Fox Farm: Additives - Do I Have to Use All of them?

[@AboveasBelow]

I believe you said the Flowers Kiss foliar spray contains Yucca extract but that's incorrect. Sledgehammer (the flusher) contains the yucca extract.

Wow Mark you win the internet today! Thank you so much for the explanation and guidance, I really appreciate it a lot. The flowering in Washington thing becomes a problem because it's just not enough time to finish without the decay of fall getting into the air, I was plagued by molds the first time I grew outdoors here. Now when growing outdoors I turn them artificially and cover the every night so the stay in 12 and 12. I live in a micro climate zone, If I was just 100 feet lower in elevation the molds would be bearable and beatable. At any rate it benefits me because I harvest out earlier than everyone else when outdoor growing. I had no idea there were charts outlining this subject. :) The detailed information you gave about the nutrients really helped me sort out what I plan to do. I am just now starting a small indoor crop and needed to address some issues I've had with past grows (I still consider myself a beginner even though I've grown about 50 plats in my life). I'm gonna go with the Micro-brew, The Kelp Me Kelp You and the Bembe as well as the 6 base nutrients. I've had toxicity issues in the past and I'm confident I was doing something wrong, I'm equally confident that I now have the info I was missing. Your right I have always noticed a better finish with the Bembe (or sugars), it helps get rid of the gamey, wild flavors. I also wasn't PH'ing as often as I should have. I now have the right equipment to employ it every time and have been practicing/experimenting on late season tomatoes to get my method down and to become comfortable with the additional process. I'm gonna be watching your other videos as I can, learning more about what is and isn't. I consider channels like this a cut above the rest as clearly you went out of your way to help, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope all is good in your neck of the woods, thank again and take care. - Aaron :)

[@brianprigmore7598]

This guy has no idea of what he is talking about! Flowers Kiss IS NOT a Yucca extract. That would be Sledgehammer. And Boomerang is nothing like kangaroots or microbe brew. It's a first aid product that has B1, Glomus, and Zinc for saving damaged plants. Kangaroots and Microbe are similar. Kangaroots has Humic (for roots) Microbe Brew has molasses for microbes. Thats the difference. DO NOT DRENCH FLOWERS KISS! It's a foliar!

[@dogmosatchmo]

The feeding schedule is a guide, not concrete. Foxfarm themselves at an expo say to use most of these, when signs of deficiencies are shown, and to use the liquid trio throughout, and the powder trio in flower. The others are there to address issues. You can use them all, but at no point will you HAVE to.

[@scottsteward3392]

What about their gringo rhasta ...??? Should I use it also

[@johndoegta2189]

i notice no one really talks about how mixing the trio drastically changes the npk ratio of your feeds. I assumed fox farms has a formula for npk that uses all the products listed on their feed schedule so simply feeding at the recommended doses for only the trio would be incorrect as far as npk goes from what I understand. For example week 3 calls for 6ml of bb and 3ml of gb but this npk comes out to 2-1.6-1.8 not very optimal for veg growth so what I do is mix them to get a 3-1-2 or 3-1-1 which is what I see most people recommend for vegging then I dilute it to my desired ppms or ec. Any opinions on this?

[@PerfectGardensTV]

My opinion is stay away from fox firm

[@johndoegta2189]

[@NYslide62]

If I make a batch of FF nutrients and don’t use all of it, can I store the unused portion in a mason jar for later use ? Thanks

[@PerfectGardensTV]

Yes, Just stir for a few minutes. If you are adding the bush doctor line just look for mold. If it is sitting for a longer then a week just ph. When water sits it will stagnate and that is your most significant issue. If you are treating your water with a Product call dropsofbalance.com/ The water quality will last longer. If you open the jar and it smell funky..... through it away. You have to think about it like saving left over food. The next day it taste better. The next few days you know if you don't eat it it will beginning to be questionable. - Let me know if this makes sense - Mark

Have been using the flora series. I run RO water. I run advanced deep water culture. Basically a double bucket with a pump in bottom bucket sitting in solution. The pump has 7 sprayers connected by pex line spraying plants 3sec every 3 min. Self contained. With that said, my question is "will fox farm clog sprayers red micro). Second question "does fox farm hold it's pH?) Some lines pH is impossible to maintain def organic lines!

[@JoseGarcia-xw3ex]

nice. I been growing for a few years but never used exactly what I needed I was always not adding the nutes right together so I was missing key nutes but I been doing better but I seen a vid last Night from another youtuber that said pretty much the same thing about FFN but he said the 3 pack set of the big bloom grow and tiger bloom is the same as the the cha-ching, beastie blooms and open sesame just diluted and this guy says the opposite to use all 6 what do u think? the guy from the othe vid said instead of wasting loot just add a lil more of the 3 set than buying the powders cuz its the same

[@daggerkettenring]

I call complete bs on your FF opinions. FF isn't for the newbies and shouldn't be simplified like you're doing. If you don't have the intelligence or patience to do your research, just pick up a nutrient line that's a three part system. I grow top shelf bud using FF and following their schedule. You CAN grow good bud from the main three bottles, but each of those other bottles have a specific purpose and should be used for that purpose. I have always used RO water and it's perfect for FF nutes. This sounds more like bro science than actual nutrient advice. Sure, I can look at the bottles and see some of the same ingredients across them, but different ratios and a few different ingredients create a different product that is beneficial to what it was created for. Water and peroxide are made up of the same thing, but a different ratio of oxygen makes it something completely different. I can drink water, but not hydrogen peroxide. Get what I'm saying?

[@Darknesssleeps]

Did you even listen to what he said?? He literally said all the products help and do different things but aren’t necessary for good bud...which they aren’t. Like he said mostly everyone in the grow community knows FF super multi product lineup is a sham which is why most companies don’t even have as many offerings as they do. They do create multiple separate products that essentially could be combined into one and do the same thing and be more efficient. Buying all these products you might as well create your own supersoil buying the individual organic items needed for a lot cheaper.

[@bigcrazeepapafromupnorf4415]

I agree, I've been using the complete FF line for years and you definitely notice the difference between the 3 mentioned and as for the wholly mackerel that's used during veg not bloom and everyone enjoys the end results around here compared to other flowers in the area , also I only grow indoors very nice automated set-up .veg room going, flower room going and dry room controlled humidity and temperature..now I'd definitely like to try some outdoor soon!

Do you check the ph of your water with ro? I was looking into getting a 0ppm R/O setup because I was reading you don’t need ph up/down because the ppm are so low the ph doesn’t matter. I like the idea of less additives in the water. Thanks in advance.
