So I have a 5 week old Auto that started to flower last week. It's in a 2.9 liter( 0.8 gal.) pot, FFOF, and I only fertilized it once with 2 cups of Big Bloom at a mix ratio of 4 Tbsp/gal.(general feeding) They have a 'heavy feeding' ratio of 1/2 cup (8 Tbsp)/gal. on the label.
Is it ready for the stronger mix and feed that every watering or every other watering? Would it benifit to also use GH FloraNova Grow as a Nute?
Also, my local hydroponic dealer gave me a 30 ml. sample bottle of GH Floralicious Plus, and directions say 1 tsp./5 gal., renew with each nutrient change. No suggested feeding schedule for soil grows. Can this be used at every watering?
I'm guessing that she will need watering every 2- 4 days because of the small pot and the increase growing rate.
I know it's only one little Auto, but I'd like to get the most out of of it.
What say ye,Growery?

With the toe of lighting your using, if go WAY less than recommended on the bottle. You're plant isn't going to be growing as vigorously as if they were under hps.
I'd give a low dose of bloom ferts, like tiger bloom

Big bloom is mostly for adding beneficial bacteria to your soil. It doesn't do much on it's own. I'd say go with hawk's advice. Use tiger bloom, but a low dose of it. Use nutrients every other watering. You could probably get away with adding the flora + every watering but you may want to just hold back and go every other watering. Your auto is looking really good, no need to try a million things on it. Skip the floranova grow and just go for the tiger bloom IMO. I'd say after your next plain watering, mix up some tiger bloom, big bloom and floralicious + at like 1/3 strength each.
Big bloom is basically a worm and guano tea for plant health and scent and flavor. Flora nova or flora duo are great nutes, go very lightly at first, half the reccomended strength on any bottle. Floralicious plus is a great additive and should be used at a rate of 1ml per gallon it is very concentrated. Enjoy!
