FF Ocean Forest soil with FF Big Bloom nutrients. Do I need any other nutes???

[RobMarley420]

I've started up my first indoor grow and I was planning on going 100% organic.

My plants are in Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil and I have Fox Farm Big Bloom nutrients.

Will the FFBB nutrients be enough for the plants??? I see some people use 3 different kinds of nutes throughout the different growth stages.

Do you think my plants will turn out good using nothing but FFBB nutrients and FFOF soil?

You won't have the best yields but you will have a nice tasty product.

FF Big Bloom is an additive. Not a base fertilizer. You still need to get Fox Farm Grow Big and Fox Farm Tiger Bloom.

Then, that's all you will need.

check out their feed chart on their site, I use it just like it says at full strength for indicas and more like 3/4 for sativas

vary your ph between 6.3 and 6.8 sounds high but thats what it's (FFOF) buffered for

Don't use growbig or tiger if you want to be organic, those 2 aren't. Big bloom is like a concentrate tea, it will probably support veg growth for awhile. I think you will have to find a bloom nute for flowering as the NPK in BB is real low. You might want to research about "super soils" in the organic sub-forum and just add water. Grow on,Fred

I used the whole FF line with pretty good results. I used the grow big, big bloom and tiger bloom as directed but then used like double the suggested amount of the solubles to bump my ec up to 2.0 and it did pretty pretty well but I've moved on the House and Garden.

Big bloom will not be sufficient!...
you will have 0 micro nutes available to your plants and you will have problems.
others are right about grow big and tiger bloom being inorganic but all of fox farm's micro nutes are in those two ferts...
If you want to go organic find a different source for your micro's and you will want a good flowering nute when it comes time.

I would caution against giving more than the suggested amounts of any fox farm product.
Especially the solubles!!
You will burn the shit out of your plants if you dont know wut your doing!

I will agree that he will have better results with a micro loaded bloom nutrient, but he is not gonna have guaranteed problems. Unless the OP is using RO water I don't agree with that statement. I have rocked nothing but tap water and seabird guano in the ocean forest with no deficiencies.

So you're counting on tap water for micros?
I guess i prefer to use RO and only add exactly what the plants need...
tap contains all kinds of shit your plants not only dont need but is bad for them... i.e. Lead ..(not to mention other unknown TDS)
your water obviously isnt hard...if it was you WOULD have gaurenteed problems
Thats good you are not having problems...
Im betting your plants will respond well if you use RO water and administer the PROPER level of micros and overall TDS.

I'm at 1700 ppm of co2 and I keep my ec at 2.0 all through flower and to get there with foxfarms, I had to double the solubles. Do you even use foxfarm nutes? Do you have a ppm wand or truncheon?

Yes i do use FF nutes...no i dont test ec or ppm... i just had a bad experience went i first started the solubles...
Started with recommended dose and burned my girls pretty bad...
When i started growing i wasnt using grow big and ended up with micro deficiencies...
Thats why i say you'd probly end up with issues...
