Is Big Bloom^™ only for making flowers bloom?

Big Bloom^™ works magic in the flower garden, but that’s not all it’s good for.  It also promotes healthy rooting, speeds healing of stressed or diseased plants, and increases essential oil production for extraordinary fragrance and fabulous flavor.

Why is the NPK rating so low on Big Bloom^™?

Big Bloom^™ is not a mineral salt fertilizer. It’s entirely organic.  The organic, biologically active nutrients we use in our organic products have a functional value that can’t be measured in a test tube.  Beneficial microorganisms, pre-digested enzymes, vitamins and amino acids are the key to the power of Big Bloom^™.  These ingredients don’t often register high NPK numbers; however, they do have a profound effect on plant life.

Can I use Big Bloom^™ and Tiger Bloom^® together? 

Yes!  Our liquid fertilizer formulas complement one another.  Used together, Big Bloom^™ and Tiger Bloom^® will deliver bigger fruit and flowers with sweeter taste and more aroma.  The beneficial microbes on Big Bloom^™ will provide optimum nutrient delivery, invigorated root zone health, and accelerated flowering.  See our feeding schedules for ideas on how to combine these fertilizers for outstanding results.

How do I mix the liquid fertilizers like Big Bloom^™, Tiger Bloom^®, and Grow Big^® together?  What about the solubles, like Cha Ching^®, Open Sesame^®, and Beastie Bloomz^®?

When you mix FoxFarm liquids or our soluble fertilizers together, do the following:  Begin with a gallon of water.  Add each fertilizer product to the water in the recommended dose.  There is no need to use a gallon of water for each kind of fertilizer. Adding the fertilizers individually to the same gallon of water poses no risk.  Do not, however, mix concentrates together in pure form.  Remember not to overfeed, or you could burn your plants.

For best results use the liquid and soluble products together using the above guidelines. Be sure to reference our feeding schedule, because all products should not be used at the same time in order to avoid nutrient lock-out.

Why do you have Grow Big^® in your feeding schedule when my plants are in the flowering cycle?

Grow Big^® actually helps makes bigger fruit and flowers with sturdier plant structure, so it’s not just for early growth stages.  It will strengthen the plant’s immune system and make it more disease resistant.  By delivering some additional nitrogen through early and midterm flower development, you’ll see that Grow Big^® helps maintain healthier foliage without lanky stretching. 

When combined with Big Bloom^™ and Tiger Bloom^®, Grow Big^® will invigorate the root system and improve nutrient uptake and transpiration rate.

Will Big Bloom^™ clog my pump in my hydroponic system?

Big Bloom^™ will not clog pumps.  Just be sure you shake it well before using, and remember that it needs to be filtered for aeroponic systems.

Why do I have to adjust my pH so often with Grow Big^® and Tiger Bloom^®?

Both our Grow Big^® and our Tiger Bloom^® formulas include a concentrated micronutrient package that is low in pH.  The advantage to this is that a low pH enables micronutrients to remain stable without any nutrient fallout.  FoxFarm fertilizers are extra-strength, and plants can absorb them easily, but this can cause pH swings.  Regular pH adjustments are recommended especially in early growth stages.  As the plant ages, you’ll notice that the pH will eventually stabilize.

Will I get a chemical taste from the minerals in Grow Big^® and Tiger Bloom^®?

Absolutely not.  Both formulas are made with high-quality fertilizers, micronutrients, and organic catalysts.  You’ll never have to sacrifice flavor when you use FoxFarm products.
