I use the full fox farm line my buddy uses advanced and we both end up with the same results but I pay much less and seem to have less headache tuning it all in. I also use sweet raw on top of it. Hope this helps in your decision.

fox farm does not make a grow micro bloom. so if you compare the options they will loose because of that type of stuff.

Fox farms big bloom is their micro in the three part base nutes. I know it causes a bit of confusion in the regards to the name of it but it is the micro. Unless I'm understanding your reply wrong? They have the base three grow, micro, and bloom then the bush Doctor series for microbes and beneficial bacteria and the soluble trio for flower boost

Why complicate your life with three parts. Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro, GROW and BLOOM EACH have 100% of the macro's and micro's you need. The best program is Foliage-Pro for vegetative growth, and then switch to BLOOM for flowering.

Well when I started using fox farm my harvests just started getting egged and better and when I finally tuned everything in I wouldn't have believed I grew it even if I popped out of a time machine and showed myself and I'm just one of those guys who doesn't change things that have worked. Same reason I've gotten my hair cut by the same chick for the past five years except for when I was in jail. I'll def look into it though I plan on building a small aero Rubbermaid to be able to test stuff out without it effecting the big picture like the house and garden top shooter I impulsively bought them started thinking maybe adding the new flower growth might not be worth the weight if it's not going to be ripe

That's great! Where did you get the calcium, cobalt and zinc that are missing from their micros? The cost was a bit more at double the 1 tsp/G Foliage-Pro application rate, and not even going to the 3 tsp recommendation on their label.

Calcium and Zinc are in Grow Big Hydroponic. I was using it strait up with no problems. No Big Bloom (fuck that shit in hydro). Cost wasn't that big of a deal. I have no idea what the recommend dosage is cause I never follow that on bottles anyways. I've never really liked their Grow Big for soil or the flower nutes. The hydro veg nutes, like I said, are the shit.

The thing is nutes are nutes. It's how you use them vs cost. Any of them are good. Advanced, FF, Botanicare, Cutting Edge, H&G, GH, Hydroponic Research, Biobizz, Earth Juice, Mills, Alaskan fish ferts ect.

hi cemchris,
The Foxfarm msds for Grow Big doesn't show calcium as an ingredient and cannabis needs quite a bit. The Dyna-Gro base nutes have calcium in one formulation. That is what sets DG apart from the others.

Weird huh? Set it apart? You do know almost all base nutes has Ca in them. I get you are all about the dyno gro but veg nutes are pretty solid from almost all companies.

there's a better shot. Also just a heads up. MSDS don't have to list all the ingredents in the product just what might be considered hazardous. Not the best thing to go off of.

Most have two or three parts because it is very hard to put all 16 nutrients in one formulation. I looked up FF Big Grow MSDS since I didn't have a label handy, and it didn't list it. Their rate for a heavy feeder is still is 3X ours.

I ran the ff line next to the an sensi a&b in Dwc buckets and the an had far better growth rates. Like grayarea said it is comparing organic to synthetic. I've never ran an's organic program that might be more of a comparison to the ff program. I still think ff makes good products.

If you want to learn, go with the company that has the most bottles... You will learn when to use them, how to use them, and why you are using them... after you understand what is going on, then you are off on your own.

I hope you have an RO machine... If you don't, there's no reason to worry about calcium anyway, because it's already in your tap water.
