Fox Farm

microscopyuseonly · 11-05-07, 18:56

I was just curious, for you all organic botanists out there...... What kind of feeding schedule do you use and/or recommend when using liquid ferts on a promix based soilless mix. Namely Fox farm grow/tiger/bloom which is what I would like to switch over to from earth juice. I read on their website that it's safe to feed with their products "every watering" but this seems like way too much to me. I was thinking maybe every other watering....... I just need a safe average to start at and I'll fine tune it from there. Thanks guys

every watering is ok. Just mix it half strength or every other watering if that makes you feel more comfortable. Its a forgiving product. I never have had much problems with it. I think the stuff is one of the best products on the market.

Wow, quick reply.... Yeah, I forgot to even ask what you think of the product itself or if you have any other recommendations along the same lines...

Do you think that feeding every watering makes a noticeable difference given the minute quantities of active ingredients in the mix, or are the excess nutrients just sitting in the medium, slowly building up over time, just not at a toxic level?
