FoxFarm Tiger Bloom Liquid Plant Food 2-8-4
FoxFarm Tiger Bloom Liquid Plant Food (2-8-4) is a concentrated, high-phosphorus fertilizer formulated to support abundant flowering, fruit production, and multiple bud development. Designed for use from the first signs of flowering through harvest, it supplies phosphorus and potassium alongside nitrogen, magnesium, and chelated micronutrients.
Tiger Bloom works in soil, soilless growing media, and hydroponic systems. Its concentrated micronutrient package is formulated at a low pH to maintain stability during storage and keep essential elements available after the fertilizer has been diluted and properly adjusted.

How to Use FoxFarm Tiger Bloom
Cover the vented cap and shake thoroughly before use. Begin applying Tiger Bloom when plants show their first signs of flowering and continue through harvest.
- General Feeding: Mix 2–3 teaspoons (10–15 mL) per gallon of water. Apply every other watering.
- Heavy Feeding: Mix 4 teaspoons (20 mL) per gallon of water. Apply every other watering.
- Recirculating Hydroponic Systems: Mix 2 teaspoons (10 mL) per gallon with every reservoir change. Use up to 3 teaspoons (15 mL) per gallon for heavy feeding.
- Foliar Feeding: Mix ½ teaspoon (2.5 mL) per gallon of water and apply every other week. Spray both sides of the leaves early in the morning. Do not apply under direct light or during the heat of the day.
After all fertilizers and supplements have been diluted and thoroughly mixed, check the final nutrient solution and adjust its pH to the appropriate range. FoxFarm recommends a final solution pH of approximately 5.8–6.3 when following the Tiger Bloom product directions.
Never combine undiluted fertilizer concentrates directly. When using Tiger Bloom with Big Bloom, Grow Big, or other FoxFarm products, follow the appropriate FoxFarm Soil or Hydro Feeding Schedule and adjust nutrient strength according to plant response.
