredroost]

Sorry for asking this question, I knew it’s been gone over before. Just can’t find anything too recent.
My Hydroponics store said to use the FF trio full strength, but in the forums I read says to use it 1/4 to 1/2 strenght.
Just confused on which way to go, 1/4 to 1/2 or full strength like FF schedule and the Hydroponics store says.

Thanks in advance!

I am running Fox Farm.
Do not use full strength,start out at 1/4 strength for young seedlings and increase strength gradually during veg.
Do you own a ppm meter?
If not then you need to buy one.
Here is a run down of ppm's,
Seedlings and early sprouts,100-250 ppm's
Early veg,300-400
Full veg,450-700
Early flower,750-950
Full mature flower,1000-1600.

Start with 1/4 teaspoon on Grow Big and / or Tiger Bloom when the time comes. I only work up to 1/2 teaspoon of either at the most.

I also add Wholly Mackerel 1/2 tsp and Kelp Me 1/2 tsp as well along with CM and silica at 2 ml. The mix is for a gallon. I also add 2 tablespoons of Big Bloom (no worry about burning with this). Ph to 6.5.

I’m getting great results with this mix

I’d rather err on the side of caution and give a constant lighter dose with each water. I haven’t had any issue with any plant since

Remember, if you go the ppm rout, which I don't except for DWC
Water ppm, tap water, changes everything natureman said

Hell my tap goes from 300-500 ppm, I get rocks outa the tap ..lol

Seriously though, a base tap at 140ppm changes a lot.
So following the 1/4-1/2 max strength works well

I did Fox Farm Trio to start, went to 3/4 strength, torched my girls
