I was wondering. I bought some Peters Super Blossom today (10-52-10). I was wondering if anyone has had any comparison with this to Fox Farms Products, as I will be going to look at those this week. I realize this might be a matter of opinion but I just figured someone might've experimented with both.

Foxfarms has a fully versatile line for blooming and flowering. Their flagship products are tiger bloom, big bloom, and Grow big.

You really cannot begin to compare the peters with the Foxfarms as foxfarms products are almost fully organic.

(note: I say almost because there is some inconsistancy with some ingredients used)

Yeah, I was going to say comparing the two is like comparing apples and apes Peters is quick and dirty - no fuss, no muss. It's available pretty much everywhere and is a good chemical alternative to Miracle Grow. I've used it and it's great. Fox Farms strikes me more as a philosophy of growing. You either buy into their philosophy or you don't. I've never used them but people who do love them and I've never heard any problems.

Well that's what I figured. It's all about what you like. Hey GH, when do you start using the Peters? Do you start with the recommended dose, 1tbsp/gallon and increase it every feeding?

I use Peters fertilizer and if you are growing in pots the dose is 1 tsp/gal of water. I feed once a week and I try to work it into a normal watering schedule. As soon as the clones are firmly rooted or the seedlings have a few sets of leaves is when I give them the full dose.

Thanks Buzz, but i'm using Peters Super Blossom. I think your thinking of something else. Unless that's what you use for them. The NPK ratio is 10-52-10. So would I start using that the 4th week into flowering after I cut off my original supply of N. Or can I use that right when I begin flowering seeing as how it supplies it's own N.

I am not thinking of something else. Check the label again for your measurement. The 1 Tbsp/gallon is for plants in the landscape not those in containers. I'l quote from the label on the box. It is in small print under Watering Can & Pail Use:. "For house plants use 1 tsp. per gallon of water."

I feed the 10-52-10 right from the start of 12/12. If they appear to be Nitrogen hungry during the stretch I will give them a dose of 20-20-20. After the stretch I feed once a week until 2 weeks before harvest. Only water the last two weeks.

Cool, I must've been reading the wrong part. Thanks Buzz.
