hello icmag community im currently growing 2 afghan kush ryders,easy ryder(5 days from seed), and pineapple express(just planted).The afghan kush ryders are at day 19 from seed and 5 inches tall i've been using big bloom from ff since seedlings and they love it, now heres my deal the afghan kush are feminized from attitude seedbank, this is my first auto grow normally i grow outside less work, but anyway my plants are showing signs of sex at 3 weeks, from the research i been doing i hear you feed tiger bloom as soon as signs of sex but im a little worried cause its been 3 wks and i don't want to feed to early just because the risk of nute burn,but i also heard you want to start feeding soon as u flower, so what should i do just go half the strength it says 2 teaspoons so should i start from 1/2 teaspon and work my way up or just go 2 teaspoons?

feedback welcome:tiphat:

Honestly...I would start out using 1/4 nut strength.....working up to half strength....watch your plants for signs of nute burn.....also I would only use the nutes every other watering and just use plain water in between.....hope this helps....:tiphat:

okay i was kinda leaning towards 1/4 of tiger bloom, being this will be my babies first time with tiger bloom, they are diffently loving the big bloom i been feeding them every other water so being i already feed them big bloom do you think i'll be good mixing big bloom and tiger bloom together i already mix 4 tbs of big bloom to a gal, so if i mix em together i would go 4tbs big bloom/ and 1/4 tps of tiger bloom feed every other feeding and gradually increase tiger bloom nutes?

Something that needs to be asked...what kind of soil, or soil mix are you using? Does it have added ferts (by you)?

I have seen many auto grows ruined, or almost ruined by adding tiger bloom to the mix.

I would also test one plant, but some strains are much more sensitive than others.

1/8 to 1/4 as others suggest is solid, but as to when, It depends on what your plants are in.

im growing them in fox farm soil and i have a 5 gallon pot so both the plants are in there too be on the safe safe side i was thinkin 1/8 tps of tiger bloom should be fine just b/c the recommended feeding says 2 tps i m a just start with a 1/8 of nutes and wait to see how she reacts if she likes it i'll just bump it up to 1/4,1/2, then to full but im a feed them every other watering or every 4 days
